Maniker F&G Launches ‘Old-Fashioned Seasoned Chicken’ for Air Fryers

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] Maniker F&G announced on the 17th that it has launched ‘Old-fashioned Seasoned Chicken Original,’ the first product in the ‘Seasoned Chicken’ series under its air fryer-exclusive brand ‘Air Friends.’

The Old-fashioned Seasoned Chicken Original product is a meal kit that recreates the taste of the early days of seasoned chicken in the 1980s, riding the wave of the retro trend. It has been simplified for air fryer cooking so that it can be easily enjoyed at home.

Maniker F&G has gained great popularity among consumers both online and offline by releasing four types of the ‘Crispy Chicken’ series under the Air Friends lineup, recording cumulative sales of over 1.8 million units to date. Encouraged by this response, the company explained that it ambitiously prepared and introduced a meal kit-style seasoned chicken reflecting customer needs as a follow-up product.

The Old-fashioned Seasoned Chicken Original features a secret seasoning sauce developed after numerous tests and a crispy, thin skin. Even when cooked in an air fryer, it retains the crispy texture of the skin and the chewy, moist meat inside, delivering a perfectly balanced taste.

A Maniker F&G representative stated, “Through ‘Old-fashioned Seasoned Chicken,’ the middle-aged and older generations will feel nostalgia for the 1980s, while the younger generation will fall for the retro taste they have never experienced before,” adding, “We will continue to release follow-up new products reflecting customer needs and make ‘Air Friends’ the leading meat processing brand in Korea.”
