Honest Burgers has created a Caribbean Fried Chicken Burger with the help of Grenada’s tourism board, Pure Grenada. The special addition to the menu is available at all 43 of the upmarket burger chain’s restaurants until 3 July.
It’s described as a trip of a lifetime packed into a crowd-pleasing buttermilk fried burger. The fried chicken sits on a bed of Honest Burgers’ ‘Spice Isle’ coleslaw – white cabbage and buttermilk enlivened with a blend of Grenada’s famous nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and turmeric. The chicken is drizzled with BBQ sauce mixed with spicy yellow scotch bonnet pepper sauce, plus an aromatic mayonnaise containing garlic and Grenadian herbs.
After accepting Pure Grenada’s invitation to visit the country, Adam Layton, Head of Food at Honest Burgers, said: “I had a great time eating, drinking, and dancing around Grenada. The locals are very friendly, and the food is varied and delicious. So many treats to be had – if I had to recommend something it would be the crab backs at BB’s. I have a renewed faith in rum, which was an everyday ritual. We also picked up some of the local soca and jab jab, carnival tunes so expect to hear them on rotation for the month across our restaurants.”
Petra Roach, CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority, added: “Food is a way of life here in Grenada, so it was a great pleasure to host Adam and see him and the team completely immerse themselves in the Spice Isle. Our island has an incredible abundance of natural produce – and spices, of course – so it’s fantastic to see how authentic flavours inspired Honest Burgers’ Caribbean Fried Chicken Burger. The recipe is not just delicious, it’s also a beautiful reflection of our tri-island state.”
Grenada is known for its 40 white-sand beaches, including the world-famous Grand Anse beach, 15 breathtaking waterfalls, five chocolate factories, three rum distilleries and more than 30 dive sites.
