Peri Peri Wings with Cucumber Yoghurt Sauce

Spicy roasted chicken wings paired with a refreshing cucumber yogurt sauce—truly irresistible!

Peri Peri sauce is a famous African condiment, traditionally made with a variety of spices and bird’s eye chilies, which are 4-5 times hotter than Thai chilies. However, since bird’s eye chilies are hard to find in Hong Kong, this recipe uses Thai chilies as a substitute, maintaining the spicy kick! Afraid of the heat? Don’t worry—besides adjusting the amount of Bird's eye chilli to your taste, I also used pure yogurt to make a cucumber yogurt sauce. The yogurt effectively tones down the heat, and combined with the crisp cucumber, it’s incredibly refreshing and addictive!
