For the first time in its 50-year history, Chicken Treat will be serving customers its famous chicken salt on chips \u2014 and letting them take it home.<\/p>\n

But it won\u2019t be for long.<\/p>\n

From September 30, Chicken Treat chips-lovers across the State will be able to purchase a limited number of chicken salt containers in store.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone!\u201d the restaurant says.<\/p>\n

The initiative comes as the WA-founded chicken restaurant celebrates its Golden Anniversary.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, people have wanted to get their hands on the ingredient that makes Chicken Treat\u2019s chips so delicious and for a limited time we are giving customers a chance to buy it,\u201d CEO Jamie Stewart said.<\/p>\n

Since opening its first store in Midland in 1976, Chicken Treat has served more than 234 million portions of chips, 116 million pieces of rotisserie chicken, and 53 million chicken rolls.<\/p>\n

It now operates 62 venues across the State.<\/p>\n

The fast food chain is now also preparing to roll out changes to its menu, including new boneless chicken options, new sauces, and even a curry range.<\/p>\n

Leaning into its flavour-rich history, Chicken Treat is inviting WA residents to submit their favourite memories with the chain over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have heard about Chicken Treat saving a marriage proposal, kids who would save pocket money to share chips, Christmas Day traditions, funny family rituals and the stories are still coming in,\u201d Mr Stewart said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then there are all the memories that take you straight back. The Royal Show, junior sport, beach days and those who remember their first jobs at Chicken Treat decades later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drawing on the chain\u2019s own favourite moments, Mr Stewart recalled some of the wackier events it had been a part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fifty years, we have done everything from cater a wedding at the bride and groom\u2019s request, launch a world-first donut burger, gone viral with Betty the tweeting live chicken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Late actor Heath Ledger even played the role of Chicken Treat staff member on-screen before making it big in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Adding to its folkore, Chicken Treat will be looking to set a new world record on October 2, challenging three contestants to set the fastest time to eat five chicken rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time in its 50-year history, Chicken Treat will be serving customers its famous chicken salt…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":909956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,1295,1625],"class_list":["post-909955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-food","tag-lifestyle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=909955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=909955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=909955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=909955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
