My sister bought me some Nando’s Piri Piri BBQ Sauce recently and I had some Patatas Bravas Sauce I’d bought from Tesco which needed to be used, so Alice (my niece and fellow foodie) and I thought we’d combine the two to make “Alice’s Piri Piri BBQ Chicken and Patatas Bravas”. As you probably noticed I’ve not made any of the sauces for this dish, it’s using sauces out of a bottle – cheating, maybe, quick and easy yes.
The most labour intensive part of this recipe is the peeling of the potatoes and the massaging of the chicken breasts…. I know that sounds dodgy but trust me, it works. Put them in a bag, pour over the marinade and rub it in, place in the fridge and allow to marinade for 24 hours. Once marinade cook in the oven for approx 35 – 40 minutes. Remember chicken should not be served raw or undercooked, if you have any doubts on cooking chicken check these websites http://www.food.gov.uk/ or http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/homehygiene/Pages/Foodhygiene.aspx
The Nando’s website recommends half a bottle of the marinade per 500g of meet…. I think Alice and I used a bit much really but in saying that it all tasted good lol 🙂 . As you know I love potatoes lol so I feel it is important to make sure the potatoes are golden brown, when they are looking good add the sauce to the pan and stir so the potatoes take the sauce. Remember though not to stir too much as you don’t want to crush the potatoes.
As you can see below, Alice and I had it just as it was but you could serve it with a green salad or a cucumber and mint raita like the one I made for my Dinner Party.

was just in South Africa and enjoyed Piri Piri on everything…a great sauce…
That sounds like fun, I really enjoyed this one, not sure how authentic the sauce was but it was enjoyable. What other foods did you enjoy out there 🙂
Impala steaks, baked puddings with toffee and custard, Boerewors (their spiced fresh sausage),lots of lamb, ostrich, lots of seafood (crayfish, rock lobsters, langoustine, prawns, mussels),everything came with Piri Piri, and there were green versions too..and lemon butter sauce..
Can I add some Mediterranean herbs in here? Plz suggest…
Hi Ema,
thanks for getting in touch. If you are using fresh herbs I’d add them to a salad with some tomato and cucumber, similar to the one in http://wheeliegoodmeals.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/grahams-caramelised-red-onion-and-goats-cheese-tart. You could however, sprinkle dried herbs onto the potatoes while they are cooking and then add the Patatas Bravas sauce. If you want to use fresh herbs in the dish I’d chop them finely and sprinkle over the potatoes at the end of their cooking. Hope This Helps Richard 🙂
I love any Caramelized Onions recipe, I’ll try this for sure…
Hey Richard, will be adding herbs to salad only 🙂
Thanks Emma, that sounds great, send in a picture – it’s great to know that people are using the blog and my recipes 😀
Yeah, talent is always appreciated 🙂
