Chicken Fat Mayo


Polly’s chicken fat mayo is a bit of kitchen magic, a silky, savoury dressing made from the by‑product of a roast chicken and whipped up in under a minute. Using a homemade Mellow Yellow mayonnaise makes it even more special, bringing a slightly nutty flavour and that signature vibrant golden colour.

Here, it’s served with a classic chicken‑and‑chips combo, but trust us: this mayo is just as good spooned alongside a roast dinner or drizzled over anything that needs a hit of richness and comfort. Next level deliciousness!
