This here is something wonderfully easy to make but tastes like you've spent ages on it. All you need is a readymade peri-peri sauce. I use Nando's medium peri-peri sauce which you get to buy in most supermarkets.
Ingredients:
- Chicken thighs and legs - 2
 - Button mushroom - 100 gm
 - Potatoes - 2 cut in wedges
 - Chopped garlic/Garlic paste - 2 tbsp
 - Paprika powder/Pepper powder - 1 tsp
 - Peri-Peri sauce
 - Dried oregano
 - Olive oil
 - Salt
 
Method:
The chicken:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
 - Make small slits on the chicken before marinating in the peri-peri sauce, paprika, garlic and salt. Leave for half an hour.
 - Place in a roasting pan and cover with kitchen foil. Poke the foil with a knife a few times to allow steam to escape.
 - Place the pan in the oven for 45 minutes.
 - Once done, drain the liquid in the pan to a saucepan. Simmer till reduced to a thick sauce. IF necessary, add corn flour to thicken.
 - Pour the sauce on the chicken before serving.
 
Mushrooms:
- Heat 2 tbsps of olive oil in a pan.
 - Add chopped garlic and saute till fried.
 - Add the mushrooms and 2 tbsps of peri-peri sauce.
 - Add salt and pepper.
 - Cook on medium heat till the mushrooms are done.
 - Serve.
 
Potato wedges:
- Boil the wedges in salted water till just done so they hold their shape and do not get mashed.
 - Drain the wedges.
 - In a bowl, mix a bit of of olive oil and dried oregano.
 - Toss the potatoes in the oil and then place in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes till crisp.
 - Serve with the chicken and mushrooms.
 
Happy Eating! :)
