Usually, Chicken Espetada Recipe is cut into chunks of meat and marinated with spices and cooked over coal. This recipe tastes great with peri peri sauce as a snack, you can have with steamed rice.
This is one of the easiest recipes one can do at home or outdoor. If you are planning to go outdoor, you can directly take the chicken to marinate in a pouch and cook over dry wood.
Usually, food cooked on coal or wood absorbs the smoke and emit natural flavors of the recipe. Especially beef, meat, pork or chicken tastes great. Such great recipes should be served with spicy sauces like peri peri.
