No Portuguese Piri Piri chicken recipe can be made without using charcoal to grill the chicken. Any other recipe that requires frying, braising or oven roasting is a fake. Heat a griddle pan to medium hot, brush the chicken with piri piri, and grill for a few minutes on each side, until just starting to char. Either way, serve hot with the extra sauce on the side. This means we got to try much more of the local food, which, perhaps predictably, means we fell in love with piri piri chicken, a celebration of the pepper (also known as an African bird's eye chili), grown all over southern Africa and Portugal, after which it is named, but blended into a punchy marinade that keeps the heat at bay.
