In a move that will delight fans of quirky fast-food merch, Red Rooster has announced the triumphant return of its viral Fried Lights Fried Chicken Candles. Back by overwhelming popular demand, the limited-edition candles are set to hit shelves just in time for the festive season, offering a last chance to own a piece of culinary-inspired novelty.
A Sizzling Comeback for a Viral Sensation
The unique collaboration between the iconic Australian chicken chain and fragrance experts Angel Aromatics first captured the nation's attention earlier this year. The initial three-pack candle release sold out in a matter of days in 2024, forcing a repeat production run to meet the incredible demand. Now, after significant public push for a comeback, the candles are getting one final release starting December 1st.
Priced at $29.95, the set is pitched as a fun Christmas gift or the ultimate stocking stuffer. However, shoppers are warned to act quickly, as the company anticipates the nostalgic and novel items will fly off the virtual shelves just as fast as they did during their first viral run.
What's in the Box?
Each pack is designed to mimic the beloved Red Rooster experience. It contains three hyper-realistic soy wax candles that look astonishingly like the chain's famous fried chicken: two large drumsticks and one smaller piece. The packaging completes the illusion, presented as an authentic Red Rooster three-piece Satisfryer meal box.
Adding genuine value to the novelty, every pack also includes a voucher for a free regular chips at any Red Rooster restaurant nationwide. It's a combination that targets both the dedicated chicken lover and anyone seeking a humorous Kris Kringle gift to elevate the silly season.
A Match Made in Fragrance Heaven
The partnership pairs Red Rooster's half-century of expertise in satisfying Australia's chicken cravings with the established reputation of Angel Aromatics. This Balmain-based fragrance powerhouse, an Australian brand renowned since 1993, is known for high-quality, sustainable home scents.
The collaboration focuses on creating unique, vegan-friendly products free from parabens and phthalates. This union of a fast-food giant specialising in both roast and fried chicken with a premium home fragrance creator is a testament to innovative marketing and product development.
With Red Rooster recently undertaking menu upgrades and restaurant refurbishments, this family-owned business continues to engage its community in unexpected ways. The Fried Lights candles are more than a product; they are a celebration of a uniquely Aussie flavour experience, designed to keep the savoury essence of a Red Rooster feast lingering long after the meal is finished.
The message from Red Rooster is clear: this is the final opportunity. The viral Fried Lights Fried Chicken Candles are here for a limited time only, and once they're gone, they're gone for good.
