Chubby Chick Premium in Windpompleks, Retief Street, continues to be one of Potchefstroom’s most-loved food stops, not only for their high-quality chicken products, but also for a growing range of delicious homemade treats, freezer favourites, and convenient ready-to-cook meals.
Viewed from a community perspective, Chubby Chick has become the go-to place for families who want flavour, convenience, and affordability under one roof.
Quick, Healthy, Everyday Convenience
Air-Fryer Fish Cakes – Lunch Made Easy
Chubby Chick’s fish cakes have fast become a favourite among busy households. A few minutes in the air-fryer and you have a crunchy, wholesome, high-protein meal ready to serve. Add a fresh salad on the side and you have a quick lunch that’s both nutritious and satisfying, ideal for students, parents, or anyone wanting a healthier option without the fuss.
Comfort Food the Easy Way
Mozzarella Chicken Bake
One of the store’s most popular ready-to-cook dishes combines chicken, mozzarella, and spring onion in one convenient tray. Simply place it in the oven and enjoy a creamy, flavour-rich dinner with minimal effort. It’s perfect for busy weeknights and tastes like something you’d expect from a family-style kitchen - comforting, cheesy, and packed with flavour.
Celebrating Local Homemade Goodness
Chubby Chick Premium takes pride in supporting homemade, hand-crafted treats produced locally. It’s a reminder that some of the best flavours come from traditional, home-grown recipes.
Homemade Koeksisters
A golden favourite on the shelves, sticky, sweet, and twisted to perfection. Many locals will tell you these koeksisters taste “just like Ouma used to make.”Even better? They freeze beautifully, making them perfect for unexpected guests or weekend tea moments.
Traditional Rusks
The shelves offer a wide variety of rusks, from classic buttermilk to bran-and-raisin combinations. For customers with dietary needs, there are also options suitable for diabetics (though it’s always recommended to check with a medical professional when in doubt). These rusks carry the authentic taste of homemade, oven-baked tradition.
Sweet Chilli Pepper Jam
A crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with cheese platters, crackers, or even as a topping for baked Camembert. It also makes a lovely gift addition. It’s the kind of product that reminds customers of how special homemade pantry items truly are.
Seasonal Reminders for Smart Shopping
Chubby Chick loves keeping customers ready for South Africa’s unpredictable weather patterns, cold today, warm tomorrow. A friendly reminder remains: remember to bring your cooler box so your frozen products stay safe and fresh, especially during hotter days.
