welcome friends it is Saturday morning and if you are new to the channel on
Saturday mornings I searched for a recipe on YouTube and then we make the
most watched version of that recipe so today I want to do a Nando's chicken
recipe and so when we do that search and then we filter that by viewcount okay so
the the first video is an ad so not a recipe the second and third recipes are
both for peri-peri chicken now I understand that Nando's is Peri Peri
chicken but I'm looking for a recipe that says Nando's right in the title so
that ends us up with sorted food at 1.3 million views from eight years ago so
let's take a look at that one okay it looks pretty simple I really like the
way that sorted breaks down a recipe into the most simple ingredients so
let's get going and give this a try okay I don't want it to seem like I'm taking
a dig at the boys from sorted really love their channel I love what they're
doing but this is a cheater recipe um and I say that with a lot of love I mean
I know that cheater often sounds derogatory but to me a cheater recipe is
something where you've simplified the recipe but still kept the main elements
of flavor and you've simplified it to make it easier for people to get into
cooking so people are gonna try it they're not going to be intimidated by
the recipe or they're gonna cook more often because you've made it a little
bit easier for people to get into the kitchen and I think that's a great idea
now Gordon Ramsay might not like it there's a lot of chefs who would say oh
that's terrible don't do that but I think it's great if it gets people
cooking and then inspires them to go on and try to figure out what the rest of
the recipe should be now I've already put into the little food processor
garlic and time and I've got these little Chili's
and I'm gonna see how hot they are try a little bit yeah kind of medium hot not
terribly hot just sort of medium hot so I'm probably gonna put four of these in
alright let's go for five let's go for five Chili's now these aren't exactly
the Chili's that the boys used not everything is available everywhere and a
lot of times I find especially with chilies what a Chili's called here where
I buy it and what a Chili's called somewhere else completely different so I
would always say to you taste test your Chili's before you put them in a dish
that way you can fine-tune the heat and make it exactly what you want to be as
hot or not hot or flavorful as you want so next in is some lemon juice
so to squeeze this lemon so in past videos and especially lately the Coca
Cola video that we did last week or a couple of weeks ago I said freshly
squozen and that just set off a firestorm of discussion about whether
squozen was actually a word and some people argue that it is so freshly
squozen lemon juice in next we have olive oil and red wine vinegar what's
the vinegars in we'll give this a whiz okay let's give it a taste
whoa maybe that last pepper was one pepper to me okay so it goes in and you
marinate the chicken now in their video they put the chicken immediately into
the oven on their website they talked about leaving it to marinate overnight
or as long as you can I've got a couple of hours so I'm gonna
leave this in the fridge to marinate so make sure it's well coated and rubbed in
put the lid on and stick that in the fridge for a couple hours okay let's get
this into the oven now I've got a little baking tray and I'm just gonna stick
this chicken right on there spread it out and get that in the oven
now got the sauce left over this is not part of their recipe but I'm gonna take
some veg I've got some cut-up potato carrot and peppers and I'm gonna mix
that in sauce get it really well coated
now I'm gonna stick this on to another baking tray drop this in the oven right
beside the chicken
so um not quite as dark and beautiful skin as as you expect it well as what
they showed in their recipes but you know that's that's what our oven did
yeah I mean that could be the difference between a fan oven and yeah in our oven
so this is the most watched Nando's chicken recipe on the youtubes from
sorted food now the veg not part of their recipe but I like mm-hmm so hot
okay water flavor there's a lot of flavor
there um eggs are not part of the recipe but I had that leftover marinade from
the chicken oh so I just toss the veg in in the marinade and then stuck it in the
oven and thought you know let's see what happens so the chickens very moist under
why couldn't come up with very moist no you told me if marinated that makes
perfect sense here's very logic favorites very
pleasant chicken I can see why it's why so many people like eating at Nando's
yeah we've eaten there once there's one intro mm-hmm we time right now I'm
trying to remember how do the veggies work out the budges roast vegetables
with a kick mm-hmm
I should be good so it's gonna work out well I like that it's a cheater recipe
simplified ingredients which is fantastic because it's easy to do when a
weeknight yeah right so in pan I let that marinate in the in the fridge for
about an hour and a half or two hours which is the timeframe that I had to but
they showed in their video that you could just shove it right in the oven
and I think it would work out alright so give it a try
sorted food enjoy
you
