Level:

INGREDIENTS

For the Peri Peri Chicken:

  • 500g boneless chicken thighs or breasts

  • 1/2 cup Chooza's peri peri sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling or pan-frying)

For the Jarv Rice:

  • 1 cup basmati rice

  • 2 cups water or chicken stock

  • 1/4 cup Chooza's peri peri sauce

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro or parsley

PREPARATION

Steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

  • Place chicken in a bowl or ziplock bag. Add the peri peri sauce and coat the chicken evenly.

  • Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

2. Cook the Chicken:

  • For BBQ: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C/165°F).

  • For Pan-Frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.

3. Prepare the Peri Peri Rice:

  • Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  • In a saucepan, combine the rice, water or chicken stock, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  • Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the peri peri sauce.

4. Plate and Serve:

  • Arrange the grilled peri peri chicken on a plate alongside the peri peri rice.

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
