World Fried Chicken Day: Delicious Ideas for Your Menu  

Long associated with fast food, fried chicken has now established itself as a true staple of the restaurant industry. Offered in a wide variety of settings—from Japanese restaurants to street food vendors and specialty establishments—it appeals to diners with its crispiness, rich flavor, and versatility. 

The numbers confirm this trend: sales of fried chicken in the fast-food sector rose by 18% in one year.
By 2025, fried chicken had become the 7th most-ordered dish in France on Uber Eats.

 

Why add fried chicken to your menu?

One of the main advantages of fried chicken is its ability to adapt to a wide range of culinary concepts. 

Offer Korean-style fried chicken generously drizzled with a sweet & spicy sauce; create a “Tasty Crousty” sandwich combining Shinju Mai rice, crispy chicken, Japanese mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and fried onions; or put a new spin on your California rolls with crispy chicken strips.
