Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken

Directions

1. To make the Portuguese Peri Peri Baked Chicken: Place all your marinade ingredients in food processor and blend everything together (bay leaf included). You can use anywhere from 5 to 10 whole bird’s eye chilies depending on how spicy you like it. OR use a pre-made peri peri sauce. Wash your chicken off in the bottom of the sink, and pat dry with a few paper towels. Season with seasoning salt from front to back. Then place your chicken pieces or whole in a large zip lock bag and add your grinded spices, pour 1/4 cup of water and shake to coat all the chicken. All the chicken to marinade anywhere for 1-24 hours. I prefer to use the marinade as it saves me time, so I will leave that up to you. This is my favorite marinade!
