Roasted Chicken & Thyme is Walkers admitting that their standard Roast Chicken is boring. The addition of thyme, the “roasted” specification, the Sensations format, all of it exists to create the chicken crisp that the standard range should have been.
The improvement is substantial. There’s actual herb presence here, the thyme providing aromatic complexity that standard Roast Chicken completely lacks. The chicken flavour has depth, savoury richness that registers as real flavour rather than vague meatiness.
The wavy crisp format supports the flavouring properly. Texture that holds together. Crunch that satisfies. A product worthy of the flavour rather than undermining it.
The comparison
Eat standard Walkers Roast Chicken, then eat these. The gap is enormous. Same company, same basic flavour concept, completely different quality level. Sensations is what happens when Walkers actually commits.
