Chicken and chips

Chicken and chips is a combination of foods predominantly consumed in the United Kingdom, The Commonwealth and United States. It consists of a piece of fried, roasted or barbecued chicken and French fries, or chips as they are known in the UK. The consumption of chicken and chips is a popular food choice based on its value for money.[1][2][3] In some cities such as London, on most high streets there are at least one or two chicken and chip shops, amongst kebab, pizza, Chinese, and Indian take-away shops.

Fried chicken schnitzel served with chips and jaeger gravy at AlpenStubel, River Inn, Thredbo Ski Resort, Kosciuszko National Park, Australia.

A serving of chicken and chips is usually packaged in a small cardboard box lined with a piece of greaseproof paper. Sometimes served with the food is a sachet of salt and sometimes pepper.

In 2012, chicken and chips was added to the UK consumer basket, used for calculating inflation.[4]
