'Buffalo' Chicken Breast Strips

Last night I prepared chicken that I had planned to put on the BBQ. Little did I know our BBQ was still apart, in the mid-cleaning phase. So I took the chicken and pan seared it, then coated it in additional sauce. The result was delicious. . . like really, really delicious.

I used a sauce called Piri-Piri. It is of Portuguese origin and is crazy good. We purchase ours from a local Portuguese restaurant that has had so many requests for this sauce that they have started to bottle it and sell it. If you don't have any you could use a spicy BBQ sauce or there are recipes for it online. My below recipe calls for 1/8 of a cup of two ingredients, I recommend using 1/4 measuring cup and filling it half way with one and then the other. You'll save dishes and it is easier to measure.

'Buffalo' Chicken Breasts

• 3 Chicken breasts, but into 1" strips
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup Piri-Piri sauce
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp spicy pepper medley (or any other spices similar, Montreal Seasoning, Steak Rub)

* Combine ingredients and let chicken marinate for 2 hours or overnight
* Either BBQ chicken or pan sear on high heat until cooked. Keep adding tiny amounts of water to prevent the chicken from blackening on pan

'Buffalo' Toss

• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup Piri-Piri sauce

* Put the 2 sauces in the bowl toss in cooked chicken.
