Piri piri (or peri peri / peli-peli) chicken, a very popular Portuguese dish, is traditionally made with piri piri chilli peppers which originated in South Africa, and were imported to Portugal from two Portuguese colonies, Angola and Mozambique. However, you can use any hot chilli such as bird’s eye chilli, or a even chilli paste (I used sambal olek here) to make the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for 4-6 hours for the optimum flavor and texture. You don't want to marinate it longer than overnight as the marinade contains accid which will result more stringy and dry chicken if you leave it too long. Serve this easy one-pan traybake with rice (to soak up the extra sauce), a salad or potatoes for a wonderful weekday meal.

- In a large bowl combine garlic, oregano leaves, samba olek, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika & lime juice. Mix all ingredients to a smooth paste.
- Rub each side of the chicken quarters with the marinade. Arrange the chicken quarters on a tray lined with aluminum foil or baking paper. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight to develop the flavours.
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, for 40 minutes or until brown and juices run clean when chicken is pierced with a skewer. Remove from oven and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Serve with your favourite salad and lemon wedges.

Los asados de pollo nos gustan mucho y los preparo a menudo, eso sí, con poco picante, pero por lo demás tu receta es ideal. Besos
Beautiful chicken. I am sure they taste delicious.
Looks wonderful.
Wow! What a mouth watering dish. I love piri-piri chicken but I go for milder spiciness as can't take too spicy.
Hi Angie, the chicken looks amazing flavorful. Thanks for the recipe, Bernadette at http://newclassicrecipe.com.
Poor chicken! They are butchered at about the age of just three or four months. It looks a bit burnt because of all the spices.
The chicken looks so luscious, I just love the colour the chilli turns the chicken. It’s definitely too hot for me but I may try the recipe with a chilli that’s not as hot. It looks s so beautiful.

I've only had piri piri chicken once, and that was when visiting London years ago. I remember it being very good. And yours looks good too. Happy new week Angie. Hugs-Erika

Angie, Great looking chicken dish...with a bit of spicy pop, just the way we like it! Love the little tomato salad side and I'd add a little Jasmine rice too. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
This chicken has me drooling! It looks so delicious.
Hi Angie, the timing of this post! We were in Upstate New York and there was a food truck that served Peri-Peri chicken. I kept meaning to look it up. Now, I don't have too-I knew it would be delicious.

Wow this is a flavour explosion, loving this recipe
i can smell it from here angie :) Looks so delicious.
We both love really spicy food and regularly use chilli in our cooking, but thanks for the great tip about leaving meat to marinade for too long, I didn't realise that's what could happen. I would probably use chicken breasts for this dish as neither of us is keen on chicken on the bone.
WOW looks perfect! Chicken base dishes are always better. Thanks for the recipe, Greetings
The chicken looks very appetising and delicious!
Tried some Peri Peri nuts as snacks the other day, and they are SPICY!
