Combining two things people thought would probably never come together, Deliveroo has just announced its Easter special.
Available in limited cities across the UK, including Glasgow, the food delivery specialists have created the first southern fried-chicken flavoured chocolate Easter egg.
Available from today (Thursday, April 6), exclusively on the Deliveroo app, the limited-edition and aptly named Southern Fried Choc’nis the UK’s first Easter egg combining chocolate with the crispy spice blend coating that we all know and love.
A spokesperson for the brand said: "This totally unique Easter egg packs a punch, providing the ultimate harmony of savoury and sweet flavours.

"With a double layering of chocolate, the creamy and luxurious milk chocolate eggshell is coated with a layer of caramel-flavoured chocolate for good measure.
The chocolate shell is then dunked in a savoury, crunchy and punchy outer shell inspired by southern fried chicken, with a combination of Deliveroo’s own ‘secret blend’ of spices including garlic and onion powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper and chilli powder."
The limited-edition range of Southern Fried Choc’n Easter Eggs will be available to Deliveroo customers living in areas of London, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and Glasgow.
Head over to the Deliveroo app from Thursday and snap one up for just £3.99 (does anyone else think this looks like the word egg? Or is it just us?).
Aisha Jefferson at Deliveroo added: “Love fried chicken? Love chocolate? Then put your hands together because today Deliveroo is laying a new egg which is set to rule the roost this Easter.
"With our first savoury and sweet combination, what better flavours to combine than the nation’s favourite crispy coating and smooth milk chocolate?
"As with previous years, we’re expecting this one to fly off the menu, so be ready on Thursday when Southern Fried Choc’n hit the app.”
This new release marks the fifth consecutive year that Deliveroo has launched a special limited-edition Easter egg, with previous sell-out Easter eggs including the Easter Hunny in partnership with Love of Huns (2022), Mystic Egg in partnership with Mystic Meg (2021), theInvisible Egg (2020) and the Dragon Egg (2019).
You can search for Southern Fried Choc’n in the app or online, with the firm saying it will only be available until the limited supply runs out.
