Chicken piri-piri

Two recipes in one. An easy way and an even easier way to cook the South African Chicken Piri-Piri.

Barbecue Recipe - Chicken Piri Piri
Preparing 5 mins, Marinating 2hrs, Cooking 30 mins - Serves 4

Ingredients

4 x 225 g (8 oz) chicken portions
4 tbs olive oil
2 sweetcorn cobs
3 tbs Schwartz Easy Chopped Coriander
1 tsp Schwartz Easy Chopped Garlic
2 tsp Schwartz Piri Piri Chicken Grill & Sizzle Seasoning
2 tbs lemon juice
sea salt and black pepper

Alternatively you can make a piri-piri marinade with the following ingredients:

150 ml (1/4 pint) olive oil
2 tbs lemon juice
3 Schwartz Piri Piri Chicken Grill & Sizzle Seasoning
8 chicken drumsticks, skinned


Method

Make deep cuts into each chicken portion. Brush 1 tbs oil over the chicken and grill for 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.

Meanwhile, boil the sweetcorn in lightly salted water for 15 minutes. Brush with a little extra oil. Grill for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.

To make the Coriander dressing blend together the Chopped Coriander and Chopped Garlic with the remaining oil. Season to taste and spoon into a bowl.

Sprinkle the Piri Piri Seasoning over the cooked chicken, pour over the lemon juice and grill for a further 2 minutes.

Serve the chicken with the sweetcorn and a drizzle of the Coriander dressing. Garnish with grilled lemon wedges.

Makes 4 servings.

 

If you are using the alternate marinade recipe:

Place the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Score the chicken using a sharp knife, pour over the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Cook the chicken pieces on the grill for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with any remaining marinade throughout the cooking.

Serve hot with a mixed salad or fresh vegetables.
