    Ingredients for Peri Peri Fried Chicken Recipe 

    Chicken 

    Fry the chicken for about 7-8 minutes per side. However, keep in mind that the size and thickness of the pieces may vary. When the thickest part of the meat registers 165° and the skin is crispy and dark golden-brown in colour, the chicken is done.

    Peri Peri Spice Mix 

    Peri peri seasoning is a spice blend used to flavour chicken or other meats, but it can also be used in other dishes. Paprika, African birds eye chilli (Peri Peri), oregano, and garlic are common ingredients. The term peri peri or Pelipeli Peli is derived from the African word for chilli pepper.

    Cornflour

    When paired with all-purpose flour, cornstarch helps prevent gluten development, which makes the flour coating crispier, and absorb moisture (from the frying and the chicken), which also means a crispier coating.
