The Birds Eye Chicken Marinades range is a new lineup of marinated meat varieties themed with shopper demand in mind to help shoppers enjoy a delicious chicken-based meal option at their leisure.
The product range has three varieties to choose from including Memphis Style BBQ, Asian-Inspired Teriyaki and Zesty Lemon & Herb that each feature boneless chicken thighs as their protein base. The meals are each high in protein, come with enough food for two and are ready to be prepared in the oven, air fryer or even on the barbecue.

The range offers a midweek solution that feels elevated without compromising on ease. It’s an important step in broadening the appeal of the frozen category and ensuring Birds Eye continues to innovate in ways that are relevant to today’s shoppers.”
