Frango Piri-Piri (Chicken Peri-Peri), Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa

Pieces of chicken are marinated in a chili pepper marinade and then roasted or grilled. Known as the African devil, the red piri-piri, a type of bird-eye pepper, serves as the base kick in the chicken’s spicy marinade. Piri-piri is regularly used in meat marinades throughout Africa, especially in the Portuguese-speaking countries of Angola, Congo, and Mozambique. Other variations of the pepper’s name include Peri-peri or peli-peli.
