The chicken meals, explained
The chicken meals are why AlBaik is famous. The chicken is broasted, so it is juicy inside with a thin, crisp coating, and the seasoning is mild rather than fiery. A typical meal comes with fries, a soft bun and the famous garlic sauce. The 4 piece meal suits one hungry person; the 8 piece meal is designed for sharing. If you like spicy food, ask about spicy versions at your branch, as options vary by country.
Burgers and sandwiches
- Big BAIK: AlBaik’s best-known chicken burger. A good choice if you want something easy to eat.
- Big BAIK with Cheese and Double BAIK: bigger and richer versions.
- BAIKEEZ Burger with Lahaleebo Sauce: part of the BAIKEEZ range, with its own sauce.
- Crispy BAIK Fillet and Chicken Fillet Sandwich: fillet-based sandwiches.
- Super Baik Grilled Chicken: a grilled option if you want to avoid fried chicken.
- Fish Fillet Burger / Sandwich and Shrimp Sandwich: seafood sandwiches.
Seafood
AlBaik’s jumbo shrimp meals are a favourite with people who have tried them in Saudi Arabia. They come in 10 and 12 piece sizes, plus a smaller value option. Shrimp is traditionally eaten with cocktail sauce, which AlBaik also sells. There is also a fish fillet meal for people who prefer fish.

- Tawuk: a Levantine-style marinated chicken.

Tips for the best experience
- Eat it hot; broasted chicken is best within minutes of being fried.
- Garlic sauce is strong. Try a little before you pour it on everything.
- Check prices and the menu in the ALBAIK app before you queue.
- Avoid peak meal times at busy branches.
- Want the taste at home? Try our garlic sauce and broast chicken recipes.
Drinks and desserts
AlBaik’s drinks are simple: soft drinks such as Pepsi, 7UP and Mirinda, Lipton ice teas, bottled water and several fruit juices, including orange, apple, mixed fruit and mango and grape. For dessert, there are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice creams, plus ALBAIK Maamoul. If you want something refreshing with fried food, an ice tea or a juice cuts through the richness better than a very sweet fizzy drink. At home, try our mint lemonade.
