Home Made 'Nandos' Piri Piri Chicken, mmmmm!

So, it was my turn to cook dinner for everyone and I've decided to make Piri Piri Chicken, which is extremely easy and taste delicious. I got this recipe of SORTED; they have an online website and a youtube account where they teach you how to cook the chicken. It's very simple and they give great instructions.

INGREDIENTS:  

4 big cloves of garlic
olive oil (160ml)
red wine vinegar (60ml)
1 lemon, juiced
2 fresh chillies (more to less to taste)
tsp sea salt
sprig of thyme
1 small chicken (to cut for spatchcock)
handful of mixed salad leaves
chunky chips

INSTRUCTIONS:
peel the garlic cloves and stick into a food blender with the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, thyme, chillies and salt.
blend to a smooth marinade.
cut either side of the backbone with a pair of sharp shears and then remove the diamond-shaped breast bone from inside the cavity.
open the chicken up like a book and rub the marinade all over, inside and out. Leave in the fridge overnight if you can.
preheat oven to 180°C.
lay the spatchcock chicken on a baking tray and roast for about an hour until cooked right through and there are no signs of blood at the thickest parts of the bird. Check by cutting into a leg joint.
serve with plenty of fresh salad and some chunky chips.

Serves 2-4

The Process

Smelt so yummy!

Boiling New Potatos

 I left my Medium size chicken in the oven for 55 mintues instead. I took the chicken out once the 50 mintues has went by, I cut the chicken to the desired pieces then put it back in the oven for an extra 5 minutes to ensure it's well done.

Which gave us this results!

I altered the recipe a little... it's coleslaw and ready made crispy salad with cheese on top.
I didn't think the chicken had as much flavour as I thought it would but it taste pretty good; I will definitely cook this again and experiment with the flavours next time.
