Heat up your winter with Nando’s new menu items this January 22 on National Hot Sauce Day, the spiciest day of the year.
This special day goes beyond just enjoying everyone’s favourite spicy sauce; it's an exploration into the history and cultural significance of PERi-PERi (the African Birds Eye Chilli), a key ingredient in Nando’s distinctive hot sauce and flavours.
For centuries, the people of Southeast Africa have used PERi-PERi to bring fire to their food. It’s the rich soil and blistering sunshine that the African Bird’s Eye Chilli grows into its fiery best, leading to the flavour that's known and loved today.
The new dishes promise to be full of PERi-PERi flavour, perfect for food enthusiasts looking for new taste adventures. Some of the spicy new menu items include:
