I made a Nando’s butterfly chicken fakeaway – it’s been hailed ‘spot on’ and is half the price
A FOODIE has revealed her Nando’s fakeaway recipe and it looks “spot on”, according to fans.
Mia, 23, often uses her social media account to share her top tips and tricks when it comes to making meals at home on a budget.
In one such video, she revealed how she made butterfly chicken in the style of the restaurant chain.
Taking some chicken breast out of the packaging, she started by cutting it up to turn it into a butterfly shape.
“You could always use chicken sizzler steaks if you’re not a fan of cutting chicken,” she shared as she got to work. “I don’t really mind too much so…”
Placing all the chicken pieces into a glass bowl, she then poured Nando’s medium peri peri sauce all over them.
She then added salt, pepper and Aldi-branded peri peri salt.
Mixing this all together, she placed it to one side to marinate while she prepared the straight cut chips.
“I then put some chips in the oven and added some peri peri seasoning on top,” she explained. “Just give it a little shake and put it in the oven.”
TikTok user @miasoper12 then moved on to prepare the garlic bread as she minced three garlic cloves into a bowl.
“I then added some butter, some mixed herbs, a little bit of olive oil as well and some garlic granules,” she continued.
“I spreaded this all over the bread rolls and I put these in the oven for 10 minutes.”
Once these two elements were dealt with, she started on the chicken by spraying olive oil onto a griddle pan.
“You could fry it or do it in the oven, but I feel like a griddle pan is the best,” she said.
She then placed several slices of halloumi on a plate and put some halloumi seasoning over it from Aldi.
“And then I plated up, so we had some coleslaw with it and here’s the garlic bread, so good,” she continued.
“We had some chips and some corn on the cob as well and then here’s the butterfly chicken – very impressed with this.
“Then I grilled the halloumi for a few minutes at the end.”
People were quick to comment on the video as one person wrote: “Looks banging fair play,” to which Mia replied: “Thank you,” followed by a smiling face emoji.
A second posted: “Spot on, and half the price,” which Mia agreed with as she responded: “Thanks and yes that’s the best part!” followed by a smiling face emoji.
While a third added: “that looks unreal,” alongside a heart eyes emoji and fire emoji.
