New Walkers flavour spotted on Home Bargains shelves and ‘they taste superb’

Walkers has added a new flavour to its crisps range that’s inspired by the a popular takeaway dish – and shoppers have already been snapping them up at Home Bargains

There’s little doubt that Brits have a passion for Chinese food, with YouGov research revealing that a quarter of people rank it as their top takeaway choice, and it’s easy to see why. However, with such an extensive menu of dishes on offer, sampling everything can prove challenging.

Now, Walkers has made experiencing one of the nation’s favourite takeaway dishes more accessible by transforming it into a new crisp flavour. While the crisp giant has previously drawn inspiration from meals – notably with their KFC-flavoured crisps that recently made a return – this latest addition means you can indulge in takeaway tastes more frequently.

For those keen to try them, eagle-eyed customers have discovered the new Salt and Pepper Chicken crisps from Walkers at their local Home Bargains branches. One delighted shopper shared their discovery on Instagram.

“New Salt and Pepper Chicken Walkers Crisps spotted at Home Bargains,” they posted alongside a photograph of the product.

Walkers describes the Salt and Pepper Chicken crisps as being inspired by the beloved takeaway classic, blending garlic, spring onion, black pepper and fragrant Chinese-style seasonings.

The crisps emerged following the brand’s successful Do Us A Flavour campaign, which saw two fortunate winners have their crisp flavour ideas brought to life. Alongside the Salt and Pepper Chicken option, the Grilled Cheese and Chilli Jam flavour combines the indulgent taste of melted cheese with a sweet and spicy chilli jam kick, and is now available in shops.

Enthusiasts were equally thrilled about this variety, with one commenting: “You can tasted the grilled cheese and the mild chilli flavour.”

The new flavours have clearly struck a chord with shoppers, who flocked to social media to tag friends and share their reactions in the comments section.

“I saw these in home bargains, wish id got some,” wrote one disappointed customer.

Another enthusiastic reviewer declared: “I can definitely recommend these! They taste superb!”.

The launch follows recent revelations that left consumers puzzled about why Walkers crisps are marketed as Lays in most other countries around the world, with one of the variants coming before the other.
