Nando’s-style rice is always a winner, and this version is made all in one tray. Spicy red rice topped with flavour-packed wings, baked until perfect in the oven: it’s a fuss-free dish with very little washing-up, as we love to dig straight in from the same dish, with everyone choosing their own section to eat from! Perfect for a midweek meal that’s comforting and full of flavour, but more importantly, easy.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/400°F. Separate the wings into drumettes and flats to make 12 pieces in total. In a large bowl, coat the chicken pieces with the peri peri seasoning and set aside.
Step 2
In a large ovenproof saucepan, combine the rice, spices, tomato paste and vegetable stock, mixing it all together until the rice is a vibrant red.
Step 3
Arrange the chicken wings on top of the rice in a circle, then cover the pan with a lid and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the lid and sprinkle over the pepper slices, then transfer to the oven and cook for another 10–15 minutes, uncovered, to allow the wings to get crispy.
Step 5
Scatter with fresh coriander and serve with lemon wedges, getting stuck in straight from the dish Enjoy!
