Ingredients
- 1 chicken Whole
- 50 ml oil
- 1 onions Red
- 6 garlic Cloves
- 8 Birds Eye Chillies
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar Brown
- 1 tbsp vinegar White
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- thyme Handful
Instructions
- First step is to spatchcock the chicken. Turn the chicken breast side down to remove the backbone. Cut either side of the backbone with a sharp pair of scissors or a knife.
- Remove the backbone, then turn the chicken over and push down until you hear a crack.
- Set the chicken aside and then mix all the ingredients into a blender to form the marinade.
- Add half of the marinade and rub the mixture into the chicken on both sides – it is very important that the marinade is spread everywhere to ensure maximum flavour then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, for best results try to leave it for 24 hours.
- Place the marinated chicken onto a roasting tray lined with foil.
- Drizzle the marinated chicken with oil.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) gas mark 4 for 45 minutes – this will depend on the exact size of chicken that is used, and it is important that you adjust the cooking time as necessary,
- Baste the chicken with the juices.
- Allow the peri peri chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- You can serve this with a side of Nando’s spicy rice or Nando’s peri chips and enjoy!
