Lidl chicken ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 291 Lidl chicken products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

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

Median across the 291 Lidl chicken products with usable figures is 12.8g 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.

177 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in two, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the six chains carrying enough chicken to compare, Lidl comes third, behind Aldi on 16.5g.

The best Lidl option here reaches 23.5g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole chicken group gets.

Calories run from 49 to 530 per 100g across the Lidl chicken range, an 11-fold spread, so “Lidl chicken” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Lidl Birchwood Wafer Thin Roast Chicken Slices 200g tops the table at 23.5g of protein per 100 calories.

1 of the 291 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Chicken across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Lidl 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.
