Ingredients

4 servings

1 - 3 birds eye red chilies ((1 is very mild, 3 is mildly spicy) (Note 1))
1 medium red capsicum / bell pepper (, roughly cut into 1.5cm / 1/2" pieces)
5 g arlic cloves (, peeled, whole)
3 tbsp vegetable or canola oil (, or other plain flavoured oil)
4 tbsp malt vinegar ((Note 2))
2 tbsp smoked paprika ((substitute regular / sweet paprika))
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp onion powder ((substitute garlic powder))
1 1/2 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
3 drops red food colouring ((optional, Note 3))
3 tbsp Peri Peri Sauce ((above))
1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise ((or other mayonnaise))
1/4 cup sour cream ((or yoghurt))
2 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken breasts or chicken thigh fillets (, skinless boneless (each large enough for a burger))
4 soft rolls (, split and lightly toasted (if desired))
2 tomatoes (, sliced)
Lettuce of choice

Steps

Prepare chicken breast - If using breast, pound to 1 cm / 0.4" even thickness (cover with go-between or freezer bags, use a meat mallet or rolling pin). Then trim each chicken piece so it is a bit larger than the buns (factor in 20% shrinkage when it cooks).
Peri Peri Sauce - Put the Per Peri Sauce ingredients in a jug and blitz until smooth using a stick blender, or other appliance of choice (food processor, blender, NutriBullet).
Marinade chicken - Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into a bowl or ziplock bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours, in the fridge.
Perinaise - Mix together the Perinaise ingredients. Set aside.
Cook chicken - Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan over medium / medium-high heat, OR brush BBQ grill with oil then heat. Cook breast for 3 minutes on each side, thighs for 4 minutes (in batches, if they won't fit in the pan), lowering the heat as needed if they are charring too much (char = legit!).
Rest - Remove the chicken onto a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes. (Meanwhile, toast the rolls)
Assemble - To make the burgers, spread the base of a roll with Peri-naise. Top with lettuce, tomato then chicken, then top with more Peri-naise and extra Peri Peri sauce if desired!
