The Pringles Blazin’ Fried Chicken snack chips are headed to the UK market as part of the brand's expansion of its spicy flavor range that aim to satisfy increasing interest in piquant taste experiences. The snack crisps feature the signature format of Pringles and have been covered with ample seasoning that's inspired by the taste of Nashville-style fried chicken. The snack chips are expected to be right at home within the brand's existing spicy flavor range that includes such options as Smokin’ BBQ Ribs, Mexican Chilli & Lime, Flamin’ Cheese and Kickin’ Sour Cream and Sweet Chilli.
