Blackened Peri Peri Chicken

Recommended Posts

Here's tonight's cook, quite high on my favourite meals. Blackened peri peri spiced chicken thighs with roasted red pepper and asparagus and a paprika yoghurt sauce. 

Method:

Chicken thighs - bone in or out
Bit of olive oil
Splash of lime juice
Light salt and heavy pepper
Good peri peri coating - like a rub

Leave about an hour minimum. 

Get the grill hot, 300C ish. 

Chicken on, capsicum on. Grill the capsicum until black on the outside, peel and serve straight. 

Grill the chicken until blackened to taste.  

Asparagus in the oven at 230C (pre heat - it's important) with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake until bright green and crunchy. Wait about 5 minutes, shake, and about another 5 mins. 

Yoghurt sauce, use good Greek yoghurt, full fat, add and mix:

Tspn smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Chilli powder or flakes to your threshold
Dijon mustard
Full fat mayo

Add whatever you like, aioli, dill, coriander. Serously whatever. 

Coriander and lime wedges to serve. 

Alternatively, jasmine rice on the side with coriander, peri peri chicken mixed in with roasted capsicum, quarter limes and coriander. 

Really easy, and delicious.

Starting to see a trend here, donjohnson - always seems to be a Steinlager in the cooking pictures! Excellent! Cheers, mate!  :occasion5:

 

Love me some spicy chicken - blackened/cajun, Moroccan berbere, Asian, I'm all over it. Think I've got a bottle of Peri Peri hot sauce in the pantry.  :chin:
