The Most Popular Dish at Nando’s: PERi-PERi Chicken

Amazingly, when it comes to Nando’s, the magic begins and ends with their legendary Nando’s chicken dish named “Nando’s PERi-PERi” – the signature dish of this restaurant!

Curious about what makes it so special? Let’s dive in! PERi-PERi also known as the African Bird’s Eye Chilli, is the heart and soul of Nando’s. Importantly, this fiery pepper thrives in the rich soils of Southern Africa, especially Mozambique. This ingredient is the key to their mouth-watering, flame-grilled Nando’s chicken.

Interestingly, PERi-PERi is not just any pepper; it contains capsaicin, and the notable thing about this is it enhances your mood and metabolism. Imagine enjoying a meal that not only tastes incredible but also gives you a rush of endorphins! The Nando’s PERi-PERi sauce is a delightful blend of this unique chili with the following things:

  • Salt
  • Garlic
  • Lemon

The chefs marinate the Nando’s chicken for 24 hours to obtain that rich taste. As a result, this process ensures every bite is bursting with PERi-PERi flavor!

Feeling cheerful? You should be! Nando’s chicken isn’t just about the heat; it’s a full-body experience. The sauce offers a kick of heat that builds gently, culminating in a warm, satisfying sensation. It’s no wonder customers rave about it!
