The Chiko Roll was born in Bendigo, where local Frank McEnroe wanted a snack to eat with one hand at the footy. Inspired by the spring roll, he saw potential for a more filling and robust snack tailored to Aussie tastes. The result is a true Australian icon that's been enjoyed by millions for over 60 years.

Today Chiko brings you everyone's favourite snacks in easy take home packs - like the original Chiko Roll. Meat and vegies in a delicious crunchy coating, it's still the best one-handed snack around. So what are you waiting for, grab a Chiko Roll today

      • bardlee on 09/09/2022 - 09:59

        Yeah I don't think they taste as good but at less than a dollar each it's a cheap meal.

      Chiko Chicks still a thing. Currently Annette Melton.

    Something about the imagery of a Chiko Roll being born, tickles my fancy…

    I just bought an air fryer, do they cook a good Chicko Roll 🤔

    • kingmoron on 09/09/2022 - 08:46

      They're only edible if you use a lot of oil

      • G-rig on 10/09/2022 - 08:37
        +1

        I'm sure there's already a lot of oil in them.
        Air fryer would be fine.

        Ps. They almost vegetarian.

    • OzyBe on 09/09/2022 - 08:47

      I have cooked them in the air fryer, and they turn out acceptable.

    • No on 09/09/2022 - 09:56

      180 degrees for 20 mins.

      For best results turn half way through.

      Bon appetite, mate.

      • bardlee on 09/09/2022 - 10:03

        I microwave most of my larger goods first then air fry. A chiko roll would take 2 mins microwave then 10 mins the air fried possibly turning after 5.

      Yeah they are not too bad. Some good tips in the replies here. You can give em a bit of a spray with canola oil between microwave and air fryer if you want more of a deep-fried experience.

    Damn these went from $2.60 to $3.60 in two years

      It was $1.80 at half price at coles regularly before the covid.

      Than $1.90, $2.1, $2.30, and I stop noticing them so often.

    Came for the bargains, stayed for the Chiko roll history lesson.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:20

      At the peak of its popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, 40 million Chiko Rolls were sold annually in Australia.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:20

      They were invented in Bendigo.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:21

      Invented by Frank McEncroe, inspired by the Chinese spring roll and first sold in 1951 as the "Chicken Roll" despite not actually containing chicken.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:21

      The snack was designed to be easily eaten on the move without a plate or cutlery.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:22

      A Chiko Roll's filling is primarily cabbage and barley, as well as carrot, green beans, beef, beef tallow, wheat cereal, celery and onion.

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:22

      The filling is partially pulped and enclosed in a thick egg and flour pastry tube, designed to survive handling at football matches

    • ShipShapeRC on 10/09/2022 - 08:23

      In September 2016 a disagreement in the Parliament of Australia over the origins of the Chiko Roll occurred. The Nationals' Member for Calare Andrew Gee, Labor’s Member for Bendigo Lisa Chesters and Member for Riverina Michael McCormack all claimed the snack originated in their respective hometowns.

  • Scrooge McGoose on 09/09/2022 - 09:25

    A true chiko roll needs to be deep fried and kept under heat lamps for half a day.

    If you do find a takeaway shop that sells them they often just cook them to order… its just not the same.

      Buy yourself a chiko roll at the train station and you wont even make it to your destination before it starts coming out

    Chiko roll + 2 potato cakes (not scallops) w/ chicken salt = chef kiss (and also a great fat Friday brekkie)

      Silly customer, you cannot hurt a Twinkie.

  • neonlight on 09/09/2022 - 11:31

    They taste plain and no real chicken inside you might as well not buy any just pastry pure pastry

    • RSmith on 09/09/2022 - 11:46

      No chicken in Chiko rolls.

      They never had chicken in them.

      Mutton, cabbage, barley, celery, rice, carrots and spices.

    • Rod71 on 09/09/2022 - 13:54

      Haha, no chicken :)

      • neonlight on 09/09/2022 - 18:59

        • GrueHunter on 09/09/2022 - 21:06

          Help me to get it then. What's the punchline?

  • ninohax on 09/09/2022 - 11:57

    Highly recommend to not get these even if its 8 @3.50.These are just outright horrendous.Bland,mushy and soggy af.

      You know you're supposed to cook them right?

    • paulaus on 09/09/2022 - 14:24

      Thaw for 1 minute in microwave then 20 minutes in air fryer not soggy then.

      • ninohax on 09/09/2022 - 17:05

        Good idea but still it won't compensate for the non-existent flavour

    • deniz on 09/09/2022 - 15:54

      Soggy? how did you cook it? Mine came out super crispy when I shallow fried them in a pan.

      • ninohax on 09/09/2022 - 17:04

        same shallow fried it. I am talking about the filling being soggy btw.

  • shabaka on 09/09/2022 - 12:15

    Back in the day if Frank ran out of cabbage he would just put lucerne hay in the Chiko rolls:-

  • Misha Bakunin on 09/09/2022 - 18:10

    I mean who hasn't had one of these and be an Australian? Would i buy one in my older years? No.

  • Eeples on 10/09/2022 - 01:07

    6g of fat per 100g

    You can do a lot worse.

    • G-rig on 11/09/2022 - 06:25

      Yeah you can do a lot better too.

      Of that half is saturated fat, so 4g per Chiko roll, and 640mg sodium.

      • Eeples on 12/09/2022 - 21:00

        You can do a lot better but perhaps not any better at all in a ‘class’ of food which I might include; meat pies, pizza, KFC, burgers, chips etc

        I’d be interested in less fatty food in this ‘class’ I just made up. Any ideas ?

        Generally though isn’t 6g/100g of fat pretty good?

        • G-rig on 12/09/2022 - 23:51

          It's probably ok compared to other junk, yeah.
          Not sure, something with next to no saturated fat and less salt be good.

    Got a box half price at Coles ($3 till Wednesday). Go alright.. 1m30s in the microwave then 10 min in the AF @ 175 deg.
