We’re looking for a chef or culinary professional with experience in peri peri chicken (or similar flame-grilled chicken concepts) to help us develop an authentic, high-quality recipe from start to finish.
This is a project-based role focused specifically on product development.
What we need help with:
-
Developing and refining peri peri marinades and sauces
-
Testing flavor profiles (heat levels, balance, authenticity)
-
Optimizing for consistency and scalability
-
Advising on cooking method (grill, oven, open flame, etc.)
-
Ingredient sourcing guidance
Ideal background:
-
Experience working with peri peri (Portuguese or Southern African style)
-
OR experience in grilled chicken concepts (e.g., Nando’s-style)
-
Strong understanding of marinades, spice balance, and protein cookery
This is a paid consulting engagement. Flexible structure depending on experience and availability. If interested, please send a short note about your experience and any relevant projects.
This project has the potential to grow into something much bigger. While we are currently focused on recipe development, our long-term vision is to build a scalable concept in the U.S. For the right person, there may be an opportunity to stay involved full-time, beyond this initial phase.
