I had tried a new Piri Piri seasoning to flavour some bacon for a friend. I liked it so much that I thought I would try it on chicken.

I mixed together:

2 ml (1/2 tsp) paprika

1 ml (1/4 tsp) oregano

1 ml (1/4 tsp) cardamom

1 ml (1/4 tsp) ginger

1 ml (1/4 tsp) garlic powder

1 ml (1/4 tsp) onion powder

1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt

1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne

I spatchcocked a 1.4 kg (3 pound) chicken


I rubbed some of the mixture under the breast skin and thigh skin. I rubbed the rest over the surface of the bird.




I put it in the pellet grill at 350 F over competition blend pellets and cooked to an IT of 165 in the breast.


It is still winter here in the mountains.


Here is the finished product.



I did a video of the cook.



The Verdict

This is a very tasty seasoning and I will be using it again. The chicken was moist with nice crisp skin. Altogether, a very nice meal!

Great looking bird Disco! We like piri piri too.
Thanks, Case. It turned out well but I missed the lemon I use in my original recipe. I will use this spice mix on the next one but will introduce some lemon and butter.

I've never tried that seasoning blend, but it sounds great.

That chicken looks very nice as well! Y'all stay warm, that one pic made me cold!

Point for the recipe sir!
