What Aldi's chicken looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 86 Aldi chicken products with usable figures is 16.5g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 8.9g median for chicken across every chain and brand in the database, which is 1,867 products.

66 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the six chains carrying enough chicken to compare, Aldi has the strongest own-label range; SuperValu the weakest.

The best Aldi option here reaches 22.9g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider chicken group something reaches 24g, so Aldi is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 60 to 307 per 100g across the Aldi chicken range, a 5-fold spread, so “Aldi chicken” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Aldi

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Aldi Everyday Essentials Cooked Chicken Breast Mini Fillets 170g tops the table at 22.9g of protein per 100 calories.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Chicken across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Aldi sells is the other half of the comparison.

A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.

FAQ

How many chicken products does Aldi have?

We track 86 Aldi chicken products with full label figures. 86 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 66 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Aldi the best place to buy chicken?

On protein per calorie alone, Aldi's median is 16.5g against 8.9g for chicken across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
