🇵🇹 Portugal recipe
Piri Piri Chicken
Portugal's most famous contribution to global grilling culture, frango com piri piri features a whole chicken that is spatchcocked, bathed in a fiery marinade of piri piri chillies, garlic, lemon, and olive oil, then grilled over hot coals until the skin is charred and crackling and the meat is succulent and deeply spiced. The piri piri pepper, brought to Portugal from its African colonies, gives this dish its signature heat.
