    I'm from South Africa and grew up eating Nandos and homemade peri-peri chicken. I did it on the grill over a wood fire and the results were spectacular. This was even better than anything I had before in Africa. We live in North Carolina now and I made this for some local friends. They said I ruined KFC and Popeyes for them. They only want chicken like this now.

However, the other 10% is the realization that pushing towards our vision of perfection helps us grow, and it takes a lot of growth to become great at something. Depends what you are trying to get out of cooking I guess... or the rest of life. But yeah, first and foremost, you have to enjoy doing it.

    Made the marinade for this earlier tonight. I'll update this comment after I eat tomorrow, but I did change a few things. Had to work with the ingredients I have! So sub scallions for the shallots. Instead of Fresnos I used 1.5 "yellow 7-pot lava" peppers and a hatch Chile, since they're in season. The 7-pot is sweet heat, like a Caribbean jerk pepper but way spicier than fresnos. I used unsmoked paprika, and replaced the thyme with a bunch of tarragon! It smelled amazing. I saved just enough to lightly sauce some broccoli, which I roasted, charred, then ate. SUPER TASTY. Thank you so much for your education! I use it for inspiration all the time! Really grateful for you :)

    “Don’t let not having one ingredient stop you from cooking”
    Yes, thank you! I think this message is severely understated. Honestly, unless you cook a ton, you’re probably not going to have a ton of ingredients, so missing one or two is normal. First up, search up some alternates, or in some cases ways to make it at home. You could also try thinking about the flavors and putting in what you think could replace it best.
    I always have a lot of fun doing either, and it also made me a better cook, as I got more familiar with ingredients. So experiment away!

    I worked in Tete Mozambique for a year. There was a little hole in the wall restaurant that served Peri Peri chicken. Since then I have tried many recipes at home to duplicate it and have come very close now. This method looks bang on the only thing it is missing is this has to be done over a charcoal fire. It is simply not the same without the smoke flavour as well. It would take this dish from an 8 to a 10 for sure.

    • @sadaf1482
      @sadaf1482 11 месяцев назад +7

      If you want to do it on a pan but with the charcoal flavour, try heating up a charcoal (on stove). once hot, place it in a small bowl.
      Place this small bowl in the big chicken marinade bowl and drop a teaspoon of clarified butter and instantly close the bowl with a lid (let it sit for 20-30 mins). The smoke of the coal will permeate in the chicken and give it that charcoal and smoky flavour.
      I’ve seen this in Indian curry recipes when they want to give it a smoky kick.

    BTW. Peri Peri is mostly found dried. Although I made a mistake once of scooping a few scoops of fresh Peri-Peri chilies in my bowl. The person I was staying with put it in a salad bowl with lettuce and sliced green pepper and I thought it was oddly shaped cherry tomatoes. It's a very painful memory, since in some cultures if you put it on your plate, you eat it. It's insulting and greedy if you don't.

    I was always told that Peri-Peri was brought by Portuguese explorers to the South parts of Africa. Where they also refer to it as Pili-Pili. However, in Portugal they spell it Piri-Piri.
    Regardless where you travel to, be it in Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, the Islands (Açores/Madeira), Brazil Africa or even in the UK; There will be various different flavors of this sauce & marinade.
    It is quite delicious and it could be made either mild or spicy/hot.

It's definitely going to be a stable of my diet now. ps in my anxiousness to get this going, I missed the step in the video where it seared the chicken in the frying pan first and I placed it in the oven. upon realizing my mistake I just placed it back on top of the stove, and because I didn't let the pan heat properly I ruined the chicken skin.

    I made this for my family tonight. I can verify that it is extraordinary. It's of the best chicken recipes I've ever eaten. It's definitely the best chicken I've ever made. Hands down.
    I followed the recipe and the instructions verbatim, with the following exceptions:
    1. We don't have Fresno chilies at any of the grocery stores. I subbed in a 50/50 mix of jalapeno and chipotle on Google's recommendation.
    2. No mortar and pestle so I had to use a food processor.
    3. The reserve marinade was a little tart and spicy, so I added in about three tablespoons of allulose (sugar alternative. I'm on Keto), and also gave it some creaminess by adding a couple tablespoons of sour cream. This helped soften the spiciness which was important for my kids. Everything else was exactly as you instructed sir.
    On a side note, for taste test purposes, in a small bowl I mixed a little sauce with a little honey. It was mind-blowing. The next time I take a keto break I'm going to make this and sweeten the sauce with a few tablespoons of honey.
    Thank you for the excellent recipe, and the outstanding instructions.

Fast forward about ten years and I went shopping for hot sauce and found a peri-peri sauce made in S. Africa in a Whole Foods in the DC area. It was very good but one day it was not available and the clerk told me the company apparently went out of business. Too bad. I will plan to try this homemade peri-peri sauce as soon as I can muster up 5 or 6 people who want to try spatchcocked African grilled peri-peri chicken.

I'd recommend using a couple leave in electric bluetooth thermometers, we failed to do this. We didn't quite render out all the fat in the skin or the collagen in the dark meat as we checked the oven too frequently. It should render when we reheat the dark meat tomorrow.
