Nandos Fanta: The Bold, Fruity Collab You Missed!
In Autumn 2024, Nandos turned up the flavour with a sweet and tangy twist—introducing the Nandos × Fanta limited-edition spice!
This surprise guest flavour was part of their seasonal “guest spice” lineup and gave fans a playful new way to enjoy their favourite chicken. If you missed it, here’s what made it so exciting.
What Was Nando’s Fanta?
A unique collaboration with Fanta, the sauce had a zesty orange sweetness, balanced with a touch of Nando’s classic PERi‑PERi heat. It sat right between Mild and Medium on the PERi‑ometer—perfect for those who enjoy a flavour kick without the burn.
The flavour was served as a sauce option and was most popular on Nando’s × Fanta Chicken Wings, available in-restaurant across the UK and Ireland.
When Was It Available?
- Launched: October 15, 2024
- Available until: Spring 2025
- UK & Ireland Only
This special release was part of Nando’s ongoing tradition of releasing limited-time guest spices—like the previous Smoky Churrasco and Garlic BBQ.
Fan Buzz & Fakeaway Recipes
Nandos lovers went wild on social media, creating their own versions of “Fanta Wings” at home using Fanta Orange, chilli flakes, garlic, and honey. Instagram was full of reels recreating the flavour with a sweet-citrus glaze.
Tip: Want to recreate it? Try marinating wings in orange soda, a splash of vinegar, garlic, and peri seasoning before grilling!
Why It Deserves a Spot on the Menu Archive
Even though the Fanta spice is no longer available, it’s earned a place in Nando’s fan history. It was one of the more adventurous and unexpected flavours that blurred the lines between soft drink sweetness and peri-peri heat.
Conclusion
The Nandos × Fanta guest spice was fun, flavourful, and unforgettable. Whether you tried it or not, it’s a great example of Nando’s playful side. We hope they bring it back—or launch something just as bold next season!
