Nando's Portuguese peri-peri chicken

Nando's is Portuguese chain restaurant in the UK serving mostly chicken. It is said to be quite good so I decided to see what the hype is about. I was on my own so I got a takeaway.

Well, it is not bad at all. They mixed up my order so I ended up with plain chicken instead of hot so I yet to find out what peri-peri is all about but it was not bad anyway: flavourful, smoky and not greasy. They use fresh, unfrozen chicken and you can taste that, espeically if you've ever tried Tesco's fried chicken that tastes like chicken-flavoured toilet paper.

What you see on the picture minus the salad, which I added myself, set me back £6.10, which is very good for London.

Curiously enough, in Japanese piri-piri stand for spicy, could there be a connection? After all the Portuguese are responsible for introducing chilis to Japan.
