This version of my Nandos Chicken Burger is simply divine. Nandos Burgers are enjoyed by many local citizens of South Africa, as well as a huge amount of foreigners.

This recipe will have you preparing chicken burgers on a regular basis. It can be altered in taste using the variety of Nandos sauces. Don’t forget – to make it really authentic, it’s best to have Portuguese rolls but if it isn’t easily available to you then any other regular buns will do.
