Peri Peri African Chicken
UKNO1CHEF
"This is a great spicy marinade recipe, a traditional African dish, great for BBQ. Nice with salad and fries, but I like adding it to a pita with salad and garlic Greek yogurt (3/4 cup Greek yogurt and 3 cloves of crushed garlic with finely chopped chives). Don't go on a date though, gives you wicked garlic breath!"

I've played around w/ this recipe a couple times now--using less paprika,added black pepper, added honey, etc. It has potential but needs something and the paprika is just too overpowering.

Delicious! I baked in the oven at 375 for 40 minutes as it was too chilly to grill outside. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I should have pounded flat, but didn't. :) I ran a lit...
