I recently discovered that Nando's do burgers, so two Sundays ago I decided to try one. I ordered the classic chicken burger,which is chicken, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise (I ordered it without the tomato though). When I placed my order the guy asked me how hot I wanted my perri perri sauce. This took me slightly aback as I thought that the classic chicken burger had no perri perri sauce. Anyway, I asked for it hot. When my burger arrived some of the perri perri sauce spilled onto my finger. When I licked it off I got a surprise. It was a lot hotter than I was expecting and I began to regret my decision. However, when I bit into the burger it was a lot less spicy. It had a decent level of spiciness but not overly so. The most notable thing about this burger was that the perri perri sauce really overpowered the mayonnaise. This was a slight shame as I was not anticipating perri perri sauce in the first place and was expecting mayonnaise. Having said this, the perri perri sauce was quite tasty, just not what I was hoping for. Another thing I noticed about this burger was that the sauces were somewhat unevenly distributed. Some mouthfuls were spicier than others. Some were tangier, and some were sweeter. The chicken itself was generally good but a little tougher than I would like in some places. This is only a minor quibble though. Finally, after the burger was gone, the flavours lingered on my palate for quite a while: a welcome conclusion to a reasonable burger.
