Peri-Peri Chicken 🐓 and Veg 🥔

Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 minsCook Time1 hr 30 minsTotal Time1 hr 40 mins

Here is one of my personal favourites. Peri-Peri Chicken with vegetables. The reason why this is such an awesome meal is that you can cook both your meat and veggies at the same time and without getting your camp oven or skillet dirty. Harry from Fire to Fork prepared this awesome meal using our Camp Braai with medium coals.

Another method to braai this meal is to hang the braai basket on the stand about 1M away from open flames. It will take about 2.5 hours hanging it next to the fire but it will require less turning because it will slow roast.
