This chick will not leave anyone indifferent! The Portuguese are proud of this dish, although it has African roots that go back to the former Portuguese colonies. "Piri-piri" is what they call chili peppers in Portugal. It is on this basis that the famous "Piri-piri" sauce is prepared. I make this sauce myself at home, but you can now buy it in large supermarkets.

And what kind of chicken turns out after marinating in this sauce is hard to describe, you need to cook it! Which is what I suggest you do now. Piri-piri chicken is a spicy dish, since this sauce is similar to Tabasco sauce, so be careful when adding it to the marinade. Prepare all the products and let's get started!
