How can I recreate Nandos at home - please help I really miss it.

[timmette]

Having been inspired by the KFC thread on here - I really miss Nandos and we don't have it here.
Does anyone know how to recreate Nandos spicy chicken - please. I have bought their sauces etc before but it still doesn't tast quite the same. Any ideas - or failing that will anyone post it to me - lol .

I think you have to marinade it in the sauce first, then par cook it in the oven then finish it off on a very hot grill.

Where are you that you can't get Nandos. Move.

And you want to cook it in the oven covered to keep it super moist.

You need a rottiseree oven! They marinate and I think inject the meat under the skin. Buy a syringe from a chemist and have a go.

Oh and drinking a pint of tequila first may help add authenticity

In Belgium .
DP will think I am crazy if I start injecting chicken - but then he thinks that already .
Not sure about the tequilla but could do a Margarita .
But does anyone know what kind of spicy thing to marinade in...other than some form of chilli

Nandos sauce? Surely you can get someone to post it to you?

Black pepper, tamarind, chilli, salt, molasses and garlic.

Aha! I have it - you are eating Belgian chicken which as everyone knows is made of Belgium's only exports, chocolate and Poirot

Piri piri sauce?

oven bags are great for keeping moisture in, then remove it for the last 20 mins.

nandos will do delivery to europe, but I think you have to spend a bit.
At least you get waffles, and nice cheese, and chips with mayo, and belgian chocolate liquor....

Belgian chocolate liquor - does that exist - might be a good idea if I don't discover it - . Generally the food is great here but impossible to get anything spicy with a bit of a kick .
I actually have all of those ingredients whomovedmychocolate maybe it's fate - lol

thanks for all the help going to do some research on peri peri recipies - drooling as I go.

the museo de chocolate in brugge does the best chocolate liquor. I'm drooling thinking abouyt it! Was going to get some on way back from germany at Easter but didnt get chance.
