This cheeky chicken dinner is so easy to make. For the Portuguese-style dressing, you'll use fresh lemon juice, chilli and vinegar to both marinate your chicken and spice up your mayo dip. Double whammy.

Senior Recipe Developer Hannah Mariaux, said: "Use a teaspoon to scrape the seeds out of your chilli before chopping finely and to get more juice out of a lemon, simply roll it with your hand on a hard surface and cut in half."

Ingredients

For 2 people (double for 4)

1 lemon

1 apple

1 red chilli

1 garlic clove

2 spring onions

320g British chicken thighs

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tomato paste sachet (16g)

4 white potatoes

Add the chips to a large baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until the chips are golden and starting to crisp

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic

Cut the red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Roll the lemon[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half

Combine the chipotle paste, tomato paste, dried oregano, white wine vinegar, chopped garlic, and chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon

Add 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil, 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] cold water and a pinch of salt and mix to combine – this is your peri peri sauce

Add half of the peri peri sauce (you'll use the rest later!) to a separate large bowl with the chicken thighs and mix well until they're fully coated

Transfer the coated chicken thighs to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) and put the tray in the oven for 16-20 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your peri peri chicken

While the chicken is cooking, combine the remaining peri peri sauce with the mayonnaise – this is your perinaise

Top, tail, peel and grate the carrot[s]

Cut the apple[s] (skin on) into matchsticks

Trim, then slice the spring onion[s] finely, separating the whites from the greens7

Combine the grated carrot, apple matchsticks, spring onion whites and 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] of the perinaise (save the rest for later!) – this is your apple slaw

Cut the remaining lemon into wedges
