Homemade Nando’s Boneless Chicken Thighs
Report
Love the Peri Peri Boneless Chicken Thighs you get at Nando’s? Well, now you can make your own with this fakeaway version of a Nando’s favourite! Instructions given for griddle pan, frying pan and oven. No matter how you like your Nando’s, I’ve got you covered!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried chilli flakes (or to taste – see Note 1)
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Black pepper to taste
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (see Note 2)
Instructions
- Mix together all of the ingredients (except the chicken thighs!) in a large bowl to make the peri peri marinade.
- Place the boneless chicken thighs in the bowl of marinade, turning to coat each piece of chicken with marinade.
- Cover and marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the fridge, if you have the time. Alternatively, just continue with the recipe.
- Heat up a griddle pan (or regular frying pan) over a high heat for 1 minute. Fry the marinated chicken thighs in the griddle pan for 4 minutes on each side.
- (Alternatively, place the chicken thighs on a baking tray and roast in your oven, preheated to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F, for 15 minutes, turning once.)
- Serve with all your favourite Nando’s sides!
Notes
- Adjust the heat by using more or less chilli flakes. Exact ‘hotness’ will depend on the brand of chilli flakes, but as a rough guide go for 1 teaspoon = mild, 2 teaspoons = medium, 3 teaspoons = hot, 4 teaspoons = extra hot.
- In Nando’s you get 4 chicken thighs per person, but I find that the chicken thighs you get in the supermarket tend to be bigger than the chicken thighs they serve at Nando’s – so 2 per person is plenty. But if you want to serve 4 per person, simply double the recipe!
- Suitable for freezing.
