If you're yearning for the vibrant flavours of Nando's famous Peri Peri chicken but fancy a healthier twist, the air fryer is your new best friend. This quick and easy recipe transforms succulent chicken into a spicy, mouth-watering delight, perfect for a midweek dinner or weekend feast.

Begin by marinating your chicken in a generous coating of Peri Peri sauce, allowing the spices to infuse for at least an hour—ideally overnight for an explosion of flavour. Once marinated, preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Place the chicken in the basket, ensuring there's enough space for air circulation, which is key for that crispy finish.

Cook for around 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. The result?

Serve it up with a side of garlic bread and a refreshing salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
