Description

This Portuguese-style piri-piri chicken is an explosion of flavour that will transport you directly to the coasts of Portugal. The key is in the marinade, a vibrant mixture of spices and lemon juice that permeates the chicken with an irresistible aroma. I prepare it by macerating the chicken for at least 24 hours, but if you have more time, even better! The result is a juicy, tender chicken with a spicy touch that makes it perfect for a festive meal or a special dinner. Ideal for lovers of intense flavours and authentic culinary experiences. Go ahead and try it!
