This spicy Portuguese-inspired chilli sauce belongs in a bottle. Coat your chicken wings for a quick meal or leave to marinate for a more intense flavour.

For the perfect accompaniment, pair with these baked fries with oregano and feta, which are also great for sharing.

Ingredients

PERI-PERI CHICKEN

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 long red chilli, chopped

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • 1kg chicken wingettes

OREGANO and feta FRIES

  • 800g potatoes, cut into thick chips

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 50g feta, to serve

  • ¼ cup oregano leaves, chopped

  • mixed salad leaves, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). Combine paprika, garlic, chilli, honey and half the lemon juice in a small blender. Season with salt and blend until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Place the wingettes in a large bowl. Add the blended peri-peri sauce and toss to combine. Transfer to a large, lightly greased tray.

  3. Step 3

    Place potatoes on a separate tray. Toss with olive oil, drizzle with remaining lemon juice, and toss again to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Place both trays in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is sticky and caramelised, and the potatoes are golden.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and top with crumbled feta and oregano. Serve the wings with the chips and salad on the side.
