A couple of posts ago, I wrote about my introduction to a tasty and addicting product from a company by the name of Nando’s. This stuff is amazing!
When Nando’s sent me some of their products to try, I dove right in anxious to taste what they had to offer. When I took a look at their Chickenland Peri-Peri Marinade I admit that I was a little nervous. You see… I love spicy food but I love spicy food that you can taste. Not spicy food that makes your eyes and nose water and forces you to down an enormous glass of the nearest beverage. I do not get a lot of pleasure our of making myself sweat while I eat. The Chickenland Peri-Peri Marinade was rated "Hot" on Nando’s scale which I had convinced myself meant 10 alarm fire hot. I wanted to try it, but I kept putting it off and putting it off.
Last week I was browsing Nando’s onlne store trying to narrow my order of wants down to something a little more realistic than one case of everything. While I was there, I took a quick trip over to their blog and noticed a review of the Chickenland Peri-Peri Marinade written by the folks at The Hot Zone blog. You can read their review by going here, but basically reading it convinced me that I think I could handle the "hot" factor.
Well, Nando’s has done it again. This "hot" marinade is hot, but it is not "call 911" hot. It has the perfect blend of spices and herbs and the heat is just right. My husband and I both raved about the chicken and my kids loved it too.
I know I do not have to convince those of you who have tried the products by Nando’s to go out and grab some. For those of you who were in the dark about this great stuff like me, get over to their online store today and order yourself up some delicious marinade, hot sauce, grinders and rub. From those of us who like it hot to those of you who like to sweat and cry when you eat. Nando’s has something for everyone.
Kristen,I bought Sriracha sauce in the International isle at the groceries.Believe me, it’s so hot I don’t think even Indian Vindaloo is that spicy!I don’t know Nanado’s can beat that,but I will have to try!;D
You Rock Kristen!!
I love spicy food too but you’re right, there’s good spicy and bad spicy!
i love the little googly-eyed chicken graphic with the heart in his belly. awesome picture of the grill, looks yummy!
I love the kick! I will have to give it a try.
Hey, thanks for letting us know about this. I love hot stuff–but not when it scorches my tonque. This sounds great.
Hum, I like it hot, not really hot! Nice store!
I am so excited to read more posts about Nando’s. You have officially hooked in one of your readers (that would be me). I love this stuff! and – I can’t wait for you to try more before I decide to buy it 😉
Sounds delicious! Wonder if they ship to the UK??
I love Nando’s…and was so thrilled to find out that one of my favorite spice shops here imports them…yey! 🙂
It’s lovely to meet another person who can appreciate hot sauce that compliments the food and gives good heat instead of just setting it on fire! I’m always on the lookout for great hot sauces since most brands are disappointingly mild or cover up the food. I’ll definlaty give this one a try.
I love Nando’s sauces (and eating in Nando’s restaurants here in the UK, even if there isn’t one in Edinburgh yet). Freya – it doesn’t need to be shipped to the UK, you can get the sauces in supermarkets here and they are goooooooood!
Ooh!! The hotter the better. 🙂
I’ll have to try this.
Your photo of the chicken on the grill is great. I really should seek out this Nando! I love spicy but I want taste not oblivion!
I’ve been lurking and going through your archives for a bit, but I had to stop by on this post. I adore Nando’s! They have restaurants in the UK, and I’m absolutely addicted to their chicken.
