Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and process to a smooth paste. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow flavours to develop.
- Prior to cooking, I recommend seasoning lightly with additional kosher salt.
- Suggested cooking method: Coat chicken pieces in the marinade until they are completely coated. Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- For oven cooking, it's important that the chicken pieces be arranged with no space between them. Using a dish that is too large will cause the sauce to burn off when cooking.
- Another authentic cooking method is to "butterfly" a whole chicken, which is to split a cleaned whole chicken down the center enough to allow it to lie flat, but without cutting it into two pieces. Then flatten it by hitting it with a mallet or sturdy bottle and coating the chicken with Peri Peri and marinating overnight before grilling.
PILI-PILI (PERI-PERI) MARINADE
A very hot marinade I found on the Congo Cookbook website. I eat a variety of foods so I love spices but also some heat and this is delicious. Play with the ingredients to tame, I tweaked the recipe a bit. It's really quick to make, everything in the blender! Perfect on shrimp (for the BBQ), but good for chicken and pork. (I think it makes around 1/2 to 1 cup)

Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to make the peri-peri marinade. This will help to create a smooth and flavorful marinade that will evenly coat the chicken.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the ingredients for the marinade by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely so that they will blend well with the other ingredients.
- Taste the marinade before you use it. You may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking. For example, if you like spicy food, you can add more chili peppers to the marinade.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and flavor it.
- When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. This will help the chicken to brown evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces.
- Serve the peri-peri chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
Conclusion:
Peri-peri chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is easy to make at home. With the right ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
