About the Hungry Jack's 3 Peri Peri Saucy Tenders

Three Peri Peri Saucy Tenders are $8.32 and 2,031 kJ. Southern Style tenders tossed in peri peri sauce, and this is the hottest thing Hungry Jack's sells.

Peri peri is built on the African bird's eye chilli with lemon and garlic behind it. Unlike chipotle, which arrives with smoke, or Korean BBQ, which arrives with sugar, peri peri leads with acid and heat and does not soften either of them. It is sharp from the first bite and it stays sharp.

The sodium figure is the one to know about: 2,730mg for three tenders, which is well past the 2,300mg daily reference in a single side order. That is the highest sodium of any three piece item on the menu, and it comes from the salt in the peri peri seasoning rather than from the crumb.

Carbs are the lowest of the three saucy options at 33.7g, since peri peri carries almost no sugar. Protein is 23.5g and fat is 28.2g, the highest of the three. At 2,031 kJ it sits between the Chipotle and Korean BBQ versions on energy.

Who it suits: anyone who orders extra hot as a matter of course. It is genuinely the hottest item on the Hungry Jack's menu, above the Angry Whopper and above the spicy chicken burgers, and it does not have cheese or mayonnaise anywhere in it to take the edge off.

Pair them with Large Frozen Drinks at $2.00, or take five pieces at $11.51 if you know what you are getting into.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's 3 Peri Peri Saucy Tenders at Home?

Peri peri is bird's eye chilli, lemon and garlic. It needs blending rather than simmering, and it needs to be made fresh, because the lemon dulls within a day. Makes 2 servings.

Tips

  • Make it fresh. The lemon in peri peri dulls noticeably by the next day and the sauce loses its edge.
  • Roast the capsicum rather than using it raw. It adds body so the sauce clings instead of running straight off.
  • Wear gloves handling six bird's eye chillies, or wash your hands twice before touching your face.

Variations

  • Halve the chillies for a version most people can eat comfortably.
  • Chipotle in adobo instead gives 3 Smoky Chipotle Saucy Tenders.
  • The same sauce on grilled chicken instead of fried is closer to a Portuguese chicken shop.

Serve with something cold and dairy based, plus plain chips to reset the palate between pieces.
