Peri-Peri Chicken Recipe

 

Peri-Peri Chicken

Got a craving for something spicy but want to feed a hungry family without breaking the bank? You can literally throw this sauce together in 15 minutes, and then it's spicy, lean goodness all the way! Feel free to adjust the number of chillies depending on the spice tolerance of your guests / family. I generally just tell mine to harden up - spice is life, right?
