All orders are disptached from our kitchens frozen at -20C and packed in thermal packaging case with ice packs, however the products may thaw when they are delivered. Our products are completely safe to store in your home freezer or chiller.

The Shicken products can be stored in the freezer and consumed over two months to the use by date that is applied on the packaging.

You can also store the Shicken products in your chiller when they are delivered and consume them within 2 days of them being delivered.

When your order is on its way you will receive a text message and email from our courier partner (DHL or DPD) confirming the 1-hour delivery slot, at this point you can contact them to leave your parcel in a safe place or with a neighbour.

All the Shicken meals, snacks and rice products are packed into biodegradable trays and lids which can be disposed of in your compost or home food waste bin. The card sleeves and stickers are made from cardboard and paper and these can be disposed of in your recycling bin.

Our meals can be heated in a microwave in the biodegradable trays they are packed in, alternatively you can leave the meals in the fridge overnight and then cook them in a pan on the stove.

Unfortunately our meals cannot be heated in the oven as the biodegradable trays are not oven safe.

Our snack selection products are best heated in an oven to ensure they are crispy when cooked.
