DiChickO's (formerly Galito's) Famous Sauces and Flame Grilled Chicken restaurants first opened in South Africa in 1996. Their flame grilled Portuguese chicken has been a great success. Today, there are 12 DiChickO's restaurants and more on their way. DiChickO's South Africa has teamed up with DiChickO's USA to bring this authentic Peri-Peri sauce to the United States.Peri-Peri means "pepper pepper" in Swahili. The specific pepper referred to is the African Bird's Eye Pepper. This fiery pepper is very small and can be found in African and Portuguese cuisine. The pepper was carried back by Portuguese traders to Angola and Mozambique, and then ultimately to Portugal.
Galito's has combined this red hot pepper and packed it with flavor. We carry Mild, Hot, Extra Hot, Habanero, Lemon & Herb, and Garlic. The heat in the Peri-Peri sneaks up on you only after the intense flavors of lemon, garlic & herbs have paved the way. The result is that you just can't get enough!
Use with chicken, beef, pork, vegetables, chili, soup, etc. It can be used as a condiment, marinade, or overall flavor enhancer. Varieties sold separately.
