About the Hungry Jack's 5 Peri Peri Saucy Tenders

Five Peri Peri Saucy Tenders are $11.51 and 3,385 kJ. Southern Style tenders tossed in peri peri sauce, and this is the item on the Hungry Jack's menu that comes with a genuine warning attached.

Sodium is 4,550mg. That is very nearly twice the 2,300mg daily reference in a single order, and it is by a wide margin the highest figure on the entire menu. Nothing else here comes close. It is worth knowing before ordering rather than after.

The heat is the other consideration. Peri peri is the hottest sauce Hungry Jack's uses, built on bird's eye chilli with lemon and garlic, and across five pieces with no dairy anywhere to soften it, the effect accumulates. The fourth tender is hotter than the first.

On the rest of the panel it reads well. Carbs are 56.1g, low for a five piece because peri peri carries almost no sugar. Protein is 39.2g and fat is 46.9g, the highest of the three saucy options.

Who it suits: chilli eaters sharing between two, which halves both the heat exposure and the sodium per person. As a solo order it is a lot of salt in one sitting.

Pair it with Large Frozen Drinks at $2.00, or drop to the three piece at $8.32.

Tips

  • Taste before tossing. Once the sauce is on the chicken there is no way back.
  • Skip the salt in the flour if you are watching sodium. The sauce brings plenty on its own.
  • Half a cup of yoghurt on the side does more for the heat than any drink will.

Variations

  • Halve it for 3 Peri Peri Saucy Tenders.
  • Chipotle instead gives 5 Smoky Chipotle Saucy Tenders, which is far easier on the sodium.
  • Grill the chicken instead of frying and the sauce works just as well.

Serve to share, with yoghurt, lemon and plain chips. Splitting it between two halves both the heat and the salt per person.
