Recipe adapted from "Good Food, Good Life," by Curtis Stone

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 20 minutes, plus marinating time
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes, plus marinating time

• INGREDIENTS
For the Piri Piri Chicken:
6 red Fresno chiles, roughly chopped
4 red Thai chiles, stemmed
5 garlic cloves
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2½ teaspoons kosher salt
⅔ cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon for grilling
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch chunks
Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 1 hour, or metal skewers
For the Cabbage and Cucumber Slaw:
¼ small head green cabbage, very thinly sliced (about 2½ cups)
¼ English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on an angle (about ¾ cup)
¼ white onion, very thinly sliced (about ¼ cup)
¼ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
Kosher salt, to taste
Grilled flatbreads

DIRECTIONS

1. Make the piri piri chicken: In a food processor, combine the chiles, garlic, vinegar and salt. Pulse until finely minced. With the machine running, add ⅔ cup of olive oil and pulse until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with ⅔ cup of the piri piri mixture to coat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or preferably overnight. Cover and chill the remaining piri piri sauce.

3. Prepare a grill for medium-hot heat or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 4 to 5 pieces of chicken onto each skewer.

4. Using a pastry brush, coat the grill with the remaining tablespoon of oil.

5. Grill the chicken, turning and basting often with the remaining ⅓ cup of sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 12 to 15 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, make the cabbage and cucumber slaw: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage, cucumber, onion, mint, olive oil, lime juice and zest. Season with salt.

7. To serve, divide the chicken skewers, slaw and flatbreads among 4 plates. Serve the remaining piri piri sauce alongside for dipping.
