Hi
I
learnt this dish from Daniela Romeo, a young Portuguese lady at International
Cooking Club Singapore Limited, which I was accepted into the club through my
friend, Cecilia Yap for Friday evening group.
The
last meeting, which I attended was hosted by Daniela. She prepared 6 Portuguese dishes for 9 of us. There were so much fun and lots of laughter
while we were helping up in preparation of dishes. It was an awesome evening where we got to
experience the authentic Portuguese dinner together and had fellowship.
I
particularly like this dish so I decided to cook for my family. A great recipe for an authentic Portuguese
chicken. It’s utterly delicious and very
easy to make. I grilled the chicken a
little longer to create a nice and crisp ‘burnt’ on the outside skin. Of course, the chicken is best done over a flame
charcoal but for not having an outdoor grill in my humble apartment, I baked it
in the oven instead and the chicken came out great too.
HAPPY COOKING!
INGREDIENTS
4
tbsp Olive oil
4-10
pcs Bird’s eye chilli depends on the
heat level of your choice [I used 6 pcs of normal chilli]
4
cloves Garlic, or 1.5 tbsp garlic
powder for a thicker
consistency
¼
cup Juice of 1 lemon
1
tbsp Paprika
1
pce Bay leaf
1
tsp Oregano
1
tsp Sea salt
½
tsp Pepper [I used freshly grated black
pepper]
1
Chicken - in butterfly cut
style
Extra sea salt, optional
METHOD
(1)In a
blender combine everything except the chicken and the extra salt, blend until
very smooth.
(2)Score
chicken legs with a knife a few times. [I overlooked
this part]
(3)Pour
1/3 cup of the sauce over chicken and toss well. I sprinkle a few dishes of extra salt on top
of chicken. Marinade the chicken at
least 1 hour or overnight.
(4)Grill
or bake it. To bake, preheat the oven to
220◦C.
(5)Place
the chicken on a baking pan lined with foil, spray with oil, and place chicken. Bake for 15 minutes, turn over, baste with
extra sauce, and continue to bake for another 10 minutes or until chicken is
cooked and browned.
