Cook Time 50 mins
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • To marinate the chicken:
  • 1 whole chicken
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp garlic flakes
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbs oil
  • For the sauce:
  • 50g butter
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tbs mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Nandos sauce of choice
  • 1/2 cup fresh cream
  • Freshly grounded black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add and mix all of the marinade ingredients.
  • Rub the marinade onto the cleaned chicken and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  • In the meanwhile, cut the scrubbed potatoes (skin on) into wedges and place into the bottom of the air fryer basket. (I used 3 potatoes)
  • If you’re skipping the wedges, then just continue with the chicken.
  • Place the chicken onto the potato wedges and cook at 180 degrees for 50 minutes (turning halfway).
  • For the sauce:
  • Melt butter over low heat, add in the chili flakes, thyme and black pepper to taste
  • Once the butter starts to bubble, pour in the lemon juice, mayonnaise and Nandos sauce.
  • Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Turn off the heat and lastly stir in the cream.
  • Serve with roast chicken and crispy potato wedges
