Walkers’ Coronation Chicken crisps aim to capture a classic British flavour with its creamy curry notes and subtle sweetness.
On paper, it’s a promising concept, and the seasoning itself is fairly well balanced — mild mustard, a touch of mango chutney sweetness, and gentle spice all come through without overpowering the palate.
Flavour with potential, texture that falls short
Where these crisps let me down is in the texture department.
Walkers has long been known for a very thin, light crisp — which for some is exactly the point — but for me, that lack of real bite leaves the experience feeling a little underwhelming.
The crisps don’t have the satisfying crunch or sturdy mouthfeel I look for, especially with a flavour profile that’s trying to evoke something rich and comforting.
Seasoning spread thin
The seasoning is delicate, which suits the lighter texture, but it also means the overall impact feels a bit muted. The balance is nice, but it lacks that punch or complexity that might keep you reaching back into the bag.
A polite, quiet homage
If you’re a fan of Walkers’ classic light crisp style, you’ll probably appreciate these — they’re an easy-going, tidy take on Coronation Chicken. But if you prefer a chip with more character underfoot, more crunch, and a seasoning that sticks with you, these might not satisfy.
