NANDO’S has put a previously secret item on all of its UK menus for the first time ever.
The beloved chicken restaurant chain has announced one of its new dishes would be accompanied by a “secret sauce”.
Nando’s Extra Saucy Wings launched today across all UK restaurants and they are available for both eat-in and delivery.
Accompanying the wings is the PERi-Flamer, a sauce that had previously only been available to those who knew to ask for it.
The off-menu item has developed a cult following in recent years, with the most diehard fans asking for it on their go-to orders.
PERi-Tamer and Hot sauces combine to make the “sweet, smoky and spicy” PERi-Flamer sauce.
Now, the restaurant chain is adding it to its menus with its all-new Extra Saucy Wings.
The new dish is available with three, five or even ten flame-grilled chicken wings covered in the PERi-Flamer sauce and drizzled with a “creamy” yoghurt dressing.
Diners can grab the dish at their nearest Nando’s and can also enjoy the new item for free on Nando’s Rewards.
A spokesperson for the chain said: “Nando’s just got even saucier with the launch of Extra Saucy Wings.
“The new menu items is made with PERi-Flamer, a secret sauce that’s only been available to those who know to ask for it.
“Extra Saucy Wings launch in all UK & Ireland restaurants today and will be available to Eat-in, Collect and on Nando’s Delivery.
“Fans can also enjoy Extra Saucy Wings for free on Nando’s Rewards.”
This comes after the restaurant chain announced in January it was bringing back a fan-favourite menu item last seen four years ago.
Following a widespread outcry, Nando’s decided to bring back its famous Creamy Salad Dressing for the first time since 2021.
“You read that right – Creamy Salad Dressing is coming back to steal the hearts of the nation,” the chain said.
“With superfans promising they’ll ‘never stop asking’ – Nando’s is finally answering their daily demands, and the legendary sauce will be recoupling with all UK and Ireland restaurants on Tuesday February 4.”
According to Nando’s there’s been “uproar” since the sauce was removed and fans have long demanded its return.
Why is everyone obsessed with Nando's?
Nando’s has indeed cultivated a significant fanbase and cultural presence, particularly in countries like the UK. Here, we reveal a few reasons as to why…
Unique and Flavorful Food
Nando’s is renowned for its peri-peri chicken, which is marinated for 24 hours and flame-grilled to perfection.
The peri-peri sauce offers a distinctive and spicy flavour that sets it apart from other fast-casual dining options.

Customers can tailor their meals to their spice tolerance and taste preferences with Nando’s range of heat levels, from mild to extra hot. This level of customisation makes it appealing to a wide audience.
Consistent Quality
Nando’s has a reputation for maintaining high standards across its global locations. The consistency in the quality of food and service helps build a loyal customer base.
Casual yet Trendy Ambiance
The restaurant offers a relaxed dining environment that is both casual and stylish, making it a popular choice for various occasions, from family dinners to social outings with friends.
Healthy-ish Options
Compared to other fast-food chains, Nando’s offers relatively healthier options, with a focus on grilled chicken and a variety of sides, including salads and vegetables.
Nando’s said: “Comments have flooded Nando’s socials for years and fans even started a Change.org petition to save the much-loved icon.
“It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally time to put baby back in the corner sauce station.”
The popular restaurant has also teased further returns in 2025, though stopped short of revealing what those menu items could be.
It said: “And that’s not all, there’s more to come so fans should keep their eyes out for more saucy news about their one true love.”
