Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon Angostura bitters
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, to taste
1 dried hot red chili pepper
1 fresh chili pepper (such as jalapeno)
2 cloves garlic
2 lbs whole chicken breasts, with skin and bone

Steps:

  • Combine the lime juice, vinegar, paprika, bitters and hot pepper sauce in a glass baking dish.
  • Wearing kitchen gloves, split the dried chili with a sharp paring knife and remove the seeds.
  • Do the same with the jalapeno pepper.
  • Mash the peppers with the garlic into a smooth paste using a mortar or an electric spice grinder.
  • Add the paste to the lime mixture in the baking dish and combine.
  • Toss the chicken pieces and swish them in the marinade until they are completely coated.
  • Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or broil until cooked through and burnished, about 20 minutes on each side.
  • Baste frequently with the marinade.
  • If the chicken looks like it is beginning to burn, move it farther away from the heat source.
  • Serve hot with chilled orange sections and plenty of napkins.

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.

Time 5h5m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 African bird's eye chile peppers
1 bunch cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
1 chicken breast, cut in half
2 chicken leg quarters with skin

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.
