Marinated Chicken Menu Ideas

Sweet Mediterranean Chicken

There are some moments in life you never forget — and that first trip to your local chip shop is definitely one of them. The sizzle of the grill, the smell in the air, and that first bite of chicken kebab… unforgettable.

Now imagine reliving that moment again and again — straight from your own kitchen.

With our fresh chicken kebab packs, you can enjoy that legendary chip shop taste without stepping outside. All you need are a few perfect sides to make your kebab night truly epic.

It’s All About the Sauce

Eating a kebab without sauce is like pouring juice without a cup — a total mess! So, the big question is: which sauce are you picking?

  • Add some heat with a spicy chilli sauce
  • Cool things down with creamy yoghurt and fresh mint
  • Keep it classic with boatloads of ketchup or mayo

The best part of making your kebab at home is that your favourite sauces are always on hand, ready to drizzle, dip, or pour.

Chill Out with Coconut Rice

For a fresh twist, cook your rice in coconut milk for a rich, creamy flavour. Stir in some juicy pineapple chunks to give it a tropical touch.

You may not be able to hop on a plane to Hawaii, but this side will transport your taste buds — and it’s a fun way to get the kids into trying coconut. It’s a tasty, healthy addition to your mealtime favourites.

Everyone Loves a Good Salad

Forget the half tomato and limp lettuce. Salads can be exciting! Give yours some personality with:

  • Coconut shavings
  • Crunchy peppers
  • Chillies or jalapeños
  • Grated cheese
  • Fresh raw veg

A vibrant salad adds colour, crunch and flavour to your kebab, and best of all, it’s quick to prepare and saves on washing up. Perfect for easy, flavour-packed dinners.

Dinner doesn’t have to be dull. Say goodbye to plain chicken and fill your freezer with our delicious chicken kebab meat for the ultimate at-home takeaway experience.

Tandoori Chicken Pieces 

The story of tandoor ovens begins in 15th-century India, where food brought communities together. People would dig a hole in the ground, place a large clay pot, fill it with wood or charcoal, and light a roaring fire. Over the searing 480 °C heat, they’d grill a variety of meat and fish — creating flavours that became legendary.

Today, modern clay tandoors are a staple in kitchens and restaurants around the world. The live fire infuses the food with an unmistakable earthy, smoky taste, taking BBQ to a whole new level.

And of course, one dish stands out above the rest — the world-famous Tandoori Chicken. Its signature red colour comes from a chilli powder coating before it’s grilled to perfection.

Simply heat it up, then get your sides ready. Here are a few easy and delicious accompaniments to make your Tandoori feast complete:

Cool Down with Mint Yoghurt

  • Tandoori Chicken packs a spicy punch, so balance it with a refreshing mint yoghurt dip.
  • Finely chop fresh mint leaves and stir into Greek yoghurt.
  • Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice.

That’s it — simple, cooling, and full of flavour. Maximum taste, minimum hassle.

Try Something Different: Couscous

For a light, fresh side, couscous works beautifully:

  • Pour boiling water over the couscous and let it steam.
  • Add a splash of oil, then fluff with a fork to keep the grains separate.
  • Stir in chopped cucumber, and finish with a squeeze of lemon and lime for a bright, zesty twist.

Each bite offers a cool burst of freshness against the chicken’s fiery marinade.

Tandoori Summer Salad

Keep things vibrant and effortless with a mix-and-match salad. Toss together your favourites — spicy peppers, juicy tomatoes, crunchy carrots, or crispy croutons — for a colourful side that pairs perfectly with Tandoori Chicken. No fuss, no piles of washing up.

Spice It Up with Indian Tomato Salsa

Whether you prefer a cooling yoghurt dip or something with extra heat, this spicy Indian salsa is a winner — and it’s super easy to make:

  • Fry chopped chilli and onion in a pan for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in a teaspoon of Garam Masala and cook until the onions are crispy.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook until piping hot.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Brace yourself — this punchy salsa takes your salad (and your Tandoori) to the next level.

Dinner doesn’t have to be dull. Say goodbye to plain chicken and fill your freezer with our delicious Tandoori marinade chicken for a bold, flavour-packed meal.

Chicken Tikka Pieces

Have you ever wondered where Chicken Tikka gets its name?
The word Tikka comes from Persian (Iranian) and simply means “bits.” These succulent, juicy pieces of chicken are loved across India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and even parts of Western Asia, including Turkey and Azerbaijan. And now, Chicken Tikka is ready to take centre stage at your dinner table too.

So… how are you serving yours? Here are a few delicious ideas to get you started:

Whip Up a Classic Chicken Tikka Masala

Tikka without Masala is like football without goals — it just doesn’t feel right. Luckily, making a brilliant Masala sauce is easier than you might think:

  • Combine cream and yoghurt in a casserole dish and stir gently over the hob to form a paste.
  • Add chillies for extra heat and a handful of fresh coriander.
  • Prefer a milder flavour? Stir in a spoonful of mango or orange chutney instead.
  • Add your defrosted chicken and some peppers, coating everything evenly. Cook for around 15 minutes, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Stir in chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, and a cup of water. Let it simmer for a few more minutes until thick and rich.
  • Serve with fluffy rice and warm Naan bread to soak up every drop of that delicious sauce.

Let’s Talk Rice

Rice is the perfect partner to Chicken Tikka — and there are plenty of ways to make it shine.

  • Classic Basmati brings a subtle nutty flavour that complements your Tikka beautifully.
  • Want to get creative? Add curry powder, peppers, chillies or coriander to the boiling water for a bold, aromatic twist.
  • Not a fan of spice? Mix in cheese and broccoli for a creamy, comforting option. A sprinkle of black pepper gives it just the right kick — and it’s a hit with kids too.

Pair It with an Ice-Cold Beer

For the grown-ups at the table, few things pair better with Chicken Tikka than a cold beer.

India has a rich tradition of brewing strong, flavourful beers — the perfect match for a spicy curry. For an authentic Goan touch, try a bottle of Kingfisher, one of India’s most popular beers, boasting a punchy 8% ABV. Other well-loved choices include Haywards 5000 and Kalyani Black Label.

European and American beers are popular too, but for the full Tikka experience, why not go local?

Dinner doesn’t have to be dull. Say goodbye to plain chicken and fill your freezer with our mouth-watering Chicken Tikka marinade for a truly unforgettable meal.

PERI PERI Chicken Pieces

PERi PERi Chicken

This chicken is not for the faint of heart. If you only enjoy eating mild chicken, please check out our BBQ, Kebab and Lemon & Herb marinades. If you love chicken that packs a punch (and then some), our PERi PERi chicken is perfect for you.

This isn’t one of those marinades that ‘probably won’t be that spicy’ or ‘should be quite mild really’. Even customers who regularly eat spicy dishes told us that they drank several gulps of milk after trying this one.

Looking for the perfect sides? Here are a few ideas…

Refreshing watermelon, feta and cucumber salad

Sound tricky to make? It’s not. Just get a nice, juicy watermelon. Then chop it into cooling chunks and put in a salad with Greek feta cheese, cucumber and some lettuce. After that, let your taste buds chill out in this Mediterranean oasis after each tantalising bite of spicy chicken. Melt some of the cheese over your meat for extra effect.

A fruity salad like this is a great way to make spicy food easy-to-eat for the kids.

Chilli Chips

Do you feel like there’s no point having spicy chicken without spicy sides? Then go all in. Put your chips in the oven and chop up red and (or) green chillies. Grating them works too. Take the seeds out if you want to remove some their spice. When your chips are nearly ready, take them out of the oven.

Toss on your chillies and put everything back in the oven until your chips are nice and crispy. Add a bit of salt after you’ve taken them out of the oven. Then just stick them on a plate and enjoy at least seven degrees of unprecedented spice alongside your chicken.

Ice Cream for pudding always goes well

Everyone loves ice cream (especially after spicy chicken). There are so many flavours to choose from. You’ve got the traditional ones like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. You’ve also got the more eccentric flavours like pistachio, black cherry, mango, lemon, hazelnut, and mint. We’ll also give mint chocolate chip and honourable mention too because it tastes so great.

Whatever you choose, scoop after scoop of refreshing ice cream is the perfect ending to a wonderfully spicy meal. Why not let the kids mix and match their favourite ice creams for extra special puddings?

So many stress-free dinners have started with defrosting our PERi PERi chicken.

Lemon & Herb Chicken

Lemon and Herb Chicken

Do you like your chicken with a kick, but not so spicy that you’re reaching for the milk jug after your first bite? Lemon and herb chicken is a perfect way to add some excitement to dinner. Just take it out of the freezer and enjoy a sweet and tangy alternative to boring old plain chicken.

While your chicken is warming up in the oven, you can get inventive with your sides. We’ve listed a few that the kids will love below.

Give your rice a kick too

Rice goes perfectly with lemon and herb chicken. If you want to, you can just boil some white rice and let it absorb all that delicious lemony sauce. It’s so much more fun to serve your rice with a twist though. Adding mango or pineapple is a great way to get the kids to eat fruit. Peas always go down well too. Do you really want to show off your cooking skills? Try sautéing your rice in a pan with some oil, mushrooms and garlic.

The great thing about rice is that you can make it taste however you want it to, depending on what mood you’re all in.

Crispy Breadcrumbs

The only thing better than lemon and herb chicken, is crispy lemon and herb chicken. All you need to do is defrost your chicken and cover it in breadcrumbs. Then just stick it in the oven and make it as crispy as you like.

Our advice is to serve your chicken when it’s soft and juicy on the inside, and crunchily crispy on the outside. Then add those perfect last touches to your crispy chicken with some extra herbs and lemon juice.

Fresh Summer Salads

Vibrant dishes like lemon and herb chicken are perfect for summer. They’re also perfect for fresh and tasty salads. From refreshing lettuce to juicy tomatoes, cool cucumbers and punchy peppers, you’ve got so much choice. That’s before you even get to salad sauces. Soy sauce will give your salad an unforgettable Oriental twist. Ginger sauce will give the lemon a whole new stage to perform on.

Introducing the kids to salad isn’t always easy. It becomes so much easier when you’re serving your salad with juicy, succulent and tangy lemon and herb chicken.

BBQ Chicken Pieces

BBQ Chicken Pieces

Does juicy, smoky BBQ chicken that falls off the bone fill with you with happiness? What about when BBQ sauce with that perfect tang is dripping from every bite? Those wonderful feelings aren’t just for summer. Whatever the season, you’re only one click away from BBQ joy with these flavourful fresh or frozen chicken packs.

The hard part is deciding how you’re going to serve your chicken. Here are a few ideas for sides that will transform every meal into whirlwind world tours.

Melty Mac ‘n’ Cheese

This world-famous BBQ side is one of easiest and tastiest dishes you’ll ever cook. If you’re cooking it from fresh, just mix milk, flour, butter and cheese in a pan. Then pour your sauce over macaroni in a casserole dish and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Depending on how you’re feeling, you can throw in spices, breadcrumbs and even bacon bits to give your mac ‘n’ cheese an edge. Then you can relax and enjoy the results. This glorious take on pasta bake will contrast perfectly with your BBQ chicken and give your whole family a dinner to remember.

Spicy Chimichurri

Give your BBQ chicken a Latin twist with one of Argentina’s most popular sides. This spicy mix of parsley with the freshest pepper flakes, oregano and a whole host of other herbs is an essential for dinners with a kick. Once you’ve chosen your herbs, add in some oil and a shot of hot water. Then pour your chimichurri over your chicken after you take it out of the oven for the full experience.

Classic Corn on The Cob

Some sides just carry BBQ onto your taste buds. Corn absorbs every one of those wonderful sweet and sour flavours. As you’re getting to the end of each piece of chicken, you’ll remember that you’ve still got bite after bite of juicy corn to wipe up all that lovely sauce. Plus, covering corn in BBQ sauce is a great way to get the kids to eat vegetables.
