If you only know Dixy Chicken for fried chicken, the peri peri menu is the part of the menu you have probably walked past. It is the grilled range: chicken marinated in peri peri spices — one branch claims a 48-hour marinade — then grilled rather than fried, and basted in a sauce you choose. Think of it as Dixy’s answer to Nando’s, sold at chicken-shop prices.
The short version: the peri peri line runs across burgers, wings, strips, whole chickens, platters, wraps and even pizza at branches with pizza ovens. Prices move around a lot between branches — a peri burger can be £3.99 off a menu board in Birmingham or £6.49 on Deliveroo — so this guide uses price ranges gathered from delivery listings and in-store boards in October 2026. Where a single figure is given, it is the most commonly seen price.
What is the Dixy Chicken peri peri menu?
The standard Dixy menu is fried chicken in a classic coating or the spicier “sizzler” breading. The peri peri range breaks from that completely. The chicken is marinated in peri peri spices and grilled, which makes it the lighter option on the menu and the one people reach for when they want the Nando’s experience without Nando’s prices.
The defining choice is the sauce. Most branches offering the range let you pick from Lemon & Herb, Mango & Lime, Mild, Hot and Extra Hot. A few branches keep it simpler with just Mild and Hot, so if you are chasing Extra Hot it is worth checking your local branch’s menu before you order. The sauce is basted on during grilling rather than squirted on at the end, so the heat goes through the meat instead of sitting on top of it.
It is a national line, not a one-branch experiment. We found peri peri sections on Dixy menus in Birmingham (Erdington, Kingstanding, Handsworth), Manchester (Radcliffe, Oxford Road, Wilbraham Road, Newton Heath, Rochdale, Cheetham Hill, Longsight), Nottingham (Sneinton), Newcastle (Fourth Street, Whitley Bay), Crawley, Blackburn and Walsall. If your local Dixy is a smaller high-street shop, it may not carry the full range — the platters and pizza need more kitchen kit — but burgers, wings and strips are widely available. Our branch finder can point you at your nearest shop to check.
Dixy Chicken peri peri menu prices (2026)
Two things to know before the numbers. First, delivery prices on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats run higher than ordering at the counter — sometimes by £1 to £2 per item. Second, Dixy branches are franchises, so each shop sets its own prices. The ranges below cover what we saw across branches in October 2026.
Peri peri burgers
| Item | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peri Peri Burger | £3.99 – £6.49 | Grilled peri fillet in a bun; cheapest on in-store boards |
| Double Peri Peri Burger | £5.99 – £9.49 | Two fillets; top end is delivery pricing |
| Peri Peri Burger Meal | £7.99 – £10.49 | Burger, fries and a drink |
| Grilled Loaded Peri Box | £11.99 | Burger, side, 3 peri wings, fries and drink |
| ROYAL Burger (Handsworth only) | £9.99 | Flame-grilled peri fillet stacked on a 4oz beef patty with double cheese |
The standard peri burger is the value entry point. At £3.99 to £4.99 on in-store boards it undercuts a Nando’s burger by several pounds, and even at delivery prices it stays under £6.50. The ROYAL burger is a Handsworth-only curiosity worth knowing about if you are in Birmingham: a peri chicken fillet stacked on top of a beef burger, which is exactly as excessive as it sounds.
Peri peri wings and strips
| Item | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peri Wings (5 pc) | £5.49 – £6.99 | Sauce of your choice |
| Peri Wings (8 pc) | from £9.49 | |
| Peri Wings (10 pc) | £9.49 (meal) | With fries and drink at some branches |
| Peri Wings (12 pc) | from £11.99 | |
| 5 Wings Meal | £6.99 – £8.49 | Wings, fries and drink |
| Peri Strips (3 pc) | £3.99 | |
| Peri Strips (5 pc) | £5.99 – £8.99 | |
| Peri Strips (8 pc) | from £11.49 | |
| 4 Strips Meal | £7.99 | Strips, fries and drink |
Grilled whole chicken (quarter, half, full)
| Item | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter Peri Chicken | £5.49 – £6.49 | |
| Half Peri Chicken | £8.49 – £10.49 | |
| Full Peri Chicken | £11.99 – £16.49 | |
| Half Chicken Meal | £8.49 – £10.99 | With fries and drink |
| Full Chicken Meal | £12.99 – £13.99 | With fries and drink; strong value for two |
The whole grilled birds are where the peri menu makes its case against Nando’s most directly. A full peri chicken meal at £12.99 to £13.99 feeds two comfortably, and the chicken itself is marinated rather than just sauced. If you are comparing with the fried side of the menu, our UK menu prices guide has the full standard range.
Platters and sharing boxes
| Item | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full Peri Platter | £13.99 – £17.99 | Full chicken, 2 fries, 2 drinks |
| Deluxe Platter | £17.99 – £21.99 | Full chicken, 8 wings, 2 fries, 2 sides; some branches add a 1.5L bottle |
| Peri Grill Box Meal | £14.99 | 2 peri burgers, 6 wings, 2 peri fries, coleslaw, 2 drinks (Radcliffe) |
| Family Platter | £26.99 | 2 full chickens, 10 wings, 3 strips, 3 peri fries, 2 sides, 1.5L bottle (Radcliffe) |
Wraps, rice, salad and sides
| Item | Price range | Notes |

| Peri Peri Wrap | £4.49 – £7.49 | |
| Peri Peri Wrap Meal | £7.99 | With fries and drink |
| Peri Peri Ricebox | £7.99 | Strips on spicy basmati rice (Handsworth) |
| Peri Peri Chicken Rice | from £8.99 | (Erdington) |
| Peri Peri Salad | £6.49 – £8.49 | The lightest thing on the menu |
| Peri Peri Loaded Fries | £8.99 | (Erdington) |
| Peri Peri Panini | £7.99 – £8.99 | |
| Dixy Munch Box | £8.49 | Seasoned rice, salad, special sauce, 4 strips and a can (Crawley) |
Peri peri pizza
| Item | Price range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Peri Peri Hot Pizza (9″) | £6.99 | (Radcliffe) |
| Peri-Peri Chicken Pizza | from £7.79 | (Dixy Pizza Walsall) |
| Peri Peri Hot Pizza | £6.99 | (Longsight Manchester) |
| 7″ Dixy Peri Peri Spicy Pizza | £8.99 | (Whitley Bay) |
Pizza only appears at branches with pizza ovens — Walsall’s Dixy Pizza operation is the most developed, while Radcliffe, Longsight and Whitley Bay list a handful of peri pizzas each. If pizza is the main event rather than a side quest, check the branch’s full listing before travelling.
Best value on the peri peri menu
Ranked by food per pound, the whole birds win. A full peri chicken at £11.99 to £16.49 is roughly the price of two burger meals and feeds two adults with leftovers. The full chicken meal at £12.99 to £13.99 — chicken, fries and a drink — is the sweet spot for two people who want the grilled range without cooking.
For groups, the family platter at £26.99 (two full chickens, 10 wings, strips, peri fries, sides and a big bottle of drink) is the obvious order, though it seems to be a Radcliffe special rather than a national item. For one person, the 5-wings meal at £6.99 to £8.49 or the peri burger meal at £7.99 to £10.49 are the sensible picks. The loaded boxes — the £11.99 grilled loaded peri box, the £14.99 peri grill box — look generous but are worth pricing against the individual items at your branch, because the saving varies.
Is the peri peri chicken halal?
Yes — the peri peri chicken is halal, same as the rest of the Dixy menu. The chain’s halal status works branch by branch: each shop holds its own certification, usually from the HMC or HFA, and the certificate is normally displayed at the counter. The peri range doesn’t change anything about that; it is the same supply chain, different marinade. Our halal guide explains how to check your specific branch, which matters more than any blanket statement.
Peri peri vs Nando’s: how does it compare?
The comparison is unavoidable, so let’s make it directly. A Nando’s flame-grilled chicken burger sits around £8 to £9 on its own; Dixy’s peri burger is £3.99 to £6.49. A Nando’s full platter feeds four for roughly £30+; Dixy’s deluxe platter does a similar job for £17.99 to £21.99. The gap narrows on delivery apps, where Dixy branch pricing creeps up, but in-store Dixy is comfortably cheaper across the board.
What you give up is consistency. Nando’s is Nando’s everywhere; Dixy is a franchise network, so the peri menu, the sauce options and the prices all depend on the branch. The other honest difference is the room: Nando’s is a sit-down restaurant, most Dixys are takeaways. If you want the full comparison treatment, our Dixy vs Pepe’s Piri Piri guide covers the other peri peri rival in detail.
Calories and nutrition
Grilled instead of fried makes the peri range the lower-calorie way to eat at Dixy, though “lower” is doing some work here — a peri burger meal with fries is still a burger meal with fries. The peri salad at £6.49 to £8.49 and the grilled strips are the genuinely lighter picks. For full numbers, our calories and nutrition breakdown covers the menu in detail.
Common questions
Is Dixy Chicken peri peri the same as Nando’s?
No, but it is the same idea: flame-style grilled chicken marinated in peri peri spices with a choice of heat levels. Dixy’s version is cheaper and sold through takeaway branches rather than sit-down restaurants, and the exact menu varies by branch.
What sauces can you get on the peri peri chicken?
Most branches offer Lemon & Herb, Mango & Lime, Mild, Hot and Extra Hot. Some keep it to Mild and Hot only, so check your branch if you want a specific heat.
Is the peri peri menu available at every Dixy Chicken?
No. It is widespread — confirmed in Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Crawley, Blackburn and Walsall — but smaller branches may only carry burgers, wings and strips, and the platters and pizza need branches with the right kitchen setup.
Is Dixy peri peri chicken grilled or fried?
Grilled. That is the whole point of the range: marinated, grilled chicken as an alternative to the fried classic and sizzler lines.
How much is a peri peri burger meal at Dixy Chicken?
Between £7.99 and £10.49 depending on the branch, for the burger, fries and a drink. In-store boards are usually at the cheaper end; delivery apps at the higher end.
What is the cheapest peri peri item?
The single peri burger at £3.99 on in-store boards, or 3 peri strips at £3.99. Both are among the cheapest ways to eat at Dixy full stop.
