"This recipe originates from a restaurant, Roasty Chicken Churrasqueira, located in the town of Maple, Ontario, Canada. Piri Piri sauces are used in Portuguese and African cooking. I fell in love with churrasqueira chicken after trying it in a local restaurant in my home town. I think this sauce is the best of it's kind that I've tried. This recipe will make about 1 cup of sauce."

I used this in my piri-piri chicken recipe as the sauce. I compared it to some nando's piri piri sauce I have in a hot sauce bottle and the flavor is all there, and while this is not quite as hot as that one, this still packs some heat when made on the chicken. A most excellent recipe, I believe I will always use this on piri piri. Thanks for sharing.
