Friends:
PeriPeri Receipe - No4, Mk1
1 Full chicken - Keep skin on!!.
1. Cut it up into pieces and score it deep e.g. 1 or 2 cut into thigh
2. In a pot, put in cold water; add 2 full tablespoons of salt; 1 tablespoon of garlic powder; 1 teaspoon of ginger powder; 1 large bay leaf. <-- this entire step is to allow it to moisten the chicken; ginger powder - i had a fried chicken in fordsburg - owner told me this secret. So i tried it in my receipe - worked even better.
3. Put cut up peices into water and leave for 2-3 hours.
4. Now prepare marinade in seperate small bowl.
5. Ingredients for marinade:
- 3/4 cup of white vinegar or red vinegar
- 1/4 cup malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar (optional - you can; if not then make prior white/red vinegar to one cup).
- 2 tablespoons of garlic paste
- 1/2 lemon squeezed.
- 2 tablespoons of periperi powder; if not available - hot cayenne pepper will work
- 2 tablespoons of paprika powder - this gives it smoky taste
- 1 tablespoon of coriander powder.
- 1 teaspoon of oregano powder.
- 3 tablespoons of regular veggie oil
- 2 tablespoons of home made peri-peri sauce (optional for additional zing).
Mix it well and keep it on the side.
6. After 2-3 hrs; drain water from the chicken.
7. Add the marinate; mix well and leave for another 2 hrs.
On charcoal fire; put this on. Dont throw away the marinade; at every turn, use a brush to baste the marinade; This keeps the flavours more engrained and prevents burning of the skin.
That is all friends.
Remember No 4 Mk1.
