A simple, flavour-packed marinade inspired by the classic Nando’s flavour. Olive oil, lime, garlic and warm spices come together to create a zesty marinade with a gentle chilli kick, perfect for juicy grilled chicken.

This Nando’s-inspired marinade is bright, smoky and full of flavour. Lime and garlic bring freshness while paprika, chilli and oregano create that signature spicy kick. My personal favourite for marinating chicken before grilling or roasting.
