The spiciness of peri-peri sauce can be adjusted by the amount of chilies, or even using less spicy kind of chilies. The best way to cook the Peri-Peri Chicken is to GRILL them. For not having an out door grill in my high rise cosmopolitan kitchen, I baked it in the oven instead. It came out great but, of course, the smoky grilled flavor would have been even better. If you have a BBQ grill, use it!
The sauce can be made in less than 5 minutes, and all you need to do is to marinade chicken ahead of time. You will love this chicken IF you can bear the heat!
Directions
In a blender combine everything except the chicken and the extra salt, blend until very smooth.
Score chicken legs with a knife a few times.
Pour 1/3 cup of the sauce over chicken and toss well. I sprinkle a few dashes of extra salt on top of chicken. Marinade the chicken at least 1 hour or overnight.
Grill your chicken or bake.
To bake, preheat the oven to 425ºF
Place chicken on a baking pan lined with foil, spray with oil,and place chicken. Bake for 15 minutes, turn over, baste with extra sauce, and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked and browned.
Serve with extra sauce on the side.
