Over the past several years, menu performance data indicates that consumers strongly prefer fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and chicken tenders. The quick service restaurant (QSR) chicken segment has outperformed all other market segments, becoming the leading growth driver in the food service industry.
For five consecutive years, the love of “all things chicken” has stirred up a QSR Chicken War because of double-digit sales growth in many chains, including Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, and Raising Cane’s. Don’t wave a white flag yet if you’re not winning the war! Upper Crust Enterprises has 2 easy, cost-effective ways to help you increase profits.
Is the competition eating your lunch?
Where do you stand in this competition as the QSR Chicken War escalates? How do your chicken offerings compare to those of your rivals? Do they deliver a crispy texture while maintaining a tender bite? Do they hold up for take-out orders? Meet the demand of clean label consumers want?
These two easy and cost-effective steps will elevate your menu items, help increase profits, and keep customers returning for more. Win the battle by delivering high-quality fried chicken with the crispy texture your customers expect while ensuring it can maintain its quality during take-out and delivery services.
Step One: Elevate your chicken tenders with Upper Crust Enterprises’s unique Egg-Free Tempura Batter Mix, a game-changer in the industry. Unlike many commercial brands that contain eggs, MSG, flavorings, thickeners, and dairy, our mix is free of these additives, ensuring a clean-label, high-quality product.
Our tempura mix is free of:
- Eggs
- Preservatives
- MSG
- Flavorings
- Dairy
We use only the best, high-quality, Halal, and Kosher-certified ingredients to create an extra-crispy tempura batter. We guarantee that our tempura batter mix will blend easily and make a lacey and crispy texture that will stay crispy for an extended time. Unlike the competitor brand, which becomes soft and oily after less than 10 minutes, Upper Crust Enterprises vegan tempura maintains its crispy texture, without an oily taste, for over 60 minutes, making it an excellent choice for take-out items. You can trust in the quality of our product.
Second, Replace your standard breadcrumb coating with Upper Crust Enterprises Authentic Panko. Our Panko is free of:
- Eggs
- Preservatives
- MSG
- Artificial Flavorings and Dyes
- Dairy
Compare our ingredient declaration to standard breadcrumbs; you will be surprised by their label! Our Authentic Panko is better suited for frying than standard breadcrumbs and maintains a crispy coating without becoming oily or soggy. It always delivers a light, crispy texture that will never overpower menu items- the perfect crispy outer coating for chicken tenders.
Implementing these two simple switches will improve the quality of your chicken tenders, enhance your menu’s appeal, and meet the growing demand for clean-label, Halal, and Kosher-certified foods. It’s a win-win for your business and customers!
