Nandos Peri Bites – A must for Spice Lovers

Peri Bites is the treat of Nandos. People Love Nandos for its chicken dishes and they took it to the next level due to their peri-peri sauces. This sauce is also present at all the grocery stores all over the world, but what makes it different is the special recipes that Nandos offer with the perfect spice of peri-peri sauce. As, I have given you reviews on many restaurants, why not to give you a recipe that is quite easy to make at your homes without spending a hefty amount on it. What I didn’t like at Nandos is the price that they charge on particular dishes that are no-doubt tasty but not worth of the food quantity and quality. Why to spend money if we can make these peri-peri bites at home. Peri-Peri Bites are the Green chilies filled with the peri-basted chicken and cheese with a crispy coating. It seems easy, but it takes time to make. Here is the recipe for Peri-Peri Bites that you can try in this holy month of Ramadan and Thanks me later!

Ingredients:

·         Chicken chunks

·         Peri-Peri sauce

·         Mayonnaise

·         Milk

·         Grated Cheese (Cheddar and Mozzarella)

·         8-10 Green Chilies (Thick and approx. 3 inches in length)

·         Egg white

·         Flour

·         Salt and Pepper

·         Bread Crumbs

·         Milk

·         Cooking Oil

·         Syringe with a needle removed

Method:

1.     Take the chicken and cut into the manageable chunks to stuff into the chilly. Cut the chunks accordingly. Take a Pan pour cooking oil and peri-peri sauce along with the chicken chunks and fry until it gets tender.

2.   Take another pan and pour milk and grated cheese (Both cheddar and Mozzarella) and cook it till the texture is smooth, then add mayonnaise to this cheese mixture and make it thicker. After that pour the mixture into the syringe, so that mixture can be filled to the chilies later.

3.     Now, cut the chilies from the middle, in a way that seeds can be removed without cutting the surface of the chilly so that when chicken and mixture is added, it would not be dropped. Insert chicken chunks in the chilies plus the cheese mixture with syringe to every chilly. After doing this task, put these chilies in the fridge for one hour so that the whole mixture stays firm in the chilies.

4.     Mix the egg white in a bowl, add some salt and pepper in it and add some flour. Then dip those chilies in this mixture for coat. Roll all the chilies into the bread crumbs, dip in a milk and again roll in the bread crumbs for thick coating.

5.     Stay these coated chilies in the fridge for again 15 minutes so that the coating can settle properly

6.     Now Fry these Peri-Peri bites in hot oil until they get golden in color.

7.     Your Peri- Peri Bites are ready. Serve them with your favorite’s sauces, ketchup, Peri-Peri sauce
