Ingredients
Peri Peri Marinade
- 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
Sunset Burgers
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese cut in half to make 8 pieces (see Note 2)
- 4 English muffins (or burger buns, see Note 3)
- 4 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise (I use Hellman's)
- 8 lettuce leaves (the frilly kind, such as butterhead, works best)
- 4 tablespoons smoky red pepper chutney (or sub with red onion chutney)

Instructions
- Mix together all of the peri peri marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
- Place the 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 the first side.
- Turn over and fry for 2 minutes on the second side, then place a half slice of cheddar on each chicken thigh and cover the pan with a lid. (This will help the cheese melt better – if you don’t have a lid, use a baking tray or similar.) Fry for a further 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, cut the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in your toaster.
- To assemble, first take the bottom half of the toasted English muffin and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on it. Then add 2 lettuce leaves, followed by 2 cheesy chicken thighs. Finally top with 1 tablespoon of smoky red pepper chutney and the top half of the toasted English muffin. Repeat for the remaining 3 burgers.
- 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.
- You can use mild, medium or mature cheddar here – personally, I used mature!
- English muffins are the closest thing I could find to the bolo do caco rolls that Nando’s use. They are actually very similar and work really well. But you can use regular burger buns, if you prefer!
- Suitable for freezing (chicken thighs only).
