Peri Peri Chicken
Ingredients:
For the Peri Peri Sauce:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves (cilantro)
- 2 Thai chilies
- 2 dried chilies
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp tomato paste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tbsp for roasting
For the Chicken:
- 3 quarter pieces of chicken (leg quarters preferred)
- Salt to taste (additional, if needed)
Instructions:
Prepare Vegetables for Sauce:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Take the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
- Place the vegetables in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly.
Make Peri Peri Sauce:
- To the roasted vegetables, add coriander leaves, Thai chilies, dried chilies, paprika, oregano, salt, smoked paprika, tomato paste, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Blend all the ingredients into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
Marinate Chicken:
- Take the chicken quarters and make sure they are clean and pat dry.
- Apply the Peri Peri sauce paste well over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are coated thoroughly.
- Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator overnight or at least for 2 hours for the flavors to penetrate.
Cook Chicken:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) again.
- Place the marinated chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through and applying extra marinade if desired. The chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and it's nicely browned.
Prepare Fries:
While the chicken is cooking, prepare fries according to package instructions or make homemade fries and air fry until golden and crispy.
Serve:
Serve the Peri Peri chicken hot with a side of crispy fries.
Offer additional Peri Peri sauce as a dip.
Adjust the spice level and salt of the sauce to your taste before serving.
Enjoy your homemade Peri Peri Chicken with a spicy kick and air-fried fries for a complete meal!
