It just takes some drumsticks, cajun seasoning, and butter.
Piri Piri Chicken
Today's recipe is brought into this world with many thanks to fountain sauces, without whom these gloriously sticky chicken drumsticks with the most incredible chinese plum.
Recipe Summary Piri Piri Chicken
Chicken is marinated in a spicy piri piri pepper sauce, then grilled for this simple but flavorful African-inspired recipe. I like to serve this with a cool yogurt sauce and fonio pilaf.Ingredients | Recipes For Chicken Drumsticks
10 African bird's eye chile peppers
1 bunch cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
1 chicken breast, cut in half
2 chicken leg quarters with skin
Directions
Use rubber gloves to mince the chiles and place into a mixing bowl. Add cilantro, garlic, vegetable oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix piri piri sauce well.
Place chicken breasts and legs into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in piri piri sauce, seal the bag, and shake gently to completely cover chicken. Put the bag in the refrigerator to marinate at least 4 hours.
Remove bag from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow chicken to come to room temperature.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken from the bag; discard bag and cilantro. Cook chicken on the preheated grill, rotating as necessary to cook evenly, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
