Feisty Flavor Prepared Meals

GSN Firecracker Chicken is the Brand's Newest Chef's Special

The GSN Firecracker Chicken is the brand's latest Chef's Special offering that will provide consumers with access to a delicious take on the classic Asian cuisine dish this summer. The meal starts off with premium chicken prepared with Panko that's cooked to perfection before being paired with a sweet, spicy sauce that also imparts notes of tang and sour to every bite. The well-balanced meal is perfect for consumers craving the Thai cuisine dish, but is decidedly easier to access when looking to enjoy it from home rather than head to a restaurant.

Founder Craig Allen spoke on the new GSN Firecracker Chicken saying, "When customers requested something of a spicy persuasion, we felt the time was ripe to create our own unique twist on Firecracker Chicken, using our famous Panko chicken as the hero protein. We believed that our bold, spirited interpretation of a perennial Thai favourite will leave a lively, lingering impression, effortlessly touching all the primary taste bases in terms of tangy sour meets sweet spicy heat and a light splash of umami."
