Chiko Roll

Chiko roll is the Australian version of a Chinese spring roll or an egg roll. This snack consists of a dough made from eggs and flour which is filled with seasonings, carrots, cabbage, barley, mutton, celery, and rice. The dough is thick and almost chewy, and chiko rolls are commonly deep-fried in hot oil.


They can be found in most fish and chips shops. These trademarked snacks were invented by Frank McEnroe in the 1950s. The name chiko roll refers to the original name, chicken roll, even though the snack never contained any chicken meat.


Interestingly, chiko rolls are usually associated with beachside kiosks and surf culture.
