What is the official Friendsgiving food?

For many people, they would prefer to skip the family table and opt for a gathering of friends this holiday season. While there is much table about higher food costs and food purchase limitations, it might be time to table that turkey talk and opt for another food on the table. It might be time to serve the official Friendsgiving food this year.

Although food is often woven into holiday traditions, the reality is that food is just one portion of the event. Granted, no one really wants a bland, boring meal, but the menu doesn’t have to be limited to just one bird. This year, Tyson wants people to think beyond the turkey.

Sometimes at the Friendsgiving table, the menu is a smorgasbord of deliciousness. Global flavors meet classic American fare in a fusion of flavors. According to a recent study, “65% of people who celebrate Friendsgiving want chicken during the holidays and 77% want to create new traditions.” It seems that the tide has turned on the turkey.

Chicken becomes the official Friendsgiving food.

While respondents want more chicken on their Friendsgiving table, the reasoning is varied. From different flavors to familiarity of cooking, there are plenty of reasons to give chicken its moment to shine.

Colleen Hall, senior director of marketing with Tyson brand said, “Chicken is the perfect centerpiece for Friendsgiving. It is delicious, easy to prepare, and can be used in a variety of different dishes which is what Friendsgiving is all about – enjoying the food you want with your chosen fr-amily.”

As people finalize that Friendsgiving menu, the chicken recipes are bountiful. From the simple roasted chicken to Korean Fried Chicken, there are a myriad of other flavorful options.

More importantly, there is less pressure when it comes to cooking chicken. Just the thought of cooking a roasted chicken is far less daunting that that gigantic turkey. With less pressure, everyone can focus on the important part of Friendsgiving, enjoying good times with friends.

This Friendsgiving make the menu a cluck above the rest and make chicken the star of the holiday table.
