They revealed to that the extra hot variety doesn't even exist - and that extra hot chicken is simply chicken with more of the regular 'hot sauce' layered onto it than usual.

The worker claimed: "Something most people don't know is that the extra hot sauce on the chicken is actually just the hot sauce, but more of it."

And a spokesman for the restaurant confirmed to the Sun Online that the worker was correct.

They said: "To deliver the unique heat and intensity of extra-hot in restaurant, we baste our legendary PERi-PERi chicken twice, to deliver a flavour that is tasty and packed with just the right amount of fiery punch."

Earlier this year we revealed how Nando's have launched the hottest PERi-PERi sauce yet.

Meanwhile, last year, we told you about the man who tired to impress a date he had taken to Nando's.

The man, called Jonny was worried that “plain equals lame” in the eyes of girls looking for a red hot lover — so concocted what he thought was a “fool-proof plan” when choosing the spice level for his food.

But he was unable to handle the extra hot chicken and was left with tears in his eyes.
