In Portugal and Southern Africa, you will find a bottle of Peri- Peri (Piri- Piri in Portugal) sauce similar to this on just about every Portuguese table. It is used as a condiment to flavour almost everything from potato chips, eggs, and fried fish to ( of course) chicken. This fantastic sauce has the perfect combination of heat and piquancy that will have your friends begging for the recipe. When the bottle starts emptying ( as it will in no time at all ) simply add a couple more chillies , some lemon, and vinegar . Doing this will keep the bottle going for a lot longer
