PIRI PIRI CHICKEN
Chicken is marinated in a spicy piri piri pepper sauce, then grilled for this simple but flavorful African-inspired recipe. I like to serve this with a cool yogurt sauce and fonio pilaf.

Steps:
- Use rubber gloves to mince the chiles and place into a mixing bowl. Add cilantro, garlic, vegetable oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix piri piri sauce well.
- Place chicken breasts and legs into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in piri piri sauce, seal the bag, and shake gently to completely cover chicken. Put the bag in the refrigerator to marinate at least 4 hours.
- Remove bag from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow chicken to come to room temperature.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken from the bag; discard bag and cilantro. Cook chicken on the preheated grill, rotating as necessary to cook evenly, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 25 minutes.

PERI PERI AFRICAN CHICKEN
This is a great spicy marinade recipe, a traditional African dish, great for BBQ. Nice with salad and fries, but I like adding it to a pita with salad and garlic Greek yogurt (3/4 cup Greek yogurt and 3 cloves of crushed garlic with finely chopped chives). Don't go on a date though, gives you wicked garlic breath!

PIRI PIRI SAUCE (PORTUGAL, ALGARVE) HOMEMADE
Recipezaar already has 11 recipes for piri piri (sauce, dressing, oil, spice) and 10 recipes using it, so why add another? First, piri piri is in the cuisines of Africa, Portugal, South America and the Caribbean, so there are variations to the ingredients, heat and form. Second, all of the versions currently posted are "quick", i.e., whether the ingredients are raw or cooked, you can prepare them and use them the same day -- this version is the more authentic marinated and pickled version (Warning: from the time you start to make this until the time you can use it is 5 weeks!! I didn't count this in the prep time). Finally, I've had this version, love the taste and know how reliable the recipe source is. With credit to Elisabeth Luard's "The Food of Spain and Portugal: A Regional Celebration", here is piri piri as made in the Algarve ... Recipe provided for Zaar World Tour 5 (2009).

Steps:
- For chiles, the authentic variety is malagueta, but I've used jalopeno or habanero.
- Pack the chiles and peppers into a sterilized jar with the salt.
- Seal and leave for 4 weeks.
- After 4 weeks, put in a food processor, add the vinegar and blend.
- Put in a bottle, keep in a cool, dark place and let the flavors meld for a week.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
- Marinate the chicken: The marinade helps to flavor and tenderize the chicken. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and give it a nice char.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for chicken kabobs include rice, vegetables, and grilled fruit.
Conclusion:
African Piri Piri Kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is flavorful and tender, and the piri piri sauce is spicy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
