Whenever I ready , see & listen to the word " Peri Peri" , I remember Nando's- the South African brand which is snonymous to Peri Peri .... because it is the essential ingredients in Nando's menu ....with the different level of heat of the Peri Peri- Nando's use Peri Peri and Peri Peri sauce in almost everything they make I suppose, I had my first taste of Peri Peri Chicken and heard of Peri Peri in Nando's restaurant the first time some few years back ....I was amused by the name Peri Peri / Peli Peli/ Pili Pili which basically means pepper and is the name of an African Birds Eye chilli.
In the recipe I have used Nando's Peri Peri sauce -medium one, those who really love the Chilli heat can add the hot or extra extra hot ones.
The Peri Peri sauce goes so well with grilled chicken wings too.
