What's up, foodtubers? We're gonna cook a delicious dish today!
We're gonna do grill and roasted piri piri chicken.
With crispi sweet potato fries,
and two salsas!
And it's gonna be very exciting because we've got a guest, yeah!
We got FunForLouis! Hey!
I travel the worlds, I, like, document my travels daily.
During the recipe,
Louis is gonna filming bits and pieces for his channel,
so you're gonna get to see my version of the recipe,
and his version of the recipe.
You are a lover of Nando's Chicken.
I love Nando's Chicken.
You love a Piri Piri sauce... now you can have your own Nando's in your own front room.
So we have two halves of chicken.
We have a fairly old fashioned herb here. This is thyme.
So I'm gonna put a pinch of salt into the thyme. If you can pound that up for me, bro?
All right. Next stage, we're doing the thyme.
This is the herb that we're getting ready for the marinade.
This is gonna be quite interesing. We've got a hole crew here. Like, we've got, eh, we've got
one, two, three cameras. Dude, what if yours looks better than mine?
You're gonna be responsible for all these people getting fired.
Louis done a great job of whacking that up.
Then, smoked paprika.
Just pour that in. A little oil. Just about two tablespoons.
And I'm just gonna add a little tad of vinegar.
I want you to massage these into the chicken.
All right. I'd like to see you flopping doing this, brother. So whack 'em in the tray, bro. All right.
Now, we would ideally marinate that for sixteen hours. I have one I made earlier,
which is this one.
So, this is been preheating. I'm never gonna put oil in here. Ever.
I'm gonna go straight in with the chicken.
I'm gonna get you to season that from a high, brother.
The sea salt over there. So, you see? Beautiful.
Then, we're gonna go skin-side down into the griddle pan.
Five/ten minutes on here.
So, over here we've got some sweet potato chips.
So I'm gonna heat it up with a little salt and pepper, a little oil, and I'm gonna use a little bit of smoked paprika, just to give it some flavour.
All right, we're doing some weet potato fries. Look at the way he shakes that up
These go in the oven at the same time as our chicken.
A good amount, flat.
On the sweet potato fries, if you wanna make 'em crunchy, we're gonna take semolina.
So, this is gonna go super crispy. Shake it around.
So this grill will go in the oven for about 1/2 an hour, guys. 180ºC. 350ºF. The sweet potato fries, put 'em on the bottom.
And they'll get baked on the top and get a little bit crispy on the the bottom. Cool. And that's it. Sweet.
And now it's time for salsa. So I've got two salsas, because this man loves chili.
We just go and buy some jalapeños.
It's in vinegar, okay? You know the drill, you've tasted it a million times. Yeah.
Put it into a liquidizer.
Just go over and get some fresh love with some coriander. Just a little bunch.
And dunk it in.
Okay.
Great flavour. That was so easy.
Just do a litte drizzle of oil in there.
Okay. Here's the kind of the "piri piri vibe".
Some badass red red and green chilis, I've got some red onions... and I just charred this up.
I've got garlic in their skins. We've got tomatoes on the vine.
So Louis, if you can chunk all of that stuff in here.
I'll take the chilis over here. You like it hot, yeah? Yeah. Okay.
So you do all that stuff in there. All right. Blending these roasted vegetables.
I'm learning so much today.
All I wanna do in here is add a little oil. Just a tablespoon. That goes in.
Vinegar's really important. A nice pinch of salt.
I've just put a bit of lemon juice. I'm gonna put some coriander. All right.
This should be a really lovely expression of piri piri.
Let's have a little look. Listen to the sound. Now, that's the sound of pleasure.
So there we go.
We're excited about that.
So we got our cheat salsa here and then we've got our grilled piri piri there.
So I'm gonna put some sauce there. All right.
So now we're gonna hack it up.
You will take the breast like that.
Are you hungry, Louis? I'm hungry.
That semolina makes it super crunchy.
You can just chop up some coriander.
Lime. You can just squeeze that over the top. Yeah. Throw some fresh chilis on there.
I'm gonna build up Louis a little plate.
We have an incredible winter slaw here.
Salsa #1. Beautiful flavour, still delicious.
I'm gonna give you half a thigh 'cause I like thigh too. Okay.
Right, dude. How does it compare to your usual?
That is amazing.
Cheers. Cheers, man.
