Home Market Foods® is excited to introduce Loaded Chicken Sticks by RollerBites®, a bold, kid-friendly addition to school menus crafted specifically for the K-12 segment. These hand-held, protein-packed favorites are made with premium all-white meat chicken and deliver 2 meat/meat alternates (M/MAs) per serving, offering a delicious solution for lunch, snacks or after-school meals.
Loaded Chicken Sticks are available in two craveable varieties that are sure to be cafeteria favorites. The Pizza Flavored stick features all-white meat chicken and real mozzarella cheese, wrapped in a crisp, lightly breaded coating that’s seasoned with bold pepperoni pizza flavor. The Chicken & Waffles variety offers a sweet-and-savory twist, with tender chicken coated in a golden waffle batter and finished with a real maple sugar glaze.
“Today’s students are looking for fun, familiar flavors while school foodservice teams need convenient, nutritious options that meet USDA guidelines,” says Danielle Diggins, Brand Manager for RollerBites. “Loaded Chicken Sticks deliver on both fronts. They’re a win for schools and a win for kids.”
These fully cooked, easy-to-serve products are ideal for busy school kitchens, offering versatility across multiple-dayparts with strong kid appeal. With pizza still ranking as the number one favorite meal among K-12 students, and chicken & waffles seeing a 15% increase on school menus over the past year1, both varieties are perfectly timed to meet growing demand.
Chicken continues to be a smart, reliable choice in school nutrition, providing lean protein along with essential vitamins and minerals that help fuel students through their day. The hand-held format makes these sticks especially convenient for grab-and-go programs and snack windows, while their fun, familiar flavors keep students coming back for more.
Whether served at lunch, snack time, or as part of an after-school program, Loaded Chicken Sticks by RollerBites deliver the taste kids crave and the nutrition schools require all in one easy option.
