The McCoy’s Thai Sweet Chicken snack range has been announced by KP Snacks as a series of products that take on Asian cuisine inspiration to catch the attention of foodies in the UK. The product range includes the seasoning flavor in Ridge Cut crisps alongside Coated Peanuts to offer variety to consumers, while also accommodating for different snacking occasions. The flavor builds on the popularity of sweet and savory tastes, but also taps into demand for global cuisine experiences in familiar formats that are easy to justify thanks to their low-cost price point.
The new McCoy’s Thai Sweet Chicken snack range products are priced starting at £2.50 and will available at Tesco starting at the end of July before receiving a wider rollout.
