Is the Butterfly Burger available for delivery?
Yes. Order through Nando’s website, mobile application (app), or third-party delivery services for home delivery.
How does the Butterfly Burger compare to other Nando’s burgers?
The Butterfly Burger contains more protein than the standard chicken burger (42g vs 32g). According to Nando’s nutritional guide, the butterflying technique creates a juicier, more flavorful burger experience.
What makes the butterflying technique special?
The butterflying technique involves cutting the chicken breast horizontally and opening it like a book. This method creates a thinner cut that cooks more evenly and absorbs more PERI-PERI flavor.
Is the Butterfly Burger suitable for sharing?
The Butterfly Burger serves one person. For sharing, Nando’s offers platters like the Full Platter or No Bones Platter that serve 3-4 people.
Does the Butterfly Burger come with sauce?
Yes, it comes with PERI-PERI sauce already basted onto the chicken. Additional sauces (Garlic, Wild Herb, Lemon & Herb) are available at the sauce bar in restaurants or as add-ons when ordering online.
