Piri-piri chicken and slaw
This fiery, aromatic Piri-piri chicken is marinated in a bold blend of crushed red chili, garlic, ginger, and warm spices, then grilled to smoky perfection. The accompanying slaw—crisp red onions and cabbage tossed in a tangy red wine vinegar dressing—cuts through the heat with bright, refreshing crunch. The result is a dish that balances heat, acidity, and herbal depth in every bite, offering a taste of Portugal’s coastal charms without leaving the kitchen. Worth the hour-long marinade for its layered, restaurant-worthy flavors.
