The rise of chicken skewers in catering - LoveJoes

4 September, 2024

The landscape of catering is ever-evolving, with new trends and consumer demands shaping the way we serve food.

One item that's been gaining traction across the board is chicken skewers. Whether it's in business and industry, on the high street, or in casual dining restaurants/QSRs, chicken skewers are becoming a staple on menus everywhere.

Why Chicken Skewers Are Taking Over
There are several reasons why chicken skewers are becoming a go-to choice for catering outlets:

  • Versatility: Skewers are incredibly versatile, fitting seamlessly into a variety of cuisines—whether you're serving Mediterranean, Asian, or fusion dishes.
  • Portion Control: With pre-weighed skewers, you get precise portion control, which is crucial for managing costs and sticking to budgets. Each skewer is crafted to deliver consistency in every bite, ensuring your customers get the perfect serving every time.
  • Convenience: They are easy to prepare, quick to cook, and simple to serve, making them an efficient choice for busy kitchens.
