Notes
Notes:
For a more authentic Peri-Peri chicken experience, you can use fresh Peri-Peri peppers instead of the sauce. Simply chop 2-3 peppers and add them to the marinade along with the other ingredients. Also, if you prefer, you can remove the skin from the chicken thighs to reduce the calorie count per serving. and impress your guests with bold flavors. The combination of spicy and tangy marinade with juicy and crispy chicken is simply irresistible. So, give it a try and enjoy the taste of Portugal in your own kitchen!
