Australia's best kept secret

  • The legendary chicken salt

    Although chicken salt is the default go-to fluorescent chip seasoning for most Australians, it is largely unknown to the world outside Australia. Canadians have their poutine, Belgians have their mayo. Australians have their chicken salt.

    Where did it come from?

    Originally developed in the 1970s by two Europeans living in Adelaide, chicken salt was used as a seasoning for rotisserie chickens to add flavour and colour. Chicken shop owners would also add chicken salt to chips (known as hot chips) and it’s popularity spread to all corners of Australia.

  • Is chicken salt gluten free?

    Yes! Chicken salt does not contain gluten. It does contain Monosodium glutamate (flavour enhancer 621) but there is no gluten in MSG and so can be eaten by people with coeliac disease.

  • So it’s pretty popular then?

    Chicken salt is the mainstay seasoning in almost every takeaway across Australia and you’ll be hard pressed to find an Australian living abroad that won’t tell you how they firmly believe chicken salt should be available everywhere to douse all over their chips.

    What does it taste like?

    Controversially chicken salt doesn’t taste of chicken and is not made from chicken. It is designed to enhance the flavour of the food it’s sprinkled on. We’ve even tried it on popcorn with excellent results!

    Is chicken salt vegetarian?

    Yes it is! Chicken salt is mainly salt, sugar, spices (garlic, onion and paprika) and flavour enhancers. Chicken salt is not vegan as animal products were used to refine one of the ingredients.

What do I need to buy?

  • Our core range

    Our chicken salt is named depending on weight. The Adventurer is 30g, the Headliner is 100g. It's the same chicken salt, just in different weights.

  • Our shakers

    We have two shaker packs; The Shaker Pack is for home use and the Party Pack is to impress everyone you've ever met at parties.

  • Our merchandise

    We have official The Cicken Salt Co. clothing and a range of t-shirts emblazoned with CHICKEN SALT on them.

  • Imported from Oz

    We could have tried to make our own but it wouldn’t be the same, so we imported it directly from the manufacturer!

    Our chicken salt is air freighted from Sydney in 10-14 days and is as fresh (if not fresher) than local chip shops in Australia.
