👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Season the chicken pieces with salt. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with sliced malagueta peppers, crushed garlic, the roughly chopped onion, lemon juice, and vegetable oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator, or preferably overnight.

Transfer the marinated chicken and all the marinade to a large saucepan or stew pot. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add a little more water if it starts to dry out.

Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid, reserving it. In the same pot, add the remaining thinly sliced onion and the reserved cooking liquid. Add the butter and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

While the sauce is reducing, preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). Grill or roast the chicken pieces for 15-20 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and slightly crispy.
