There may be a theme developing here as this is another 30 minute meal (although I missed 2 of the components of this one out, as I didn’t fancy them!). I first tried piri piri chicken in Portugal years ago, and instantly fell in love. I’d tried in the past to replicate the spicy chilli sauce here but had never managed to get the taste quite right, and whilst the restaurant version is nice it still doesn’t quite replicate what I’d tasted in Portugal.
The sauce in this recipe was about the closest I’ve come to a true Piri Piri sauce. It had a really spicy kick and was the right consistency. It was incredible even when I tasted it raw before pouring over the chicken!
I also love the dressed potatoes which went with this recipe – a mixture of regular and sweet potatoes were cooked, crushed and then mixed together chilli, coriander and feta cheese. I’d never thought about this combination with potatoes in the past but it was fantastic, and a great accompaniment to the chicken.
Overall this has actually been one of my favourite meals this year.
