To celebrate one year of the Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce, Heinz and Morley’s are teaming up with cult Manchester bakery Siop Shop to create something no one saw coming: the Heinz x Morley’s Siop Shop Fried Chicken Sauce Doughnut.
On Thursday 11th September, the limited-edition doughnuts will be up for grabs at Siop Shop’s Tib Street café, with the first 100 guests through the door receiving a free doughnut plus a full-size bottle of Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce to take the flavours home with them.
This isn’t your average sweet treat. The doughnut is filled with a savoury custard made from Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce, topped with a glossy fried chicken sauce glaze, and finished with a crunchy ‘fried chicken’ crumb while all completely vegetarian.
The collaboration brings together two cult food heroes: the sauce that took supermarket shelves by storm, and Manchester’s Siop Shop, renowned for its inventive flavour twists and dedicated following. Heinz’s condiment mastery brought the tangy, creamy sauce to life with just the right kick, and it’s become a fridge-door staple for sauce lovers across the UK – and now, it’s making its way into Manchester’s doughnut scene in signature Siop Shop style.
Since its launch in April 2024, Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce has become a viral favourite. Born from the partnership between Heinz and cult South London chicken shop Morley’s, the sauce quickly became the fastest-growing Heinz flavoured sauce of the last three years, winning fans nationwide.
For those who miss out on opening day, the Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce Doughnut with remain on Siop Shop’s menu across the weekend (12th-13th September) priced at for £4.50.
Thiago Rapp, Director of Taste Elevation at Heinz, says:“Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce has already made its mark in kitchens across the UK, and this collaboration with Siop Shop shows just how far its influence has spread. Bringing the bold flavour of fried chicken culture to Manchester’s most iconic doughnut shop is the perfect way to celebrate year one and showcase the creative versatility of the sauce.”
Shan Selvendran, co-owner of Morley’s, adds:
“When we came out with Heinz x Morley’s Fried Chicken Sauce, this is the kind of impact we could’ve hoped for. Morley’s has always been more than chicken – it’s culture, it’s bringing people together and now, thanks to Siop Shop, South London’s spirit’s made it all the way up North…in doughnut form.”
Lucy Jackson, co-founder of Siop Shop, said:
“At Siop Shop, we’ve always loved playing with unexpected flavours, so turning Fried Chicken Sauce into a doughnut felt like the perfect challenge. Working with Heinz and Morley’s has been such a fun process – we love to experiment with flavour and form, so we’ve really enjoyed being part of this collaboration. As a Manchester café, it means a lot to us to bring this iconic South London flavour up north and give our customers something fun, bold and uniquely Siop Shop to enjoy.”
