Nando's Flame-Grilled Chicken

Famous for its flame-grilled chicken, Nando's is a great alternative to our accustomed Swiss Chalet here in Canada. Perhaps most unique is the Peri Peri sauce which accompanies the chicken, made from the African Bird's Eye Chili which was introduced to Portuguese colonists a long time ago.

Upon your visit, you'll notice the fast-food style service where you can order a variety of chicken dishes right from the front counter. Once you've ordered, you will have to seat yourself and wait for the chicken to come running from the grill. And though some will consider the Peri Peri sauce very spicy, the milder version is a must try. Alternatively, one can also try the garlic sauce.

One can expect the service and dining experience to be a little off, but that's pretty much in line with most fast-food joints. If your up for the spice challenge, give it a try by ordering a round of chicken, chicken kabobs, wings, and a side of Peri Peri fries. Oh, and don't forget to get a kick from the sauce!
