Recipe: Oven Baked Piri-Piri Chicken

Piri-piri is a traditional African chili sauce. In this easy recipe its fiery taste is toned down with cotage cheese and cream.

Serves 4 to 6

10 to 12 chicken pieces
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon marjoram, freshly chopped
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon piri-piri, or to taste, or your favourite chili sauce
250g savoury chunky cottage cheese
250ml cream
10ml mustard
60ml red wine

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and put in a ovenproof dish.

2. Sprinkle marjoram, thyme and piri-piri over the chicken pieces. Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over the chicken.

3. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. For the last few minutes remove foil and brown chicken pieces. Serve with brown rice and a crispy green salad.
