Brits can’t get enough of fried chicken. KFC opened its first UK store in Preston back in 1965, and consumers have been queuing up to get their hands on the fingerlicking good grub ever since. There are now more than 1,000 outlets across the nation and demand continues to grow.

Then there’s London-born Morley's, which arrived in the UK in Sydenham in 1985 and is now such a big part of the capital that the sign from the original shop is being incorporated into the London Museum’s new Hanging Out display, to celebrate social spaces that bring communities together.

So there you have it – not only is fried chicken utterly delicious, it also has positive associations with drawing people together to socialise. But why let the big brands have all the fun? By offering some great quality dishes with Booker’s The Chicken Box, you too can embrace the good vibes – and prime profits – associated with this seriously scrummy comfort food.

The Chicken Box range has everything you need to really get your teeth stuck into this lucrative market, where value and taste combine to create an irresistible offer.

Our sturdy cardboard boxes are branded with high quality food imagery, the #Lovechicken hashtag and our very own chicken character. They come in an inviting, warm, red hue and are available in a range of sizes suitable to meet a variety of different price points and appetites.

You can create a tantalising nine-piece chicken box for just £2.49 per serving, that will provide a £5.42 cash profit if sold at £9.49. Add a pot of beans and some condiments for good measure and your customers will be clamouring to bag a box.

For an oriental twist, Honey & Soy Chicken Wings with a sprinkling of spring onions and sesame seeds will go down a storm. Offering a whopping 74% profit if sold at £5, these tasty treats are going to fly.

Salt and pepper chicken is a top seller on menus up and down the country, so why not box it up and give the people what they want. Serve the chicken on a bed of rice with a light garnish of sliced spring onions and chillies and it’s guaranteed to be a hot seller. At a sell price of £7.50, this banging box costs just £1.52 per serving and gives you £4.74 cash profit.

Don’t forget to incorporate a traditional chicken burger into the mix. A sesame brioche, a slather of mayo and a layer of lush lettuce will provide the perfect texture combination. Offer it with chips at £7 and you’ll earn a £3.81 cash profit.

And why not take advantage of our brilliant Large Burger Boxes deal, which enables you to buy one, get one free (BOGOF). Our Large and Medium Food Boxes are also on BOGOF, so stock up now and get ready for the summer crowds.

Chicken really is the perfect people pleaser – in fact, more than 40% of the meat eaten in Britain is chicken – making it the nation’s favourite meat. What’s more, it’s especially popular with families, with a third eating chicken a few times a week or more.

But for those looking for a meat-free option, Booker also has Macaroni Cheese Bites, which offer a vegetarian alternative with all the indulgence of the chicken pieces. A portion will cost you just 37p, generating a 67p cash profit when sold at £1.25.

For a heartier meal, why not serve with Fries, Coleslaw and Onion Rings. This fast-food combo only costs the customer £4, and yet you’ll still make a 72% profit.

So make the most of this golden opportunity and embrace The Chicken Box.
