Iceland are recruiting for a fried chicken taster who will get a £5,000 salary and a year’s supply of chicken. The retail giant have launched a nationwide search for a Chief Chicken Officer (CCO).
The applicant will be given the chance to shape the future of the retail giant’s chicken range, alongside a range of perks. The new CCO will embark on a behind-the-scenes tour of Iceland’s secret testing kitchen and be the first to sample and review the new chicken range – giving honest and expert feedback.
Iceland Foodsresearch revealed that Brits’ favourite meat is chicken with more than half eating it more than three times a week. One in ten eat itup to six times a week.
Paul Dhaliwal, Chief Commercial Officer at Iceland Foods, said: “We wouldn’t be surprised if we sell more chicken than KFC, so we’ve plucked up the courage to put our money where our mouth is and advertised this dream opportunity.There’s no fowl play here, just £5,000 and a year’s supply of our biggest and tastiest ever chicken range.”
Those interested in applying to become Iceland’s CCO must answer three simple questions online for Iceland’s expert judges to review:
1. What’s your ultimate chicken flavour combination – and why would it rule the roost?
2. If you could create your own Iceland chicken product, what would it be and how would you market it?
3. What’s the funniest or wildest or chicken-related story from your life?
As well as the unusual job ad, Iceland will be taking over a Fulham chicken shop for one-day-only, on February 13. The opportunity will give customers the chance to get their hands on new chicken products for free while stocks last, including their new Chicken Tenders and chips.
Foodies are invited from 12pm at 264 North End Road, Fulham, London, SW6 1NJ.
