“This return is not only a return to our roots, but also a strategic move to drive our business forward. We’re confident that our guests will enjoy our exceptional recipe and iconic flavour, fuelling our growth and success.” 

The signature chicken is deeply marinated for optimal juiciness and encased in a crispy, flaky batter that remains crunchy throughout.  

The original recipe offers simplicity without compromising on quality, utilising a single batter for consistent excellence across servings. 

Adding to the appeal is the affordability of this indulgent treat. Customers can enjoy individual servings or family packs. 

Church’s Texas Chicken head chef Kevin Houston said: “Our original recipe captures the bold flavour that made the brand famous. The deep marination and crispy, flaky breading – it’s all about flavour!

“We’re excited to bring back our OG recipe to satisfy our guests’ cravings for even more flavour, ensuring every bite is infused with our blend of spices our guests love. We extend a warm welcome to those who haven’t visited our restaurants in a while to rediscover our legendary chicken.” 

Moreover, Church’s Texas Chicken is inviting customers to join its new loyalty programme, Church’s Real Rewards.
