Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Add the red peppers, red onion, lemon, and garlic (wrapped in tin foil) to a baking dish. Coat in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season well, and bake for 30 minutes.
Once baked, transfer to a blender along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, basil, oregano, paprika, chilli, salt and pepper and blitz until smooth.
Add the butterflied chicken breasts to a large bowl and cover with the Peri Peri sauce. Massage the sauce into the chicken, cover the bowl and leave to marinate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight).
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
Peel & cut your potatoes into chips and place them into a large saucepan of boiling water to parboil for 10 minutes. Then drain and transfer to a baking tray.
Add the melted coconut oil, mixing well to ensure all chips are coated, and then bake for 45 minutes or until the chips are golden and crispy.
When the chips have been in for 30 minutes, heat a non-stick pan or cast iron griddle and add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for roughly 5 minutes on each side, making sure the chicken is entirely cooked through and not pink in the middle.
Once the chips are cooked, transfer to a large bowl and add the paprika, garlic granules, chilli powder and season to taste. Mix all the seasonings well so that your chips are evenly coated.
Serve the Peri Peri chicken and Peri salted chips with any other sides of your choice (Niall’s gone for a corn on the cob and side salad) — then enjoy!
