2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic - crushed or grated

2 tablespoons olive oil
Peri-Peri Sauce
2 chilies diced (choose what chili you want for how hot you want)
1 clove garlic
1 lemon juiced
125ml olive oil
½ cup chicken stock (put in the instant pot bowl)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon castor sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Method
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Cut some slices in the chicken flesh to help the marinade penetrate better
- Add the chicken pieces and mix and coat the marinade all over- then set aside and leave for an hour in the fridge
Peri-Peri Sauce Method
- Make the Peri Peri sauce by combining all the ingredients except the oregano to a paste in a food processor. Stir in the oregano at the end.(if you have fresh oregano you can put it in the food processor)
- If the sauce is too thick thin it down with a little more olive oil
Instant pot
- Put the chicken stock in the instant pot bowl and mix a little of the peri-peri sauce in to add to flavor.
- Then add the chicken and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes and 10 minutes of natural pressure release
- Take out the chicken and place in a grilling tray - and set your oven to grill. With a brush put some per-peri sauce all over the chicken
- Then put under the grill for approximately 5 mins, but watch closely so it does not burn.
- After they are nicely browned they are ready to serve.
- We served with some fries- and had the oven on while we were preparing the peri-peri chicken.
