The admin girls have been begging me to do a peri peri chicken for years now, and the suggestion finally made itself to the top of my list! I am so glad it did… I truly believe this is one of the best tasting recipes I have ever developed. It is perfect for those who are wanting to lose a little holiday season weight: its low carb, gluten free, preservative free, dairy free – and with a hint of chilli it’ll get your metabolism working! We served it with some fresh lemon and a summer salad but it would also be amazing paired with my chipotle chips and aioli. I hope everyone takes the time to marinate it for at least 8 hours, the flavour develops significantly ! Love Nik xx
