Homemade Peri Peri Seasoning ^new^ Jun 2026

Peri Peri (also spelled Piri Piri) is a vibrant, fiery, and citrusy seasoning that originates from Portuguese explorers in Southern Africa. The name means "pepper pepper" in Swahili, and it’s famous for giving flame-grilled chicken (like Nando’s) its addictive kick. While store-bought blends are convenient, making your own homemade peri peri seasoning unlocks a fresher, brighter, and fully customizable spice mix without preservatives or anti-caking agents.
