• A woman on TikTok was the latest of many others who have complained about the enormous size of chickens these days
• Goldi Chicken came under fire from concerned customers as some made viral videos expressing their shock
• The company responsible for producing Goldi, Astral Foods, spoke to Briefly News and assured customers they are selling good quality chicken

Social media was ablaze with videos of unusually big chicken sizes from Goldi Chicken. One of the latest videos shows a woman barely able to fit two pieces in her air fryer.

Goldi Chicken customers were especially vocal, and the company spoke to Briefly News about their concerns. The brand is produced by Astral Foods, and the managing director, Frans Van Heerden, explained that loadshedding made their growing period longer for chickens since they can not store them frozen for as long. He said:

"We only got a generators in February, so the packets people are received now are from when we did not have generators and had to wait longer and the chickens got bigger."

Will Goldi Chicken pieces ever go back to normal?

The TikTok of the big chicken piece left people with questions. Some saw the bright side and remarked that the bigger pieces would last them longer. Mr Van Heerden clarified that the pieces should be back to normal by June.
