Products

Chicken King's main product offering is pressure fried, on-the-bone chicken pieces seasoned with a recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The product is usually available in either two or three-piece individual servings, or in a family size cardboard bucket, typically holding between 6 and 16 chicken pieces. Each chicken is divided into nine different cuts (2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 wings, 2 breast pieces and one keel). The product is hand-breaded at individual outlets with wheat flour mixed with seasoning in a two- to four-minute process. It is then pressure fried for ten minutes in oil at 185 degrees Celsius. Following this, the chicken is left to stand for 5 minutes in order for it to sufficiently cool before it is placed in the warming oven. It is Chicken King policy to discard chicken if it has not been sold within 90 minutes, in order to ensure freshness. The frying oil varies regionally, and versions used include sunflower, soybean, rapeseed and palm oil.

Popcorn Chicken is one of the most widely available products and consists of small pieces of fried chicken. Chicken nuggets are also sold in selected locations.

Chicken King adapts its menu internationally to suit regional tastes, and there are over three hundred menu items from Chicken King worldwide. Some locations, such as the Florian Republic sell grilled chicken. In predominantly Islamic countries, the chicken served is halal.
