Do you have a cookbook? You're my favorite chef on RUclips or anywhere. Easy to understand directions and good technique. My family has been loving all these dishes. Thank fam
Portuguese person here! I’d definitely call peri-peri or chicken mozambique luso-african (portuguese african). Definitely would never exist without mozambique and angola’s influence on portuguese cuisine. I know portugal claims it as theirs but sole ownership of this meal is definitely crazy haha. love the portuguese cuisine representation on this channel though, so underrated
@@basedmed258 well that’s not true, it’s made using a combination, garlic, butter, lemon, paprika, all existed in portuguese cuisine before colonialism. It’s very blatantly a fusion!
Feel free to experiment with the chilis you use in this peri peri chicken wings recipe, If you like it spicy maybe go for extra habanero or scotch Bonnets, HAPPY COOKING my sweet sweet friends!!
Sunny I love you brother I love these videos and your recipes you're just the absolute best cook here on RUclips I hope you reply to me because I've been here since day one and absolutely hands down the best cook in the world is you @thatdudecancook
Portuguese here: the portuguese brought chilis from America to Africa. There the portuguese colonisers with the local community created the dish mixing portuguese ingredients and techniques with local ones. So u can say its portuguese or african, neither are wrong or right.
What I love about your videos, besides your energy, is you teach us to cook. Food Network used to do that and now they are just a reality tv show. Thank you Sonny!!
I have found that Fresno peppers are one of the few that retain their heat when cooked. Fresno's also have a fruity flavor to them, which I have not really encountered before. Habeneros are very hot raw but almost mild when cooked. Serranos have a wonderful flavor and still retain some heat when cooked.
I literally just finished eating a peri peri chicken from your last peri peri spatchcocked chicken recipe. You've opened my eyes to a whole new world of spicy and complex chicken. I will be making this within the week. Thanks for the amazing, in-depth content.
Piri-Piri (aka Peri Peri) is African birds eye. They're not very different from the Asian birds-eye chillies found commonly in grocery stores. I found a mix of red birds-eye, some habanero, smoked paprika, 1-2 Indian green cayenne (aka Jwala chillies) with shallots, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic works quite well.
Mozambique isn't central African, pilipili is the Swahili word for pepper, and the peppers used are called African birds eye chili, which are native to Africa.
@sorryitsmoops which then went on to be used in a sauce made by portuguese settlers... alongside other ingredients the portuguese brought over like vinegar and garlic, yeah its definitely more of a fusion than the food of one specific country
I have to imagine Sonny's neighbors hearing the sound of a fridge being massacred and knowing that they might get something tasty soon. It's like the world's most violent dinner bell lol. Also if you want to cut down on tears with onions or shallots it sometimes helps if you chew aromatic gum like spearmint, at least that's what we did at the pizza joint I worked at when we had to cut them in bulk.
Most people make food videos…but dude actually makes cooking videos I’ve learned new techniques from….like I know how to add things to things but the way he shows simple things like cutting techniques seasoning or cooking styles and how it makes it different is key
Not my intention to take any traffic away from Sonny because I think he's great, but you may also really like Chef Jean-Pierre and Not Another Cooking Show.
Sunny, South Afrika is the home of Hot Peri-Peri Chicken! 😊 A friendly tip from the South of Africa, use some Apple Cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. There is a really truly deep relationship between capsaicin and apple, very hard to explain, just trust me. Thanks for the cooking vids, you are the best boet.
You should try apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in the sauce instead. But otherwise its close to what we use. And it has to be Braai'd (bbq) or smoked to get the authentic flavour. As a South African i use the following: Garlic Onion Birds eye chilli Smoked paprika ACV/Lemon juice Bayleaf Oregano Olive Oil Salt and pepper You can increase the amount of oil and acid as well to make it into a sauce you can blend for topping other foods as well.
Sonny, I made these wings last week and they were amazing. After I made these, I ordered my Mocaljete on Amazon (It had been on my wishlist forever but I saw it drop 60% for Prime Day). So now I'm going to sit in front of NetFlix and cure my mocaljete with rice and salt.
I made the peri peri chicken two days ago…marinated 24 hours. My husband was over the moon. I have some sauce leftover…time for chicken wings!! Excellent recipe 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
4:00 if you're going to be working with gloves, a good trick is to wear two pair, one that you don't take off and one that is interchangeable. It solves the wet hands problem.
I made this recipe tonight with some homemade pizza. The wing sauce is amazing and the cilantro drip was a hit! My 80 year old father loved it so much he gave my fridge a tornado kick! The kitchen will never be the same. 10/10 will definitely make them again and some of the best wings ever! Thanks Sonny! I love your videos.
It is portugues for sure. The culture is atuned to the spices, and argubaly quite evident in the street food, more than that of the food in mozambique. The history of Portugal also comes from those Eastern parts of Africa, so there's a possibilty it couldv'e been reinterpreted by them from portugal.
@@sorryitsmoops It’s most certainly a result of portuguese colonization of mozambique and angola. in portugal this is called chicken mozambique. africa has a huge influence on portuguese cuisine and vice versa with regard to mozambique and angola. this is definitely a portuguese dish, but also an african dish. luso-african.
I love it. A new wing recipe for me to try. And we might be on the same page when it comes to heat. For me, the flavor HAS to justify it. Habanero's definitely bring the flavor.
Although any chilli will work, bird's eye have a specific heat profile that set them apart. They cause the sauce to produce chilli flavour without heat at the beginning, then building the afterburn. Similar idea to Szechuan pepper. P.s. South African here, piri piri is definitely from Moçambique.
I remember seeing this man’s shorts for the first time and thinking who is this lunatic, but soon realized he’s really good at cooking, simple and straight to the point instructions and legit MMA skills
As usual, another exceptional recipe. After viewing the recipe to the end, I proceeded to check the category of kitchen equipment which you own and love hoping to find a link to the molcajete you were using and was disappointed that there wasn't one. In your future videos, which I watch regularly, would you be so kind as to include a link for the molcajete you were using? Thank you and keep up the good work!
I'm portugiese and it's "Piri piri" 😄. It's eaten a lot in Portugal, that's true, but I wouldn't argument that it's originally from Portugal, considering that the portuguese cuisine was influenced by all the colonies that Portugal used to have... so Mozambique for sure teached the portuguese some of their goodness, but also the other way around... so... as long as you pronounce it and write it correctly (piri piri) I'm happy 😊. And since I'm writing a comment anyway, please be gentle with your kitchen appliances... it took me years to actually buy a nice fridge and it always hurts me every time you hit yours 🙈
It’s definitely African. I grew up in Louisiana. The French always claimed our food too. When I was college I went to France and no one had ever heard of Jambalaya, Gumbo or Crawdad. I went to West Africa 2 years later and ever single Louisiana dish was an integral part of the culture of five west African countries. Same for Peri Peri chicken. There are numerous versions of this in several countries in Africa but with fish.
The Portuguese introduced chillies all over the World. Chillies originally come from the Americas. Portuguese colonisers in Mozambique created piri piri. Many Portuguese ex pats from Mozambique or Angola have their own version of this recipe.
Hey sonny I hope you see this I unfortunately have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap is there another aromatic herb I could use for the yogurt sauce?
It's Portuguese but it's African. Portuguese traveled, known to travel, this was created in Africa by pork chops. Birds eye chiles is what you want to use. You can use Thai chili
Nando’s peri-peri chicken is more akin to the South African version but it does have elements of the PE (Portuguese-East) African (original) version however the key to the authentic PP chicken is the Birds Eye chillies.
Hurry up man I'm trying to eat. What's the ratio on cutting the Peri-Peri butter sauce I only have about one cup of sauce left how much butter and vinegar do I add to that?
I would use the remainder in the molcajete for a sauce and marinate with the separated portion to avoid cross contamination. U touched raw chicken to the molcajete
Hey, I was told keeping a wet paper towel near the onions while chopping them will make you not cry as much, if at all would love to see you give that a try
Do you have a cookbook? You're my favorite chef on RUclips or anywhere. Easy to understand directions and good technique. My family has been loving all these dishes. Thank fam

Not going lie. That sounds good.
@@M_Jono 😂 don't you ever forget. Never ever! Not in 10 trillion years!
Peri Peri is both African and Portuguese influenced. Came about when the Portuguese came to central Africa with Chili peppers called Piri Piri.
It's made with African birds eye chilli and the word Peri peri is a Swahili word.
Mozambique isn't central African, pilipili is the Swahili word for pepper, and the peppers used are called African birds eye chili, which are native to Africa.

His neighbours are Rocky Racoon and Punxsutawney Phil!!
Also don’t cut off the root end of the onion until the very last moment: that’s what makes onions go pungent: it’s self defence!
Totally lush. Did the 24hr marinade, cooked them in the oven. The sauce, the dip. It's a taste sensation!
Most people make food videos…but dude actually makes cooking videos I’ve learned new techniques from….like I know how to add things to things but the way he shows simple things like cutting techniques seasoning or cooking styles and how it makes it different is key
I appreciate that bro!
The most important thing I learned is how to fuck up a fridge.
This is one of the more informative food channels.
I've definitely stepped up my game since I've been subscribed
Not my intention to take any traffic away from Sonny because I think he's great, but you may also really like Chef Jean-Pierre and Not Another Cooking Show.
I make peri peri chicken once every two weeks or so. It is just hot enough to make you sweat a bit uncomfortably, but the flavour is really good.
exactly right!!
I watch you eat chicken and that makes me sweat a bit

I’ll give that a shot! I can see how it would be good
I think Portuguese get paprika much earlier :)
You should try apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in the sauce instead. But otherwise its close to what we use. And it has to be Braai'd (bbq) or smoked to get the authentic flavour.
As a South African i use the following:
Garlic

Bayleaf
Oregano
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
You can increase the amount of oil and acid as well to make it into a sauce you can blend for topping other foods as well.

That's how they prepare "Berbere" in Ethiopia and they turn it into powder to make sauces all year round!
Berbere chicken wings next??

I just tried this recipe. Instead of tomato paste i used gochujang to build on that pepper flavor.

The history of Portugal also comes from those Eastern parts of Africa, so there's a possibilty it couldv'e been reinterpreted by them from portugal.
People living in East Southern Africa made peri-peri with a chili native to Africa. It's about as Portuguese as biltong is Dutch.
@@sorryitsmoops It’s most certainly a result of portuguese colonization of mozambique and angola. in portugal this is called chicken mozambique. africa has a huge influence on portuguese cuisine and vice versa with regard to mozambique and angola. this is definitely a portuguese dish, but also an african dish. luso-african.
7:12 The yell at the end!! LMAO!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
I love it. A new wing recipe for me to try. And we might be on the same page when it comes to heat. For me, the flavor HAS to justify it. Habanero's definitely bring the flavor.
Guy fieri’s peri peri sauce at his chicken restaurants is so good.
I wonder what the neighbors think when you're outside beating up an empty refrigerator in your backyard. 🤔
I need the origin story of this epic beef between you and that fridge
I just really hate that fridge man
@@thatdudecancook Fair enough 😌
You are hysterical with that fridge scene.
This cookbook needs to be available in Australia. I have 2 fridges.
I demand a fridge attack compilation lol
Everytime you square up with the fridge I wheeze so hard.
mozambique was a portuguese colony. in portugal they call it piri piri. mozanbique just upgraded it into a spicier version.
Freestyle it amazing dipping sauce incredible
Man that looks so much better than the premade stuff!
Definitely looks really good.
Idk if I’m just hungry right now, but that’s one of the better recipes I’ve seen in a while.

I grow my own birdseye and I will try it .
I wonder what his neighbours think every time he goes out to beef with his fridge.
You should start a series of vids. Like top 5 or top 10 sauces, split into categories, hot, cold, spicy..
