Copycat)

and corn on the cob for a feast that looks fancy, but is actually
really easy peasy – promise I won’t tell! (Serves 4-6, depending
on appetite.)

Ingredients
Peri Peri Chicken & Corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chilli flakes (or to taste)
4 cloves garlic crushed or grated
Juice of 2 limes
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons oregano
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Black pepper to taste
8 chicken legs (or thighs or a mixture)
4 small corn on the cobs (cobettes)
Coconut Lime Rice
300 g basmati or long grain rice
400 ml tin coconut milk
200 ml water
½ teaspoon salt
400 g tin black eyed peas (or black beans or kidney beans, drained)
Juice of 1 lime
4 spring onions sliced
To serve
Sliced spring onions and lime wedges

Method
Peri Peri Chicken & Corn
1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F. (Save this step till later if you plan to
marinate your chicken first)
2. Mix together all of the Peri Peri Chicken ingredients (apart from the corn on the cobs and the
actual chicken!) in a large bowl. Score the skin of the chicken with the point of a sharp knife
and place the chicken in the bowl of marinade, turning to coat each piece of chicken with
marinade.
3. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the fridge or up to 24 hours if you have the time.
Alternatively just continue with the recipe.
4. Place all the chicken pieces on a roasting tray and place the tray in your preheated oven.
5. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven, add the corn on the cobs
turning them in the juices, then return the tray to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
Coconut Lime Rice
1. While the chicken is cooking, place the rice, coconut milk and water in a pan and bring to the
boil. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 8 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed almost all
the liquid.
2. Add the drained black eyed peas, lime juice and spring onions and cook with the lid on for a
further 2 minutes or until the black eyed peas have warmed through and the liquid is all
absorbed.
3. Keep the lid on until needed.
To serve
1. Arrange the rice on a serving platter, top with the chicken pieces and corn on the cobs. Drizzle
over any juices from the chicken pan and then scatter over the spring onions and lime wedges.
