Arsenal FC’s Bukayo Saka is Nando’s sauce maker. The footballer has given his own spicy kick to the Nando’s Peri-Peri sauce. Saka created the sauce, combining his love for BBQ and tomato with the brand’s much-loved Peri-Peri.
Saka said the sauce mixes sweet, spiciness, and smokiness. “I love it and can’t wait for everyone to try it.” The all-new ‘Peri-Peri Saka‘ sauce packs a fiery kick with a medium-level heat and garlic and smoked paprika flavors.
The right winger for Arsenal shared that he’s a big Nando’s fan. “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. 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 right one.
As part of the creative process, Saka, 22, features in a video campaign ‘Yes Chef’. He joins the Nando’s team to create the perfect sauce, and scores perfectly.
