“With the popularity of chicken and consumer demand for portable, protein-rich foods, we needed to find a way to make our products even more accessible throughout the day,” said Dawnna Bowen, Vice President of Innovation, Tyson Foods. “There is nothing like the Tyson Chicken Cups on the market. They are designed to provide a delicious and satisfying snack that fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles, from the office to the carpool line, and after school activities.” 

Americans are increasingly looking for convenient ways to get their protein, with 8 in 10 including it in at least one meal each day1. While meat remains the top choice over eggs, dairy and nuts2, portable chicken in a cup is a great fit for the market today. The Tyson Chicken Cups meet that need, offering a ready-to-eat solution for anytime, anywhere. 

To meet this growing demand, Tyson Chicken Cups are now available nationwide in the freezer aisle.
