Chicken and chips

Chicken and chips is a combination of foods predominantly consumed in the United Kingdom, The Commonwealth, and United States. It consists of a piece of fried, roasted, or barbecued chicken and chips, or French fries as they are known in the U.S. The consumption of chicken and chips is a popular food choice based on its value for money.[1][2][3] In some cities, such as London, on most high streets there are at least one or two chicken and chip shops, amongst kebab, pizza, Chinese, and Indian take-away shops. Other names for chicken and chips include: Chicken fingers, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets and fries.
