Little by little...
I had heard about a Portuguese dish called Piri piri, a spicy roast chicken, so when I was shopping for Sichuan peppercorns and saw the spice mix for it, I got some. It's so fragrant, it made my whole mailbox smell good!
I didn't feel like firing up the grill last night, so I sprinkled some of the mix on a chicken thigh, and let it dry-marinate for about an hour, then pan fried it in butter. When it was cooked through, I added about 1/3 cup of coconut milk, and let it reduce. It was SO good!
Have a great Sunday, buddies!

Is it something rude, April? Maybe many Portuguese words are rude in Greek. Think about the city in Malaysia previously a Portuguese colony - Malacca ...

Sounds like a great sauce. I looked up a Piri piri sauce recipe. Very Keto friendly! Thanks

Next time try it with a fresh coconut. So worth it! The coconut probably tamed the spice mix, too. I use it in many curries, both Thai and Indian, which adore peppers.

Thanks for the giggles and comments, friends! :D I like a little spice (heat) in my food, but I still want to be able to taste it, too. I dumped quite a bit on the chicken before I tasted it, and let it stay on for the full hour. But I did taste the mix before I cooked the chicken, and rinsed some of it off when I realized how hot it was. After cooking, it was exactly right for me in terms of heat, and the other spices has absorbed into the meat, so it tasted great! @Sss, it probably is better with fresh coconut, but right now I'm in a place where it's a major achievement to cook for myself at all, so going to the effort of processing a fresh coconut ain't gonna happen. Besides, they aren't all that common in these parts, and deadly expensive when you can find them.
