Pirri-Pirri Chicken image

The lemon squeezed over the chicken gives this dish a nice flavour. Any chicken that is still on the bone can be used for this recipe. Pirri-pirri is also great for barbecuing prawns. If you want a milder heat in your Pirri-pirri, deseed the chillies. This recipe was acquired from a neighbor at one of our annual neighbor Christmas BBQ get togethers. Pirri-pirri always adds a little bite to a Barbie night.
