Cooking Techniques for Peri-Peri Chicken

Cooking techniques for peri-peri chicken

Peri-peri chicken is a dish that originated in Portugal and is now popular all over the world. Many different cooking techniques can be used to make this dish. Some of these are crockpot, oven-baked, stovetop, and instant pot.

The crock pot method is one of the easiest methods to make peri-peri chicken because it does not require much effort on your part. All you need to do is put the ingredients in the crockpot and cook it on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. The oven-baked technique requires a little more work than the crockpot because you have to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius and bake it for 45 minutes until browned.

The stovetop method requires some attention as well because you have to stir continuously while cooking it on medium heat for 10 minutes or until browned.

The instant pot method is a slightly more difficult technique because you have to brown the chicken on the stovetop first before adding it to your Instant Pot.
