Piri Piri Chicken Breast instructions

Blitz the vinegar and the rest of the ingredients then pour into a bowl and add scoured chicken fillets and mix well. Marinade in fridge for at least 30 mins but preferably overnight..
2. Heat pan and add olive oil and pan fry chicken on high heat for 1-2 mins each side. Then put on parchment paper on baking tray and into oven for 25-30 mins..
3. I just had salad and coleslaw but you could have spicy nandos-like rice, Piri Piri chips etc..

Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. I grew up eating and cooking the Piri-Piri chicken. As most who read the reviews advised, never get rid of the remaining marinade. Also I'm going to pound out my chicken breasts or slice them into strips so the sauce really gets appreciated. Definitely a keeper for me and I can't wait to cook it for my fiance.
