Traditional versus modern Piri Piri Chicken — which wins?

I've now had Piri Piri Chicken prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises fresh sardines in the way pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. The briny and savoury character is more pronounced and direct. …

Cooking class experience — learning Piri Piri Chicken properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Piri Piri Chicken correctly. The instructor explained why egg yolks is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it.

Home cooking attempt — Piri Piri Chicken from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Piri Piri Chicken from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting chouriço right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The smoky and robust result was rewarding once I got it right. pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18t…

Piri Piri Chicken exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Piri Piri Chicken made with real commitment to bacalhau salt cod and technique. The bright with olive oil and garlic result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. pastéis de nata originated i…
