Coles has launched an Old El Paso Mexican Style Roast Chicken across Australia, giving shoppers a ready-to-eat option for tacos, wraps or a quick dinner. The limited-edition chicken launched on November 4, but a national launch does not guarantee that a particular store has one ready when you arrive.
Coles announced an introductory price of A$13.50 for the first two weeks, followed by a standard price of A$14.50. Before making a special trip, check your chosen store, confirm the current price and read the package for the product details that matter to you.
Destaques
The product is a Mexican-inspired hot roast chicken created through a collaboration between Coles and Old El Paso. Coles promotes it as a cooked, seasoned chicken that can be pulled apart for tacos. It can also be served as a roast or used in wraps, salads and nachos.
Coles announced the November 4 national launch, pricing and limited run in its launch announcement. Its online storefront identifies the item as Old El Paso Mexican Style Roast Chicken and says it is sold in stores and at selected Click & Collect locations.
The sources checked did not provide a verified complete ingredient list, allergen statement, nutrition panel or weight for this specific chicken. Those details should be checked on the actual package or confirmed with Coles before purchase. Do not assume they are the same as those of Coles' regular roast chicken.
Coles announced an introductory price of A$13.50 for the first two weeks and a regular price of A$14.50. That makes the announced introductory saving A$1 per chicken. The announcement did not specify an exact promotional end date, so check the shelf label or your order total for the price that applies when you buy.
If you are comparing dinner costs, include any extras you need, such as tortillas, salad or cheese. An Uber Eats order may also have delivery or service charges, and the amount shown in the app is the figure to check before placing an order.
Start with the Coles website or app and set your location and preferred shopping method. Search for “Old El Paso Mexican Style Roast Chicken” and check whether your selected store or collection location offers it. Coles' national promotion is a useful starting point, but it is not a live stock guarantee for every store.
If you need the chicken for a particular meal, have a backup in mind. The four-month period is Coles' announced plan, not a promise that every store will have stock throughout it. Individual locations could sell out earlier, and future availability has not been confirmed.
Read the ingredient list and allergen information on the Old El Paso chicken itself, including any seasoning or stuffing information shown on its packaging. Check the use-by or other date information and storage instructions as well. If the label is missing, unclear or does not answer your question, ask Coles staff for product-specific information before buying.
For a food allergy or medically necessary dietary restriction, do not rely on the brand name, the word “seasoned,” or the label of another roast chicken. Recipes and handling conditions can differ. Likewise, the sources checked do not establish that this specific product is gluten-free, dairy-free or suitable for any particular diet.
The chicken is sold cooked, so it can be served as purchased. For a simple meal, pull the meat apart and add it to tortillas with vegetables, or serve portions alongside a salad. Check the package instructions for any product-specific handling advice.
Plan to take a hot chicken home promptly. Food Standards Australia New Zealand advises people at greater risk of foodborne illness to use hot takeaway chicken immediately or refrigerate leftovers and use them within a day of purchase. See its food safety guidance for people at risk for more detail.
