About Peri peri charcoal-grilled chicken

Peri Peri Charcoal-Grilled Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Southern African and Portuguese cuisine. This popular recipe highlights fresh chicken marinated in a vibrant blend of peri peri chili peppers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and aromatic spices before being expertly grilled over charcoal to achieve a smoky, tender finish. Rich in protein, the chicken provides essential nutrients, while the marinade delivers depth without excessive fat when prepared with healthy oils. Grilling minimizes added fats compared to frying, making it a leaner option. However, sodium levels can be elevated depending on marinade recipes, so moderation is key. Its bold spice profile also introduces capsaicin, which may support metabolism. Pair this dish with fresh vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal that highlights both flavor and nutrition.
