Fancy Hanks Chicken Salt

We've all been asked it before: "regular salt or chicken salt?" Doesn't matter if you call it a potato cake, a scallop, or a fritter — the answer is always chicken salt. Grab some for home and chuck it on hot chips, roast potatoes, popcorn, or anywhere regular salt just isn't cutting it.

What is Chicken Salt?

Chicken salt is Australia's most beloved seasoning — a boldly salty, savoury blend that's been shaken over hot chips at fish-and-chip shops since the 1970s. Despite the name, there's no chicken in it. And in most commercial versions? There's plenty of artificial junk that has no business being anywhere near your spuds.

Fancy Hank's version is different. Developed in our Melbourne kitchen, it's a vegan-friendly, preservative-free chicken salt made with real vegetable powders, spices, and yeast extract — delivering that deep umami hit you remember from the chipper, without the artificial colours or nasties.

The Aussie classic. Done properly.
