PIRI PIRI means pepper pepper in Portuguese.
I roasted this Whole chicken using my homemade piri piri sauce. Reduce peppers if you can't stand too much of it because that's what the sauce is about😊
Anyways along the line, the Nigerian in me added two tablespoons of yaji mix😁
You can add twist to your recipe , so long there are peppers...
