per peri chicken

Recipe video above. This is my copycat of Nando&#39;s famous Peri Peri Chicken Burgers! Chicken marinated in a homemade Peri Peri sauce, seared for an authentic char, piled onto warm buns and slathered with a homemade &quot;Perinaise&quot; (Peri Peri Mayonnaise sauce). This is moreish, burger perfection, better than take-out!Serve with French fries or wedges for a real-deal Nando&#39;s experience at home. Excellent for gatherings - marinade large batches of chicken, cook on the BBQ, set up a DIY burger station!

Nando's Peri Peri Chicken Burgers

red chilies

red capsicum / bell pepper

garlic (, peeled, whole)

tbsp vegetable oil

tbsp malt vinegar ((Note 2))

tbsp smoked paprika ((substitute regular / sweet paprika))

oregano

onion garlic

tsp white sugar

tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

red food colouring ((optional, Note 3))

tbsp Peri Peri Sauce ((above))

whole egg mayonnaise ((or other mayonnaise))

sour cream ((or yoghurt))

olive oil

chicken breasts or chicken thigh fillets (, skinless boneless (each large enough for a burger))

rolls

tomatoes (, sliced)

Lettuce of choice

Prepare chicken breast - If using breast, pound to 1 cm / 0.4&quot; even thickness (cover with go-between or freezer bags, use a meat mallet or rolling pin). Then trim each chicken piece so it is a bit larger than the buns (factor in 20% shrinkage when it cooks).

Peri Peri Sauce - Put the Per Peri Sauce ingredients in a jug and blitz until smooth using a stick blender, or other appliance of choice (food processor, blender, NutriBullet).

Marinade chicken - Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into a bowl or ziplock bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours, in the fridge.

Perinaise - Mix together the Perinaise ingredients. Set aside.

Cook chicken - Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan over medium / medium-high heat, OR brush BBQ grill with oil then heat. Cook breast for 3 minutes on each side, thighs for 4 minutes (in batches, if they won&#39;t fit in the pan), lowering the heat as needed if they are charring too much (char = legit!).

Rest - Remove the chicken onto a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes. (Meanwhile, toast the rolls)

Assemble - To make the burgers, spread the base of a roll with Peri-naise. Top with lettuce, tomato then chicken, then top with more Peri-naise and extra Peri Peri sauce if desired!
