What is Nando's
Nando’s was born in South Africa when one afternoon in 1987, two friends went for lunch at a humble Portuguese eatery. As their meal drew to a close, they knew they’d tasted something that had to be shared. PERi-PERi was about to make its journey from Rosettenville to the world.
It all started in Mozambique, home of the hot sun, rich soil... and African Bird’s Eye Chillies. Also known as PERi-PERi. Small but mighty, these chillies have been used for centuries in local Mozambiquan cooking. The Portuguese then added a squeeze of lemon and kick of garlic to make the first PERi-PERi sauce. They found it was the ultimate baste for flame-grilling chicken.
Our chicken is marinated in PERi-PERi for 24 hours, flame-grilled and basted to the spice level of your choosing.
The other Southern Chicken
You already know southern chicken, but have you tried The Other Southern Chicken? We’re coming to the Southern USA, bringing our flame-grilled chicken to the home of deep-fried chicken. We may be different, but we’re more alike than you might think. We’re also from ‘the South’… South Africa. You like to grill, we like to braai, you like hot sauce, we like PERi-PERi, you like sweet tea, we like Rooibos tea, you love football, we love rugby. Let’s celebrate our amazing differences and similarities by sharing a taste of The Other Southern Chicken together.
