Air fryer piri piri or peri peri chicken wings have a crisp exterior, and are doused in a tangy Nando’s style spicy periperi pepper  sauce.

Air-Fryer Peri Peri Chicken WIngs

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

My recipe of the day is for peri peri chicken wings (also called piri piri). These spicy  wings are made in an air-fryer with a crispy  coating.

I  am posting this recipe with  the Eat the World blogging group. This month centers on  Portuguese recipes.

Recipes for peri peri (or piri piri) chicken aren’t much found  in Portugal itself, but are recipes  made by Portuguese settlers in colonies such as Mozambique  and South Africa, using Portuguese peppers. So really it is a bit of Portuguese cooking that Africans have come to love more than anyone else.

I am posting this recipe today  as part of Eat the World, where each month a group of adventurous bloggers takes on making a recipe from a different part of the globe. This month, the topic was Portugal.
