Did you know that Peri-peri is a type of chili from Africa that's related to the malagueta pepper? Also called Piri-Piri or Pili-Pili, these flavor bombs were originally produced by Portuguese explorers in Portugal's former Southern African territories and then spread to other Portuguese domains, making this prized ingredient a star when it comes to grilled meats such as chicken which dates back to the 16th century.
Like in most countries, The Philippines love their chicken regardless of preparation /cooking technique. At home, what's usually whipped up are family-style dishes like Chicken Adobo, Afritada, or Chicken Pastel. On more extravagant days, there's Fried Chicken or Inihaw na Manok with all the healthy sides like grilled eggplant, tomatoes, and onions.
But let's face it, there are times when we just get tired of all the cooking and the massive cleanups right after. Days when we just want to lay back and chill. Moments when all we gotta do is to pick up our smartphones and head over to our favorite food delivery apps to order something quick and convenient.
Fried chicken will ALWAYS be on our list, yes, but maybe you'd prefer something grilled. Inasal may be the first thing to come to your mind, but wait. Maybe you'd opt for something more exotic, flavorful, and new instead? Enter Peri-peri Charcoal Chicken and Sauce Bar.
Peri-Peri Chicken is a Portuguese dish that's made with young chicken that's cut into a butterfly and marinated in, you guessed it: Peri-peri chili, herbs, and other aromatics are combined to give the meat a lip-smacking burst of flavor before it gets cooked using charcoal to give it that intense smoky flavor.
Visit Portugal and you'll mostly encounter shops dedicated to serving only this usiny their own version of the dish, which may be served with lots of rice and an array of sauces or simply chicken oil, just like how we serve Inasal, which come to think of it, may actually be influenced by the Portuguese since Bacolod is where a lot of Spanish families have settled during the early colonial era.
In the Philippines, Peri-peri Charcoal Chicken and Sauce Bar continue to stick on a few important principles of making the iconic Portuguese dish but has been adjusted perfectly for the Filipino palate.
