Nisa's

Nisa's is a British halal frozen food brand, and its packs carry the Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC) mark that many Muslim households look for before buying meat. The chicken is made in the UK, and the brand is known for coated chicken in the style of a high street chicken shop, made for cooking at home.

On our shelves the Nisa's range sits in chicken fillets and burgers, part of the frozen chicken and kebabs section of our frozen department. The focus is on hot and spicy mini fillets: whole pieces of chicken breast in a crisp breadcrumb, seasoned with a bold mix of chilli, paprika and black pepper.

Mini fillets are the sort of thing that rescues a busy evening. Bake them until hot and crisp, then serve them with chips and coleslaw, slice them into a wrap with lettuce and garlic mayonnaise, or tuck them into a toasted bun with a slice of cheese. They also work on an iftar table beside samosas and pakoras, or chopped over a rice bowl with a squeeze of lemon and a spoon of chilli sauce. For milder tastes, pair them with yoghurt and cucumber to cool the heat.

Cook the fillets from frozen and check they are piping hot all the way through before serving, following the times on the pack. Never refreeze once thawed. To compare coated chicken from other makers, browse chicken nuggets and bites and the seekh and charcoal kebabs shelf.
