This was posted in response to a request. I'm going to make it for my grandson who is part portuguese - a "half chop"!! The timing doesn't include overnight marinating.

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.

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.
