Galinha à Zambeziana

Description
From Mozambique’s Zambezia province comes this spicy-hot chicken with coconut milk.

Ingredients

 * 3 – 4 lbs chicken pieces
 * 1 cup butter

Piripiri sauce variation for chicken

 * 6 garlic cloves, chopped
 * 2 bay leaves
 * ¼ teaspoon pepper powder
 * 3 chopped Spanish peppers (Thai peppers) or towards taste
 * 5 dl fresh coconut milk

Directions

 * 1) Marinate (soak) the chicken pieces in piripiri sauce for at least two hours (if you have time for them to marinate longer, cover and refrigerate).
 * 2) When you’re ready to cook, melt a cup of butter and add it to the marinade.
 * 3) Use this mixture to coat chicken while it cooks.
 * 4) Either broil the chicken or grill it over a charcoal fire.
 * 5) To broil, lay pieces on a rack over a pan deep enough to catch the grease that will drip down.
 * 6) Cook 10 – 15 minutes on each side, basting several times with the sauce.
 * 7) When chicken is tender, serve with a fresh batch of piripiri sauce - made as before, but heated for five minutes before being passed around.
