Nando's Peri Peri Chicken Burgers
Recipe video above. This is my copycat of Nando'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 "Perinaise" (Peri Peri Mayonnaise sauce). This is moreish, burger perfection, better than take-out!Serve with French fries or wedges for a real-deal Nando's experience at home. Excellent for gatherings - marinade large batches of chicken, cook on the BBQ, set up a DIY burger station!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare chicken breast - If using breast, pound to 1 cm / 0.4" 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).
2
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).

3
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.
4
Perinaise - Mix together the Perinaise ingredients. Set aside.
5
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't fit in the pan), lowering the heat as needed if they are charring too much (char = legit!).

6
Rest - Remove the chicken onto a plate, loosely cover with foil and rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes. (Meanwhile, toast the rolls)
7
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!
