Countdown teams up with Culley's to bring you a new Ghost Chilli Marinade Hot Roast Chicken

Our national meal is getting a new spicy remix!

If Aotearoa had a national dish, it would be a rotisserie chicken, buns, and coleslaw. It's the classic 'don't know what to have for tea' number that parents around the country will pull out for guaranteed results.

Culley's and Countdown have kicked things up a notch with a spicy twist on the quintessential Kiwi cuisine, the supermarket hot roast chicken.

Featuring tender roast chick' infused with a fiery combo of Culley's Ghost Chilli Hot Sauce, Culley's Buffalo Wing Seasoning and Culley's Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce, the new flavour is perfect for a warming twist on lazy winter dinners.

Nikhil Sawant, Countdown's Head of Meat, says the delicious new chicken isn't for the faint of heart or those with sensitive tastebuds.

"It's not for the spice intolerant, but for those looking for a bit of heat through the colder months ahead, it's the perfect addition to the weeknight meal rotation – just add some rolls and coleslaw and you're sorted," says Nikhil.

Ghost Chilli Marinade Hot Roast Chickens are available for $14.00 exclusively in Countdown stores, and speaking from our own experience, it's fire in more ways than one.
