Folks,
Chicken Cafreal has become the term used for marinated chicken that has been barbecued, roasted, grilled, fried, etc. The term originated from the Kaffirs or, in Portuguese, Cafres.
It was the signature dish of O Coqueiro in Porvorim and Charles Sobraj is understood to have frequented the establishment for it and for the International telephone line.
One aspect of using the green chili and coriander paste is the flesh of the chicken is slightly pink even when cooked. This does not seem to be the case when other marinades are used.
Cheers
Eddie Fernandes

RESPONSE: My Mum used to make Chicken Cafrael long before Mr Viegas's in O Coqueiro.
Dear Gabe,
Same experience here. My Mum too.
BTW I was pleasant surprised to find the same recipe in Jamaica being followed by a well known "East Indian" family. East Indian = not West Indian.
They call it Ddania Chikin (Dhania or Coriander Chicken)
A couple of months ago, while we were all in London, we were tempted to sample the fare at Nando's in Bayswater. We went Middle Eastern instead.
May be next time.
