PERI PERI AFRICAN CHICKEN
This is a great spicy marinade recipe, a traditional African dish, great for BBQ. Nice with salad and fries, but I like adding it to a pita with salad and garlic Greek yogurt (3/4 cup Greek yogurt and 3 cloves of crushed garlic with finely chopped chives). Don't go on a date though, gives you wicked garlic breath!

Piri-piri chicken is a spicy dish with roots in both Africa and Portugal. The dish was created in Angola and Mozambique when Portuguese settlers arrived with chile peppers (known as piri-piri in Swahili). Timing note: The chicken needs to marinate for at least four hours before being grilled.

- For chicken:
- Finely chop cilantro, ginger, shallot, and garlic in processor. Add piri-piri sauce, 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, coarse salt, and pepper; process marinade to blend.

Open chicken like book; place skin side down in single layer in dish. Pour remaining marinade over. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
- If you don't have piri piri peppers, you can substitute another type of hot pepper, such as cayenne or habanero. Just be sure to adjust the amount to taste.
- If you want the chicken to be extra juicy, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates before cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat, turning it frequently, until it is cooked through. This should take about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken kabobs immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce.
