BBQ Peri-Peri Chicken

A delightful blend of sweet BBQ chicken with the peppery heat of our Peri-Peri rice. For a vegetarian alternative, omit the Worcestershire sauce and substitute grilled halloumi cheese or tofu for chicken.  For a tasty on-the-go meal, put it all in a wrap.

How to make BBQ Peri-Peri Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, sriracha sauce, mustard and lemon juice to a smooth paste.

  3. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish and smother with the paste, making sure all the chicken is coated.

  4. Cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (165°F internal temperature), basting halfway through. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine all remaining slaw ingredients and mix well to combine.

  6. Heat Tilda® Ready to Serve Peri Peri Rice per package instructions.

  7. Slice the chicken and serve over rice with any remaining sauce. Serve slaw on the side.
