Before you serve
Cooking notes & good-to-know answers.
Small details for confident timing, useful swaps, and safer leftovers.
Cooking notes
Check the chicken is cooked through at the thickest part, near the bone.
Use a mild or hot peri-peri sauce to suit your table.
Spread everything in one layer so it roasts instead of steaming.
Good to know
That depends on the sauce. Mild, medium and hot sauces are all widely sold, so choose the one your family likes.
Yes, but roast them for about 25 minutes and add them after the potatoes have had 15 minutes.
A green salad, garlic bread or rice all work well.
About this recipe
Peri-peri chicken is a South African favourite with Portuguese and Mozambican roots. This tray bake roasts the chicken over baby potatoes and peppers so the juices flavour the vegetables, with only one tray to wash.
