New product launch - Texas BBQ Chicken

We’ve turned up the flavour dial with a bold new addition to its marinated chicken line-up — Texas BBQ, a smoky, mesquite-style inspired by the open-flame cooking traditions of the Lone Star State.

Available in a variety of cuts – sliced, whole thigh, drumstick, leg and wings, the new Texas BBQ marinated chicken brings flexibility to chefs, caterers, and food-to-go operators looking to ride the ongoing BBQ and Americana trend.

6 On-Trend BBQ Recipes to Fire Up Menus:

To showcase the Texas BBQ marinade, our innovation team has developed six delicious recipes:

• Saucy Slawdown Tacos – Texas BBQ sliced chicken meets zingy slaw in this handheld flavour explosion.
• Joes BBQ Rice Box – The perfect protein-packed lunch solution, with bold Texas BBQ drumsticks, vegetables and brown rice.
• The Smokin’ Sweet Pizza – A sweet-and-savoury twist on pizza, featuring shredded Texas BBQ chicken thigh, onion, jalapenos and melted cheese.
• The BBQ Blaze Burger – Whole Texas BBQ marinated thigh chicken on a toasted bun with smoky BBQ sauce and served with corn ribs.
• Loaded Texas BBQ Chicken Nachos – Texas BBQ marinated sliced chicken, gooey cheese, and all the trimmings — a sharing showstopper.
• Big Tex Waffle’d Chicken – Texas BBQ marinated thigh or sliced chicken topping delicious waffles with tomato, chicken, coriander, chillies.

In Texas, where mesquite wood is prized for its intense, aromatic smoke, from roadside smoke shacks to the street food scene, this flavour profile is a nod to the bold, rustic American BBQ that continues to influence global menus.

Texas BBQ marinated chicken is pre-marinated and available fresh or frozen, ideal for reducing back-of-house prep and maintaining consistency across multiple sites. All Love Joes marinated chicken is British Red Tractor, BRC Accredited and Halal options are available.
