Questions about Chiko roll
Does a Chiko roll contain chicken?
Despite the name, the traditional filling is mainly beef and vegetables, including cabbage, carrot and celery. Recipes can differ, so check the ingredients if you need to avoid a particular food.
How do you cook a frozen Chiko roll?
For a crisp shell, deep-fry it from frozen in oil at 180 °C for about 5–6 minutes, turning it so it browns evenly. Let it drain briefly and make sure the filling is steaming hot before eating.
Can you cook a Chiko roll in an air fryer?
Yes. Air-fry it from frozen at 200 °C for about 12–15 minutes, turning halfway, until the outside is crisp and the centre is steaming hot.
What do you serve with a Chiko roll?
It is often eaten as a snack on its own, or with tomato sauce. For a fuller meal, serve it with a simple salad or chips.
How should you store a Chiko roll after cooking?
Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate them in a covered container and eat within two days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheating in an oven or air fryer helps bring back the crisp pastry.
Why is it called a Chiko roll if it is not a chicken roll?
The name is a shortened form of “chicken roll”, the name used for the snack when it was first developed in Australia in the 1950s. The familiar version came to be filled chiefly with beef and vegetables rather than chicken.
