Directions
Prepare the Piri-Piri Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine the Piri-Piri sauce ingredients and blend until almost smooth.
Transfer the sauce to a pan and simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes. After simmering, carefully taste and adjust for seasoning. Once cool, divide into two containers (one for pouring/brushing the raw chicken and one for serving with the cooked chicken).
Season the Chicken
Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Prepare the Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F convection
In a large oval roaster, toss the parboiled fingerling potatoes with the cauliflower, and broccoli florets, then drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. (I like to arrange the cut side of the potatoes facing down at the bottom of the pan to brown them a little).
- Place the seasoned chicken quarters on top of the vegetables and pour half of the Piri-Piri sauce over the chicken, brushing the sauce to ensure it’s evenly coated.
Bake
Place the Large Oval roaster in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 170°F/74°C).
- If the chicken is browning too quickly, lightly tent the chicken pieces with foil and continue baking.
