Traditional Portuguese Piri Piri Sauce for Chicken image

I love churrasqueira chicken and have been looking for a recipe to make it myself. I found this on Breakfast Television Toronto's web site. They got the recipe from Roasty Chicken Churrasqueira which is in the town of Maple just north of Toronto. A friend told me that she's used this sauce for fish and shrimp, too. I've tried it on shrimp and it's wonderful. Simply marinate the shrimp for an hour and then drain the shrimp, discard the sauce and grill the shrimp on the barbie.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar (balsamic gives an excellent flavour)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili flakes

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
  • Brush on chicken before barbecuing (or baking in oven @ 350 °F for 1.25 hours WITHOUT opening the door during during entire cooking process.) It helps the flavour if you marinate the chicken for a few hours prior to cooking!
