With four distinctive flavours including Salt & Pepper, Salt & Chilli, Piri Piri and a classic Plain option, Homestyle Shredded Chicken has hit the market by storm, loading menu ideas with great taste and stylish appeal across the food industry.

Our seriously tasty Shredded Chicken is sold in abundance, being served up at eateries across the UK from upmarket street food diners, restaurants and cafes to football stadiums and the humble fish and chip shops!

So what's the big appeal? In this write up, we take a closer look at the great versatility the Shredded Chicken varieties for fitting a wide range of trending menu ideas and why they are therefore a must have to meet the ongoing demand for great tasting, quick-convenience foods in 2024.

Salt & Pepper Shredded Chicken Loaded Fries

A heavily trending menu idea in 2025 placed at the forefront of new food offerings by some of the biggest restaurant chains and fast-food outlets, including Nando's and Dominoes.

There are many ways to serve our Homestyle Salt & Pepper Shredded Chicken, from a tasty taco to a sumptuous side, but it doesn’t get much better than as a key ingredient for the ultimate loaded fries experience.

Salt & Pepper is the most popular of all the Homestyle shredded chicken flavour profiles because it strikes a happy medium for consumers with differing flavour demands, along with a moreish nature that sits perfectly with the loaded fries menu idea.

From football stadiums to fish and chip shops, loaded fries with Homestyle Shredded Chicken has become a big hit with customers and an even bigger hit for chefs seeking quality quick-cook products with a fresh appeal.

Peri Peri Shredded Chicken Mac & Cheese

More and more restaurants are getting creative with Mac and Cheese, and we’re all for it!

It provides the perfect base for our newest addition to the Homestyle shredded chicken range. The Homestyle Peri Peri Shredded Chicken offers the perfect sweet, spicy and crunchy topping for a creamy mac and cheese to bring an irresistible pull for your customers.

The versatility of the dish means restaurants can serve up as a starter or a main with ease, and by adding the Peri Peri Shredded Chicken, which like all of our Shredded products, cooks in as little as 60 seconds from frozen, there’s no better option for getting through busy service periods.

Peri Peri is a flavour synonymous with some of the UK’s biggest high street chains such as Nando's and German Donner Kebab, providing a familiarity that customers are looking for when scouring menus. The initial slow building kick of spice coupled with the fresh and citrusy aftertaste will keep your customers coming back for more!

Salt & Chilli Shredded Chicken Nachos

Sharing plates and combos are growing in popularity, and they don’t come much more popular than the tried and tested loaded Nachos.

Mexican cuisine fits the bill for the ultimate grab and share. Just like the loaded Fries, Nachos provide a brilliant base to get creative and using just 50g of our Homestyle Salt & Chilli Shredded Chicken is all you need pre-portion for the perfect nacho topping, providing a succulent crunchy bite and fiery aftertaste.

The Salt & Chilli Shredded Chicken is a match for those looking to adventure with chilli-based flavours and when served as a nacho topping with a range of popular authentic dips such as Guac, Sour Cream and Salsa, chefs can cook up a well recognisable dish to its highest potential.

BBQ Shredded Chicken Loaded Sub

Some chefs have to show their creative flair, we get it…

The authentic ruffled coating of our Homestyle Plain Shredded Chicken offers a fantastic blank canvas for chefs to improvise with sauces and marinades. In this case, we suggest coating the shredded pieces in a rich BBQ sauce before loading into a delicious sub roll, perfect for a quick sandwich shop grab-and-go or pub lunchtime menu option.

Alternatively, why not serve up as a simple kids meal or side option for dipping? The possibilities are endless… no waste, no mess, just 100% natural shredded chicken quickly cooked from frozen and served up in any variety of dishes to suit any menu.
