Imagine this – Nando's rolls out another power play, adding the kick of Bukayo Saka to their spirited lineup of sauces. Introducing the limited-edition 'PERi-PERi Saka' sauce, where the Arsenal dynamo's preferred flavours stage a winning dance with Nando's legendary PERi-PERi flair.
The result? A seductive duet with smoky BBQ and tomato, sweet with a dash of heat, setting your wings ablaze, mirroring the magic that Saka brings to the field. The vibrancy of this collaboration is subtly echoed in the bottle's design. 'Saka', spelled out with chili peppers against a vivid blue backdrop. The creative genius behind this artistic marvel is Reuben Dangoor, renowned for his stunning oeuvre that adorns the walls of Emirates Stadium. Only fitting then, to have an artist endorsed by the Gunners steer this aesthetic venture.
When the sauce was introduced to the public, Saka was almost palpable in his excitement, "The sauce mixes sweet, spiciness and smokiness. I love it and can’t wait for everyone to try it. I’ve been going to Nando’s since I was little so to have my own PERi-PERi sauce in every restaurant in the country is quite mad!" Emphasising on the weight of familial approval, Saka shared, "My family’s really important to me so I wanted to make sure they liked it, too. As soon as my Dad said he was a fan, I knew it was the one."
But Saka isn't the first footballer who Nando's has invited into their sauce-game. 2020 saw the brand unveil a signature PERi-PERi experience in alliance with Nike and Jadon Sancho, stamping the ‘Sancho sauce’. Drum roll please! 'PERi-PERi Saka' is now dressing up wings at sauce stations in Nando's restaurants across the UK and Ireland, but not for forever. Mind your step guys, it's a limited-edition wonder.
