Fried chicken industry is the business sector that specializes in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of fried chicken items. Urbanization and busy lives have increased the desire for ready-to-consume foods that are easy to prepare by consumers. Fried chicken suits this need well owing to its short preparation time and accessibility at fast-food restaurants and delivery. This convenience factor appeals to working professionals, students, and families seeking flavorful, satisfying meals without the hassle of cooking, significantly boosting the fried chicken market globally. Moreover, brands are innovating with new flavors, healthier recipes, and diverse formats such as boneless chicken, sandwiches, and spicy variants. This variety appeals to different consumer tastes, attracting a broader customer base and sustaining market momentum. However, fried chicken tends to contain high amounts of calories and unhealthy fats, rendering it less attractive to health-conscious consumers. This affects market growth, particularly in areas where wellness trends are prominent. The adverse image of fried foods leads consumers to opt for other protein sources, lowering overall consumption of fried chicken.

The updated breading incorporates tapioca and potato starches for improved crunch and texture.
