god i'd die if i couldn't eat the yummy nando's sauce. it makes eating clean fun! don't worry too much about the nutritional value. it's so low in carbs that it almost doesn't matter.

Finally a thread about this amazing dinner! Usually when I go out I'm a bit iffy about what they put in the food. But i love this cause it's so simple and clean, you know exactly what's in it and it tastes great.

according to one of my friends, apparrently at nando's they actually boil the chicken first, before they grill it with the sauce/marinade.

Not entirely sure whether they do this just to cook the chicken faster, but it does help in keeping the chicken nice and juicy inside rather than getting too dry!

If I ever decide to cook this myself, I'm pretty lazy so I usually just chuck the sauce on the chicken breast, and put it straight on the pan

Sauce is available through Coles, Woollies and Safeway. I buy this all the time, Nando's Barbecue marinade, taste is the same as the chicken steak i had last year.

Man I have been too the past few months. I crave for it now. Addictive to me now. As you said its expensive. One chicken is about $16.
They sell the marinate sauce for about $8. Should do two whole chickens or quite a few breasts!!

As someone said, buy the Peri Peri sauce and make it cheaper. Will try and let you know.

Mmmmm need some now!

I also found this recipe.

Enjoy!!

chicken with peri peri sauce

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon Angostura bitters
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
1 jalapeno pepper
2 garlic cloves
1 lb chicken breasts

Combine the lime juice, vinegar, paprika, bitters and hot pepper sauce in a glass baking dish.
Wearing kitchen gloves, split the jalapeno pepper, remove seeds.
Mash the pepper with the garlic into a smooth paste using a mortar or an electric spice grinder.
Add the paste to the lime mixture in the baking dish and combine.
Toss the chicken pieces and swish them in the marinade until they are completely coated. Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or broil until cooked through and burnished, about 20 minutes on each side. Baste frequently with the marinade. If the chicken looks like it is beginning to burn, move it farther away from the heat source.
Serve hot with chilled orange sections and plenty of napkins.

What is it with people and Nandos? I've had a nandos burger once and was not impressed so maybe its just me... :/

I grew out of the burgers pretty quick, although I will never get sick of 1/2 chicken + rice!!!
