Introduction
This recipe is inspired by the Lagos region of Portugal, where I spent three summers working and which I still visit every year. There are loads of local versions of the sauce, but I’ve adapted the recipe by adding bourbon whisky to give it a bit of Southern US flair.

Ingredients
| 8 | fresh malagueta or piri piri chillies (use regular red chillies if you need to) |
|---|---|
| 3 cloves of | garlic, peeled |
| 180ml | olive oil |
| 50ml | cider vinegar |
| 2 tbsp | bourbon whiskey |
| juice from ½ a lemon | |
| 1 tsp | sea salt |
Method
If you have a blender you can use that to mix up this rad concoction, otherwise get all feral and just chop and mix. Wearing gloves, halve the chillies lengthways and scrape out the seeds (or keep them in for über heat), then finely slice and put into a bowl. Finely slice the garlic and add to the bowl with the remaining ingredients. Mix well, then use straight away to make my piri piri chicken wings (see page 52 of Jamie’s Food Tube: The BBQ Book ), or store in sterilized bottles or jars in the fridge for up to 6 months. My good friend Adriano Shepherd says, ‘You need to let this brew and do its thing for at least 2 weeks before using.’ Adriano owns one of my top-five restaurants on this planet, Beach Bar, so I’d heed his advice. Now go find the closest mirror and tell yourself: ‘You are an awesome person.’
