A chicken fillet roll, also known as a hot chicken roll[1][2] or chicken roll (
Irish: rollóg sicín[3]), is a
baguette filled with a
fillet of processed
chicken.[4] It is a ubiquitous
deli item in Ireland, served at a wide variety of convenience shops, newsagents, supermarkets, petrol stations,
fast food restaurants, and casual eateries throughout the country.[5][6][7][8] It has been declared Ireland's favourite deli food.[9] It is often cited as a
hangover cure.[10][11][12]
In addition to chicken, the roll may contain
butter,
mayonnaise, other
condiments,
lettuce,
onion,
cheese,
stuffing, or
potato wedges. Taco sauce is a popular sauce for people to get on a chicken fillet roll; it is a mayonnaise-based sauce, which typically consists of ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and seasonings. Delis often offer a choice of chicken fillet breading, such as plain, spicy, or
Southern-fried.[8][13]Vegan chicken fillet rolls have also been available since 2021, using a plant-based
meat substitute for the chicken.[14][15][16]
