About Peri chicken

Peri Chicken is a flavorful dish originating from Portuguese and African cuisines, celebrated for its vibrant spices and fiery heat. The key ingredient is Peri-Peri sauce, made from African bird's eye chili, garlic, lemon, vinegar, and aromatic spices, giving the chicken a tangy, smoky flavor. Typically grilled or roasted, Peri Chicken is high in protein and pairs well with nutrient-rich sides like salads or grilled vegetables. Being marinated and cooked without heavy breading, it offers a leaner alternative to fried options. However, its spiciness may not suit sensitive stomachs, and the sodium content in pre-made sauces can be high. Opting for homemade Peri-Peri sauce allows greater control over ingredients for a healthier dish. Perfect for those seeking a zesty, protein-packed meal steeped in global culinary tradition, Peri Chicken adds flair to any plate while delivering substantial energy and nutrients.
