Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into chips
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 chipsare golden and starting to crisp
2
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
3
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
4
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
5
While the chicken is cooking, combine the remainingperi peri sauce with the mayo – 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 onions finely, separating the whites from the greens
