Note
Tips: For extra flavour, marinate the chicken in the peri peri mixture for 2-4 hours before cooking.
Adjust the amount of peri peri sauce according to your heat preference.
If the rice seems too wet after cooking, leave it uncovered for 5 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
For crispier chicken skin, pat the chicken dry before applying the marinade.
