PERI-PERI ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the chicken pieces on a roasting tray. Pat dry with paper towel, coat in oil, the rub and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crispy. In the final 5 minutes, turn the oven to the grill setting or the highest temperature.
ZESTY BROWN RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water with the chicken stock and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and mix through ½ of the lemon zest.
BUTTERY CORN ON THE COB
Place a pan that has a lid over a high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and a splash of water to just cover the base. Once simmering, place the corn on the cob in the pan and pop on the lid. Cook for 6-7 minutes until most of the water has evaporated. Remove the lid, add a knob of butter (optional) and any remaining lemon zest (optional). Fry for a further 2 minutes until cooked through and golden, turning as it colours. Set aside to cool.
SALAD & DRIZZLE
In a bowl, place the rinsed salad leaves, halved baby tomatoes, diced cucumber, crumbled feta and juice of 1 lemon wedge. Toss together, season and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
VERY-PERI FEAST
Plate up the zesty rice and top with the peri-peri chicken. Serve the feta salad and the corn on the cob alongside. Drizzle over the zingy yoghurt dressing and serve a lemon wedge on the side. Sizzling, Chef!
