Not gonna lie, it's actually nice to see the tie. Not because I'm a Nandos stan (mostly) but because it shows that Josh really is still always ready to learn and grow. Mark of a great chef. What I want to know now is how wildly different the store bought Nandos sauces are from the homemade.

As a former Nandos employee, I can safely say you smashed it. The chicken preparation was almost the same as the way they prepare it in the restaurant. The sides were not as accurate but they looked slightly better than some of the sides they have at Nandos. Well done

I love the format of josh and vikram just casually eating lunch together

Nandos is probably one of the best chains in the world food quality-wise.

Nandos is almost on every street corner here in South Africa. It's the one flavour I NEVER get sick of. Even on the odd occasion when the chicken itself isn't great, the flavour is still there. I now want Nandos. So....thanks. And this on a day when I have some really great steak and jacket potatoes. Unreal how good Nandos is.

As a South African who eats Nandos every single month it is as good as people say their peri peri chips hits different

Nandos is big here in South Africa. Its one of the few places where you will see the cooks eating their own food during lunch breaks. Love ya Nandos🇿🇦

How do you make Nando's better when it's already perfection.

My dad grew up in Botswana and his parents are South African. He always has Nando's XX Hot Peri Peri in the fridge, adds it to everything. So good!

I am a Muslim who lived in Canada and the only popular place near me that served halal chicken was nandos and I remember so fondly me and my family always sitting a corner table eating the chicken and fries there and it was one of my fav restaurants. Nowadays that nandos is closed due to covid but nandos will always hold a special place in my heart.

Always the South African restaurant that surprises people! 🇿🇦

Proudly South African at watching the end result. Nando’s is our go to here in Malaysia as well whenever we feel home sick. Great job Josh

As a former Nando’s griller (2008-10, to be exact), I can confirm you’ve got the chicken prep spot on - pretty much exactly how it’s prepared in the restaurant. If I had to guess where you went wrong with the marinade, could be that Nando’s use lime instead of lemon to give it that extra sharp tang!? That’s a guess though. Delighted that you enjoyed it, as Nando’s gets a lot of hate for being overhyped here in the UK, but it gets hype because it’s fucking great. As you said: well-cooked, spicy grilled chicken with beautifully seasoned CHIPS and other solid sides, at a relatively low price.
¡Viva Nando’s! 😋🤤🌶🐓

josh is the only one i would trust if he would say "we have food at home"

[owenhyatt]

To those who don't want to make their own chips/fries, used McCain's straight cut chips, they are the same that Nando's uses.

[avish_mitra]

the fact that he made his own sauce is so foreign to me as a south african. if we were making it from “scratch” we would still use the nando’s peri peri sauce from the store cause it’s just so dang good

One of the things I love about you josh that no other youtube chefs do is when you add a bunch of spices into a single bowl you organize them into nice little piles so when we try to recreate the recipe we can visual exactly how much spice we should be using.

[sebastianbermudez]

Man you visiting the restaurant and possibly traveling is an improvement to the format, I wish I can see more like this in the future

[mclovin]

There was no way he was going to make a better source than the Nandos marinade. I'm from South Africa and I have been trying for 15 years to make that marinade. I've even tried to get a job at nandos so that I can steal the recipe. It is just something that you have to accept. You can buy Pepsi, but it will never be Coke.

[drmaazsadiq]

I can tell how hard it was for you to accept the loss but love your transparency and honesty Josh!

You either WIN or you LEARN 💪🏽🔥
