    Chinatown on the Newcastle road in Galway does them. Never heard of these until right now but they look amazing. Must try...

    Anyone trying it should know it's very dry and you should get some sort of sauce. I tried mine with honey sauce and it was amazing, but I'd usually just go for curry.

    All you need is a few beers/soft drinks to wash it down.

    Sauce will kill the crispiness of the chicken!

    This absolutely reeks of hype, but looks tasty enough all the same.

    Had one of these on Friday night, and I will be in no hurry to ever have another.

    Chips (chinese takeaway chips aren't great anyway) and pieces of chicken in batter, with some kind of a spice mixture shook over it, and a few finely sliced chillies inn the mix.

    I was sober when I ate it though, possibly food of God's when locked?

    Sometimes I prefer Chinese chips. They always give you loads and they're not as greasy as chipper chips.
    I also like to add jalapenos to a spice-bag. Lovely vinegary hit and crunch.

    Tbf, one of the posters here posted a picture of his, and the chips looked pretty good, nowhere like my local chinese, they're more of the thinly cut, McDonald's kinda chips, more fries than chips imo.

    You put a "the" in front there like you are talking about a consistent product like "The Big Mac is disgusting".

    Where did you get your spice bag?

    I like salt & chilli wings and some places are far too salty for my taste, so I no longer order them there.

    I think they are poor value compared to other things in most Chinese takeaways, they suit people who want to eat on the go, the kids in my area all get them, other things are harder to eat while standing around.

    I'm an American immigrant and I've always done this to my "chicken nuggets and fries" when I bring them home. I make my own Cajun seasoning (cayenne pepper, chile de arbol powder, black pepper, celery powder, onion powder, granulated garlic, thyme, salt, and a little sugar) and just shake it all down in there :) Maybe I independently "invented" the spice bag.

    I would go for a Japanese version made with soy sauce, bonito tuna flakes, and wasabi, too. Anyone?

    for anyone questioning the original spice bag; have lived beside the Sunflower in Orwell all my life and can remember getting one way back in 2008
