The story behind
This recipe reminds me of a little roadside shack I found while traveling. There's something about the combination of charred skin and that vinegary chili sauce that just hits the spot. It's the kind of meal that's best enjoyed in the afternoon, maybe as a late lunch under the sun. It’s messy, it’s spicy, and it’s absolutely delicious. If you want a pro tip, serve it with a crisp lager or even a sparkling water with lots of lime.
Instructions
-
1Mix the chilies, garlic, oil, lemon juice, and salt to create the signature Piri Piri marinade.

-
3Grill or roast the chicken until the skin is perfectly charred and the meat is tender.
-
4Fry up some potatoes until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
-
5Serve the chicken hot and garnish generously with chopped scallions for that fresh finish.
