I cannot explain it to you if you don't already know, I'm sorry. It is such a quintessentially British experience that unless you grew up here, you will just never understand the inherent cheekiness of Nandos.

"Cheeky" in this context basically just means it's an indulgence - an impromptu little treat. It's a little after midday and you're a few pints deep, so you ask your mates if they fancy a cheeky Nandos. There's nothing more to it.
In roughly the same way you might have a "cheeky pint" on a relaxed Sunday when you know work looms on Monday morning.
You can use it for any spontaneous, slightly bold action, especially if it's a little mischievous/decadent.

This is right but you've missed the final layer of humour. Nando's is no indulgence. Context: I'm from SA where Nando's originates and I lived and studied in Oxford. Nando's is mediocre chicken for a high price. An extra slice of cake is an indulgence. A drunk cigarette is an indulgence. A third pint is an indulgence. Nando's is all right but it isn't a special treat and that's the very reason why cheeky Nando's works. That, and the fact it's a forced meme.

There is an element of truth to this. Some cultural phenomena require firsthand experience. Younguns might say it's "vibes based."

It's bland compared to how people in other cultures actually eat. The Avec Panache! Sandwiches they sell to pale, white anglos is toned way down.

Not so fast. Peri peri was created by white Portuguese sailors in Mozambique. Nando's itself was founded by two white men in South Africa, my home country. As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I've lived in England, and I've eaten Nando's in both countries. It's the same chicken, same spices, same sauces as back in SA. Nando's in Joburg and Nando's in Oxford Westgate are identical.

Ok fair enough. Then it's just normally bland, even in Louisiana I've eaten it. It's very mediocre and bland. Even the hottest one is Louisiana people hot.
