1/2 Chicken sits 6th of 13 on price in Nando's PERi-PERi Chicken section, at £8.70 and 579 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
A chicken breast and a leg, served on the bone with crispy skin. Flame-grilled in your favourite spice.
The £8.70 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About Nando's 1/2 Chicken
How to order 1/2 Chicken at Nando's
1/2 Chicken is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the Nando's app, for collection or for delivery. It is filed under PERi-PERi Chicken. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
Nando's 1/2 Chicken price in 2026
The Nando's 1/2 Chicken price in 2026 is £8.70 on the figures we hold, with branch to branch variation between £8.70 and £8.95. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, so read it as a ceiling. Within the PERi-PERi Chicken section that puts it 6th of 13 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
A lighter choice in the same section
5 Chicken Wings sits in the same part of the menu at 393 kcal, which is 186 fewer than this for £6.95. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Saturated fat
8g of saturates is 40% of the 20g reference intake. That figure is the one worth watching over a week rather than a meal, and it is the number that separates two items with similar calorie counts.
Salt worth knowing about
At 1.7g of salt it accounts for 28% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, a noticeable share of a day in one item. Salt in restaurant food is fixed in the recipe, so the only control you have is what else goes alongside it.
Protein for the calories
It gives 13.6g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 5.3g across everything we hold for Nando's. That is a strong ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 6th of 13 in its section.
Pro Tips for Ordering 1/2 Chicken
Ordering it at the counter
Ask for it without one element, or without a sauce, and the total drops below the published figure. Staff handle that request routinely. The number in the table is the standard build as Nando's makes it. The item on its own rather than as a meal is the larger saving on both price and energy.
What 579 kcal means here
579 kcal is about level with the PERi-PERi Chicken average. That is a full meal's worth on its own, before anything else goes on the tray. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
