What are you doing this Heritage Day? #NandosGrillers

Posted on by

The Dadics are BIG fans of Nando’s – we’ve have “Nando’s Mondays” (sorry, meat-free Monday hippies!), which really means that Dave grabs a family pack on the way home, I don’t cook and we all go to bed before 8pm. That’s how we roll on a Monday … the sooner it’s over, the better as far as we’re concerned!

I’m also a fan of Nando’s Souperstars, who I joined at a recent pop-up soup kitchen at the Lindela Repatriation Centre, where we helped prepare and then serve soup and bread to inmates as well as some gorgeous littles at a nearby settlement.

I found out recently that Nandos was hosting the 2012 International Grillers Challenge over the Heritage Day weekend and that they’re currently on the hunt for the most passionate grilled peri-peri chicken fan or “Fando” to be a guest judge in this prestigious event.

The 2012 International Grillers Challenge is a grill-off between the best Nando’s front grillers in the world – the ladies and gents who actually grill your chicken in Nando’s stores across the globe. The top 40 international finalists have already been selected and will compete in the “AFRICA AWAITS – 2012 International Grillers Challenge” on  the 23rd of September 2012 in Jozi.

Nando’s is looking for one of their very own grilled peri-peri chicken fans to be a guest judge in this competition. Fans or Fando’s as Nando’s likes to call them, can submit their grilled peri-peri chicken recipes, which will then be narrowed down to a top 10 by Nando’s. Votes will then be open to the public to see who should be crowned ultimate Nando’s Fando.

Readers of One of the Boys: do you have what it takes? Are YOU the ultimate Fando? (Love that!)

If you reckon you are, submit your best grilled peri-peri chicken recipe via the Nando’s Grillers app on Facebook – this could win you a place on the 2012 International Grillers Challenge judges panel as well as an all-expenses paid, action packed weekend in Jozi from 22-24 September – VIP style. Sound awesome?! Submit your best peri-peri grilled chicken recipe NOW!

Nando’s has also given me 2 x R150 vouchers for readers of One of The Boys! To stand a chance of winning, you’ll need to:

  • subscribe to email updates of One of The Boys (fill in your email add and click “Sihn me up!

  1. Have subscribed to your blog, liked their page and submitted my recipe.
    Here is my recipe:

    1 Large Family sized chicken.
    1 cup of Nando’s Hot Peri-peri sauce

    Method:

    Take the chicken, cut it open and flatten it out.
    Then take your fingers and loosen up the skin of the chicken so that there’s a space between the chicken flesh and the skin.
    Take the Nando’s Hot Peri-peri sauce and rub it underneath the skin, on top of the chicken flesh.
    Then put in on an oven plate. Salt and pepper it and place in oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes.
    Take out of oven and let rest for 15 min.
    Cut and serve with rice.
