I don't even like thinking about the last time we ordered a fried chicken takeaway and how much we got for our money. The price of it and other fast foods has shot up and, with shoppers still feeling the pinch of the cost of living crisis, it's becoming a very rare treat. So, with Aldi launching a new Roosters southern fried chicken range, it's hardly surprising that it's going down a storm with shoppers.
There's a massive range available in stores, with prices starting from 79p for sides like coleslaw, up to £3.99 for an 800g tub of Southern Fried Chicken Thighs and Drums.

And we really enjoyed the Chicken Burgers, which come in either buttermilk or hot and spicy crumb, as well as the breaded Chicken Poppers, which come with a bbq dip. Aldi's new southern fried chicken range (Image: Manchester Family / MEN) We weren't particularly keen on the gravy, or the Mini Chicken Kievs filled with 'dirty chicken gravy', but we're generally not overkeen on thicker, fast food gravy anyway - yet I've since seen other shoppers saying that was their favourite bit, so each to their own. We did however love the taste of the BBQ Beans, which even the Heinz-loving kids enjoyed and the Skin On Fries and Sweetcorn Bites, with spicy tomato and red pepper butter, are decent additions too.
We're.
