Ok, complete cooking noob here. I want to start taking my own meals to work on weekends (chicken and rice). I've bought a load of chicken breasts and Im gonna cook them and freeze them and thaw em out day before work etc.

I've bought some nando's peri peri sauce 'hot' - do I apply this to the chicken BEFORE or AFTER cooking them? The bottle doesn't say.

Cheers!

Here's a recipe I use regularly for peri peri chicken. Home made is far nicer than the stuff you get in Nandos :)

If you're using the pre-bought sauce then I would apply before *and* after cooking for best results.


Thanks dude, I'll try that recipe in the next batch I cook up. Yeah I've already bought the sauce so may aswell use it up.

Just spread a thin covering over each chicken breast before going in the oven? Hopefully willy stop it from drying up too much!

Haha my bad on the typo, thats worrying, did I subconsciously write that? :O

Id marinade them for a day or so, but the chicken has a best before date of tomorrow and I daren't risk it haha.

What I'll have to do is add some sauce before cooking (now) and then freeze them once cooked. When I thaw them out for work I'll add a bit more sauce before dumping them in the lunch box.

As long as I know I can add the sauce before oven cooking thats fine, didn't want it to go all burnt and such like.
