Frango à Cafrial

Description

Barbecued chicken. In Mozambique about 4 Tbsp of hot red pepper are used in the Cafrial. In this recipe, crushed red peppers may be substituted. 1 tsp cayenne pepper will give quite a "bite," so if you prefer to hold the seasoning and add it after the chickens are cooked, cut down on the amount given.

Ingredients

• 4 x 2½ lb whole chickens

Seasoning

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ cup salad oil

Directions

1. Combine all seasoning ingredients and blend thoroughly.
2. Rub chickens with the seasoned oil on all sides thoroughly.
3. Roast, broil, or barbecue the chickens in your favorite manner, basting them from time to time with the seasoned oil until chickens are done.
4. Cut chickens in half.
5. Serve with plenty of white rice (allow 1 cup cooked rice per person).
