This one is inspired from my travels to Portugal… a spicy, garlicky flavour bomb!!

Soooo easy to make…. just get the butcher to spatchcock the chicken for you, blitz the paste in the food processor, marinate and cook in the oven. I served my peri peri chicken with a coconut rice and char grilled veggies… finger licking good!!
