Nandos - Half Chicken (True), 1/2 chicken (1 serving(s))

Choose the half chicken with skin removed if desired, and ask for no sweet, sticky, or sugary basting sauces; use lemon, herbs, vinegar, or hot sauce without added sugar instead.

Replace chips, garlic bread, corn, or sugary drinks with a side salad, non-starchy vegetables, or coleslaw without sweet dressing.

Have water or sparkling water with the meal rather than regular soft drinks, fruit juice, milkshakes, or sweetened alcoholic mixers.

Start with the salad or vegetables and eat the chicken first; leave any starchy side until last and keep its portion small.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help blunt the post-meal rise.

If ordering a side, consider a small portion of chickpeas, lentils, or beans prepared without sugar-heavy sauce instead of fries or bread.
