I have no idea what's on the menu at the (highly recommended should you find yourself in the Algarve) Teodósio O Rei Dos Frangos, we never even read it, but on every table there was a pile of grilled chicken, fried potatoes and a tomato onion. Any other recipe that requires frying, braising or oven roasting is a fake. Unlike other recipes, my grandmother's Portuguese Piri Piri Chicken does not require overnight marinades.
Steps to make Piri Piri Chicken Tikka:
- In a large mixing bowl, add yoghurt, ginger-garlic powder, paprika powder, Piri Piri spice powder. Mix everything nicely.
- Add grated cheese, corn flour, salt, fresh cream and oil. Mix well.
- Add the boneless chicken pieces. Coat well with the yogurt mix. Marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 180-degree Celsius for 10-15 minutes. Line a baking tray with foil and grease it with butter.
- Place the chicken pieces on the tray and bake for 20 minutes. Bast with melted butter once it starts browning.
- You can also cook them in a skillet or pan. Just heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook each side for 5-7 minutes or until it gets a golden colour.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with onion rings and mint-coriander chutney. Enjoy!
This oven-roasted chicken can also be spatchcocked and barbecued. If you don't like it too hot, adjust the amount of chillies in the piri-piri marinade. Add half the piri-piri sauce, spreading it evenly over the chicken. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Because this Piri Piri Chicken is fiery hot.
