Here you go....

FRANGO PIRI-PIRI
(Piri-Piri Chicken)
This dish originates from Africa but was adopted by the Portuguese and is now one of their main dishes served in restaurants, caf?s, and bars. It is a simple but tasty dish, and is a fond memory for me. The dish is usually served with crisp hot french fries, but you could serve boiled new potatoes if you prefer. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.

1 medium sized chicken, washed
1 cup Molho de Piri-Piri (see recipe)
Pinch of ground piri-piri chillis (or substitute piquin or Thai)
Pinch of oregano (fresh or dried)
Romaine lettuce
1 medium red onion, sliced and separated into rings
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup Molho de Piri-Piri (see recipe)
1 lemon, sliced for garnish

Place the chicken on a cutting board and split it lengthways at the breastbone (but not in two halves) so that it will lie flat. Then flatten it as much as possible with a mallet. Place the chicken in a shallow glass pan and pour the Molho over it. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Remove the chicken and sprinkle over it some of the ground piri-piri and oregano. Grill the chicken over coals or gas until done. (It can also be baked in the glass pan with the marinade.)
Chop the chicken coarsely.
Arrange the lettuce on four plates, add the onion rings and tomatoes, and top with the chicken. Serve garnished with lemon slices and a small bowl of the Molho as a dressing.
Yield: 4 servings
Heat Scale: Medium

Molho de Piri Piri Recipe

I also have fond memories of this dish. Eaten this many times on the Algarve. My parents used to have a place in Carvoeiro and there used to be a restaurant called Chicken George and it served the best Frango Piri Piri anywhere on the Algarve.
