Name: Piri piri chicken legs with pineapple salsa
Total time: 8400 s
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon piri piri spice rub; 4 oakham gold chicken leg; 4 white potato; 1 pack sweet corn on the cob; 250 gram pineapple; 1/2 red onion; 10 gram mint; 1 lime; 2 little gem lettuce

Step 1

Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with the piri piri rub (7 g) and rub it all over the chicken legs (4) . Leave to marinate for 30 minutes. Put the white potatoes (4) into a large mixing bowl with 1 tbsp salt and fill the bowl with water. Leave to soak for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Step 2

Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking, then griddle the chicken legs skin side down for 3-4 minutes, or until they have some charring on them. Flip over and griddle the underside for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a baking tray.

Step 3

In another large baking tray, toss the chips with 2 tbsp sunflower oil, then spread out in a single layer.

Step 4

Put the chicken and chips into the oven (the chips should be below the chicken) and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside somewhere warm, uncovered. Turn the chips, move the chip tray higher up in the oven and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Step 5

Meanwhile, wipe off the griddle pan and place it back over a high heat. Once smoking, drizzle the corn cobs (1 pack) with a little oil and griddle for 5-6 minutes, turning now and then, until they have some colour on them. Transfer to the chip tray in the oven for the final 10 minutes before the chicken comes out, then leave in for the last 10 minutes so they have 20 in total.

Step 6

Mix the pineapple (250 g) , onion (1/2) , mint (10 g) and lime juice (1) and season. Once the chicken is cooked, brush the lettuce quarters (2) with oil and griddle for 4-5 minutes on a medium-high heat, turning now and then, until charred and soft.

Step 7

Cut the corn cobs in half, then serve the chicken with the chips, corn, lettuce and pineapple salsa.
