Major discount chain is selling bottles of US Chick-fil-A burger sauce as shoppers go wild for it
The famous "delicious and delightful" burger sauce can now be purchased across Britain.
Last year, the popular US chain announced it would be opening five locations across the UK.
These restaurants are the first to be opened outside of the US, and can be found in Belfast, Liverpool, Leeds, and London.
But don't worry if you don't live near one of these cities, because you can now recreate that Chick-fil-A magic at home.
One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the brand's iconic sauce on the shelf of a popular retailer.
"New Chick-fil-A sauce at Home Bargains," the Facebook user captioned a picture of the product.
And if the Home Bargains buy isn't enough to hold you over until you can get your hands on the real thing, why not plan out your order now?
The Sun's Money team previously visited Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta to test out all the menu items on offer.
According to them, Chick-fil-A's signature fan favourite - the Original Chicken Sandwich - "reinvents" what you may be used to when choosing a fast food main.
Meanwhile, the original chicken Chick-fil-A sandwich contains a freshly breaded boneless breast of chicken, pressure cooked in 100% refined peanut oil and served on a toasted bun with dill pickle chips.
In fact, all of the items cooked in the chain's fryers are done so in refined peanut oil - but don't panic if you are allergic to nuts.
COMING SOON: US Fast Food Chains Invade the UK!
The peanut oil is refined, bleached and deodorized, which means the proteins which can trigger a reaction, are stripped out during the processing.
Reporters for the Money team described the chicken sandwich as "unparalleled if compared to similar items available at McDonald's or KFC".
"What I loved about taking a bite was realising how fresh and unprocessed the chicken breast meat was," one reporter said.
"Unlike chicken patties from other fast food chains, the meat at Chick-fil-A seemed to break away just like it would if you were cooking your own chicken breast at home.
"Knowing it isn't ultra-processed makes the whole sandwich taste even better."
When is Chick-fil-A coming to the UK?
Chick-fil-A is set to open its first UK site in early 2025 and then up to five in the following two years.
The move comes after Chick-fil-A opened a temporary pop-up branch in Reading in 2019.
However, the town centre restaurant shut after its six-month lease expired in 2020.
It came after controversy around comments by the company's then-chief executive, Dan Cathy, opposing same-sex marriage.
While we don't know where Chick-fil-A plans to open its new UK restaurants just yet, the company told The Sun that they will be strategically located across the UK to give everyone access to the brand.
The chain's most popular menu items, including the original Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich, nuggets, waffle fries, and spicy deluxe chicken sandwich, will all appear on UK high streets in 2025.
The new Belfast branch first opened its doors on Thursday, March 27, at the Applegreen Templepatrick Services on the outskirts of the city.
Meanwhile the locations in Britain have yet to announce official opening dates.
Chick-fil-A did reveal plans to expand further into the European market.
The company also shared its intention to open stores in Asia by 2030.

Stacey Solomon marks huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune
STACEY Solomon's new business venture is booming - adding to her whopping £7million fortune. The Loose Women panelist and mum-of-five announced a major new career move in 2023, and told fans: "I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life." 5 5 5 All-woman founded haircare brand REHAB captured Stacey 's attention years ago - but she told how she had taken the surprise decision to become part of the team. The Sort Your Life Out anchor, 35, invested her own cash into small haircare brand REHAB, owning a third of the firm in doing so. Now sources have told MailOnline the all-female business has reached a six figure milestone which has seen them "making millions" in the sector. Stacey, along with business partners Anastasia and Vicky, is also seeing their popularity "expanding." REHAB has also been hailed the fastest-growing beauty brand on the FEBE 100 list for 2025, in yet another boost for the trio. The collection has now expanded into bodycare products as well as haircare as it expands its offering further. Its Instagram page now reads: "It's time to REHAB. Your hair and body." Stacey first revealed her latest career project in a lengthy message on social media. At the time, she gushed to fans: "I can't put into words how incredible it feels to say that I am going to start a whole new chapter in my life championing incredible women in business. "I see so many talented people day in day out working so hard to achieve their dreams and it's not easy out there. Stacey Solomon hits back at cruel troll who branded her a 'horse mouth' "I can't wait to give my absolute all to Rehab and take it to the places it deserves to be." REHAB was founded by two female best friends who say they were "trying to keep up with multiple jobs, children, and their London based social lives". Describing themselves on REHAB's website, they said: "Busy women with a single mission - transform tired hair to its full healthy, glossy potential." Stacey presents BBC's Sort Your Life Out as well as being a panellist on Loose Women. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. CASHING IN Back in April, The Sun exclusively revealed the X Factor alum was raking in £57K a month. Her performing arts firm, Key Maps Entertainments, which funnels all of her earnings, has filed new accounts which lay bare just how rich Stacey really is. The figures mean that Stacey is taking home a tidy £8,270 a DAY. Stacey first set up the firm in 2012 in order to disclose all her financial earnings. In 2014, it was reported that she had banked a more modest £100,000 over the previous two years. The ITV and BBC darling managed to achieve the major figure largely thanks to her TV endeavours including her NTA-winning show Sort Your Life Out as well as her brand new reality show with her husband Joe Swash. But being on the small screen isn't the only way she's has topped up her bank balance. Stacey has helped to improve her massive fortune thanks to countless brand and endorsement deals. She has worked alongside Asda, Jet2, In The Style and Primark in order to keep her earnings rising year on year. 5 5

Angela Rayner slashes right-to-buy discounts in ‘attack on aspiration'
Discounts for council tenants seeking to buy their homes are to be drastically cut by Angela Rayner. As a result of the move, which will impose stringent restrictions on the right-to-buy scheme, the Deputy Prime Minister was accused of an 'attack on aspiration'. Under the new scheme, the discount will be cut to between five and 15 per cent, depending on how long the tenant has lived there, down from 35 per cent at present. Ms Rayner also announced that tenants must have lived in a council house for 10 years – up from the current three – to be able to qualify. People who have previously benefitted from the scheme will be barred from trying again, and newly built council houses will be exempt from the right to buy for 35 years. Kevin Hollinrake, shadow housing secretary, called Ms Rayner a 'hypocrite' as she had benefitted from right to buy herself. In 2007, Ms Rayner bought her former council house in Stockport, Greater Manchester, for £79,000 after claiming a 25 per cent discount. She later sold the property for £48,500 more than she paid for it. 'Today, Labour has chosen to quietly bury bad news, slipping out a policy that slashes right-to-buy eligibility and discounts,' Mr Hollinrake said. 'This is nothing short of an attack on aspiration. Labour is turning its back on the very families who work hard and want a stake in their future.' He added: 'For decades, right to buy has helped millions take their first step onto the housing ladder. Now, this Government is making it harder than ever to own a home. It is increasingly clear that the only guaranteed route to housing in this country is to arrive on a small boat. 'And the hypocrisy is staggering, Angela Rayner has personally benefitted from right to buy. Yet under her party's watch, that opportunity is being stripped away from others. Labour's message to aspiring homeowners is clear.' Right to Buy was the totemic policy of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, helping to propel her to her first general election victory. Sir Keir Starmer promised wholesale reform to restrict access, saying it had too dramatically refused the number of social houses available to people who needed them. Ms Rayner's Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government department announced the changes on Wednesday night, saying it would bring forward legislation to increase the eligibility requirement from three to 10 years. The department said this would allow councils to rebuild their stock and to better ensure that only tenants who have paid rent on their homes for many years are able to benefit from the scheme. The changes will prevent existing property owners, or those who have previously benefitted from the scheme, from exercising the right to buy unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as being the victim of domestic abuse. Newly built social and affordable housing will be exempt from the right to buy for 35 years, making it more financially viable for the council to build new homes. This is much higher than the 10 or 20 years envisioned in a recent consultation document. Labour promised at the last election to build 1.5 million more homes over the course of the Parliament. It says many of these will be social and affordable homes.

Currys reveals stronger profits amid boost from ‘resilient' UK shoppers
Currys has reported stronger sales and profits for the past year as it hailed 'resilient' demand from UK shoppers. The technology retailer said slower inflation and falling interest rates helped support sales from shoppers in the UK. The London company also resumed dividend payments following the upbeat update to shareholders. Group sales grew by 3% to £8.7 billion for the year to May 3, driven by 6% growth in the UK. The retailer, which runs 708 stores, said its UK business benefited from growth in its iD Mobile business, as well as positive computing sales, with 'AI technology sales building momentum'. Meanwhile, sales dropped 2% in its Nordics region, where it said profitability was knocked by 'tough' market conditions. The company said it has traded in line with expectations over the past two months but is 'facing into several headwinds' in the new financial year, including cost increases linked to the Government budget, cost inflation and currency weakness. Alex Baldock, group chief executive, said: 'Currys' performance continues to strengthen and the business has real momentum. 'A stronger Currys is good for colleagues, customers, shareholders and society, and we're doing a better job for all of them. 'We're pleased with our progress, but even more excited about the opportunities ahead of us.' Meanwhile, the group also revealed a 37% increase in adjusted pre-tax profits to £162 million for the year. It also announced a dividend of 1.5p per share for the year after suspending dividend payments in 2023 amid efforts to turn around its Nordics operation.
