Tesco shoppers are heading back to the supermarket to try a new own-brand crisp flavour that fans say won't last "one sitting" because the 150g bag gets devoured quickly. The Tesco Finest Crinkle Cut Japanese Fried Chicken Flavour crisps cost £1.50 per bag, and early reviews on Reddit's crisp forum are glowing.
Reddit Users Praise the Flavour and Texture
One Reddit user shared a picture of the packet, writing: "Absolutely bangin’ new flavour from Tesco. Would highly recommend." He added: "Great flavour and texture. Good crunch. Not much more to say to fellow crisps lovers. Just get some and see for yourself."
Others who had tried them agreed, with one saying: "I concur. Full, bold umami flavour with a hint of spiciness and a distinctively delicious oriental chicken taste. I particularly enjoyed the solid, corrugated texture of the crisp itself - the heft and crispiness of the cut was perfect, even rivalling McCoys."
Shoppers Say the Bags Don't Last Long
Another fan wrote: "Yup, I had these for the first time yesterday, and I agree, peppery, nice deep non-artificial tasting chicken flavour. Destroyed the bag in no time." A third commenter, tempted by the "good feedback," said: "I'm always annoyed when I pick up a slightly more interesting chicken flavour and it low-key just tastes like roast chicken lol. So maybe I'll give these a try!"
Some pointed out the crisps are not entirely new, saying they "had them last Christmas" and that they are "really good" and worth a try for fans of the flavour. One shopper lamented: "Aw damn, I hardly ever go to Tesco anymore, but I was there yesterday! Guess I’ll have to go back."
Other Flavours in the Tesco Finest Range
The Tesco Finest range also includes Roast Beef & Horseradish, a savoury pub-inspired flavour with a sharp, peppery kick; Spicy Smoked Paprika, a smoky, sweet, and mildly hot option; Sea Salt & Chardonnay Vinegar, a premium twist on salt and vinegar; Maple BBQ, a smoky-sweet blend; and Lightly Sea Salted, the ridged version of the classic salted crisp.
