PIRI PIRI CHICKEN LEGS

Serves 4

4 PP per portion

4 chicken legs, skinned

1 large red pepper

1 red chilli

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Low fat spray

De-seed the pepper and chilli and chop roughly, halve the garlic cloves. Place pepper, chilli, garlic, paprika, vinegar and seasoning to taste into a food processor and blitz until the ingredients form a paste.

Put some slashes into the chicken legs and place in a non-metallic dish, cover with the prepared paste and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (better left overnight).

Pre-heat oven to 200°C: 400°F: Gas 6. 

Spray a frying pan with the low-fat spray and fry legs on each side for around 2 minutes to seal.

Place the legs on a baking tray, cover with remaining marinade and cook for 15 – 20 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
