PERI-PERI?
In the fifteenth century, Portuguese settlers in south Africa cultivated spicy red chili peppers called Peri Peri. Shortly after, widespread use of these flavorful peppers led to the creation of what is known today as South African Peri-Peri Sauce. And this sauce, which combines sweet, garlicky, spicy, salty, and tangy flavors was found - by chefs - to be a fantastic marinade and/or accompaniment when grilling poultry. And because of this - today - we have the famous and delicious South African Peri-peri Chicken.
PERI-PERI CHICKEN AVAILABLE IN BETHPAGE !
At Peri-Peri Grill House in Bethpage, it's obvious the founders worked tirelessly to perfect the recipe for each of the seven variations of Peri-Peri Sauce - all with different flavors, and spice levels. And it's also obvious that the results of this labor of love have paid off with some of the tastiest chicken available on Long Island.
THAT SPECIAL GRILL
All the best sauces and preparation would be useless if the chicken was not properly cooked. And so, It's a pleasure to report, that the special grill they use here, results in juicy, perfectly cooked chicken - tattooed with beautiful grill marks. And this is readily apparent when ordering the half or quarter chicken options, especially if you request the chicken to be well-done
THOSE WINGS!
As good as the half chicken is, the wings are on a different level of deliciousness, and are probably, the best item on the menu. They're large, meaty, and juicy, while the flavors really pop on these smaller pieces of chicken. All this, along with those wonderful grill marks, leads to some of the tastiest wings I've ever eaten, and let me tell you, I've eaten A LOT of wings!
WHAT ELSE
If chicken on the bone isn't what you're feeling today, this restaurant offers a grilled chicken sandwich that's deliciously enhanced with your choice of Peri-Peri sauce. And there's also a very respectable fried chicken sandwich served with Peri-Peri mayo, hot sauce, and lettuce. In addition, there's cheese burgers, a tasty falafel burger, wraps, salads, and chicken tenders rounding out the menu.
And one cannot live on main dishes alone, Luckily, the sides here help complete the meal in a tasty fashion. The Peri-Peri fries are crispy, corn on the cob sweet and buttery, coleslaw creamy and fresh and the Peri-Peri rice nicely spiced.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT
If your similar to me, and feel a bit fatigued by the played-out chicken offerings at KFC and Popeyes, Peri-Peri Grill House is a fantastic flavorful alternative. And for some fun, you can figuratively roll-the-dice, and try different sauces each time you visit - until you settle on your favorites. Mine by the way, are Extra Hot, Hot, Jerk BBQ, and lemon & Herb.
SOME PARTING THOUGHTS :
The Extra Hot Peri-Peri sauce here, is not that spicy, so don't be afraid to order it - unless you're a spice wimp baby.
The people behind the counter are really friendly, helpful, and nice. And although every order is prepared fresh, the kitchen is efficient, so food comes out relatively quickly.
By all means, definitely try to give this restaurant a visit when you're in the area, if you haven't already. It's a great go-to when you can't decide what to eat. And I enjoy it for that reason, and many of the other reasons listed above. And because of this, without a doubt, I would place a bet on Kalshi that you will enjoy it too.
