Kwik Trip’s Fried Chicken Contest will Drive Sales Here are Five Reasons Why

 

Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® congratulates Kwik Trip on it fist-of-its-kind chicken sweepstakes, as he believes it will garner incremental sales. Here are five reasons why:

1.        Kwik Trip’s Fried Chicken is a consumer favorite.

2.      Global Chicken Consumption is Massive: Around 60 billion chickens are raised for meat each year worldwide, with over half originating in Asia. This makes chicken the most consumed meat globally, surpassing even pork and beef.

3.      Nutritional Value: Chicken is a good source of lean protein, containing around 31 grams per cooked breast. It's also relatively low in fat compared to other meats, especially when skinless and trimmed. Additionally, chicken offers various essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, iron, and selenium.

4.      Ethical Considerations: Concerns surround the welfare of chickens raised in factory farms, often subjected to cramped living conditions and controversial practices like debeaking. Consumers increasingly seek alternatives from ethically sourced farms or adopt plant-based diets.

5.       Culinary Versatility: Chicken is a versatile ingredient, adapting to diverse culinary styles worldwide. From classic fried chicken in the US to butter chicken in India, to Japanese chicken teriyaki, its adaptability contributes to its widespread popularity.

"To help jumpstart sweepstakes excitement, we sent our 100-plus brand ambassadors a care package which includes chicken leg keychains, bumper stickers and personalized disposable bibs."
