# – And that’s how you make your own Nando’s peri-peri chicken at home. The chicken was succulent and full of flavours. The sauce was delicious! The BF said that it didn’t taste precisely like the sauce from Nando’s but it’s unmistakably a peri-peri sauce with its own special kick.
Make your own Nando's sauce by taking all the same seasonings in this recipe again and mixing it with some lemon juice, more oil and some vinegar until the desired consistency. We used chicken thighs, but you can use drumsticks, breasts or even a whole chicken.
If you can find peri peri (or piri piri sauce), please use that instead. 2 teaspoons of Sriracha yields a very mild spicy result. So mild we could hardly taste it. Feel free to leave it out if you have doubts, but we love it in there for the flavour enhancement. For a good kick of spice, 1-2 tablespoons is a good start.
There are now 93 open for business during the pandemic — but if you can't get to one, you can make your own Nando's dinner at home. Nando's is incrementally reopening its branches across the country - but if you can't wait, you can make your own Nando's at home Credit: Alamy
