Peri Peri Chicken with Magnolia Chicken

Lots of spices and our favorite hasselback potatoes makes this Peri Peri Chicken dinner an absolute winner…

Peri Peri Chicken with Magnolia Chicken

I love Peri Peri Chicken but I haven’t tried making it at home. When there’s a Peri Peri Chicken craving, we usually go to our favorite restaurant and have it there.

But the past few days have been a lock-down here at home . There’s a tropical storm named Gorio and the weather is crazy. The rain won’t stop and strong winds are blowing. Katamad na katakot mamalengke.

Magnolia-Chicken

It’s a good thing friends from Magnolia Chicken sent five chickens last week. Five! Kahit di ako magpunta sa palengke, we have ulam and it’s a brand pa that we trust. Magnolia Chickens are free from hormones, steroids, and antibiotic residue AND raised in a stress-free environment. So it’s guaranteed fresh (parang tayo lang, mga mumshie, hihihi).

You can say the weather called for a warm, comforting meal that will make you feel like you’re getting warm hugs. Also, it begged me to finally give Peri Peri Chicken to try at home — so I did.

The house smelled of warm spices as the chicken roasted in the oven. My potato-loving Ykaie couldn’t wait for it and peeks through the oven door from time to time saying “Mommy, di pa ba luto?“. She was like that for about 45 minutes and when the timer sent out a ring, signaling the chicken was cooked — I could see a smile and the excitement light up her face.

You can tell by the leftovers (there were NONE!) my Peri Peri Chicken was a success! It was really flavorful, – the skin was sticky and crispy while the meat remained tender and juicy.It might look like it’s burnt but it wasn’t, those were some of the spices and herbs in the marinade. This goes into dinner rotation from now on — and or course, I have to try and make my own Peri Peri Sauce too.

Leaving you now with this video of our #PambansangManok with our three Ms. Universe winners – Pia Wurtzbach, Margie Moran, and Gloria Diaz. Lots of chicken dishes in there and I spy, there’s chicken inasal skewers — a good recipe to try next.
