This is a traditional global favorite chicken recipe, originally using the spicy piri-piri pepper (translated to “pepper pepper” in Swahili). The dish name has morphed into several iterations, including ‘pili-pili’, but the base flavors remain the same. If these peppers aren’t easy to come by, you can easily substitute your favorite hot pepper—try ancho or cayenne.

Five-Spice Buttermilk Soaked Roasted Chicken

Developed by Sean Peters of My Body My Kitchen, exclusively for Farmer Focus! “Buttermilk, like yogurt, is slightly acidic which makes it great for tenderizing meats. The acid in buttermilk breaks down the protein fibers in chicken without toughening the meat in the way that stronger acids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) would. In terms of flavors, you will love the combination five-spice powder and garlic in this easy chicken dish.”
