I'm interested in buying a deep fryer and making my own chips at home, however the 3 or 4 times I've bought various chicken salts in supermarkets it ended up tasting nothing like the chicken salt the chip shops use.
Cheers for any info.
Where can you buy chicken salt that the fish and chip shop uses?

The often sell small take away jars of it in the fish and chip shop if you can't see it ask, I'm sure they will have a big container of it out back that they can sell you a few scoops of.
Or you could order a box of frozen chips from a frozen food wholesaler, and order a container of chicken salt from them.Aldi has the Stonemill brand of chicken salt
I swear I've seen chicken salt in the condiment aisle in Coles?
So has the OP:
I've bought various chicken salts in supermarkets
But
it ended up tasting nothing like the chicken salt the chip shops use.
@Coles Vegeta brand chicken salt
Have you tried the nandos chicken salt, you can buy separately.
Saw small packets of this on the counter for sale at our local take away … ask yours if they would sell you some. Take a container.
I have been asking that question for years, none of the shop products cut it, so I use a mix ofchicken stock powder and salt.
There's a chicken chippy salt that I use made by Anchor. You can get it from the supermarket. http://www.sanza.co.uk/pics/8819.jpg
Our local told us they were using Mitani chicken salt like 15 years ago when we asked. You can get it from your local coles.

just put some cooked chicken and some regular salt in a blender
Purchase LEE brand, chicken broth powder from your local Asian grocer, cost about $3, mix it with table salt at a ratio of 3:1 salt:broth powder. It's as good if not better than any chicken salt you will taste from a fish n chip shop. Add a little chilli powder & sweet paprika, even better.

You can easily make chicken salt from a stock recipe :) google it
Make your own. This one is great:
6 tbsp finely ground salt
2 tbsp MSG (or add the same amount in salt again if omitting MSG)
3 tsp Castor sugar
3 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Cornflour
1/2 tsp White Pepper
1/4 tsp Citric Acid
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/8 tsp Finely ground Celery SeedGrind the lot with mortar & pestle. It absorbs moisture after a few days. So store it in a jar instead of an open salt shaker. Add only a little at a time into a salt shaker and immediately replace the jar lid to keep the rest of it dry. Add a few grains of rice to the shaker and shake it up to break it up. Or skip the rice (it never works for me), and put only a little mix into the salt shaker at a time. Pour what you don't use back into the jar. If the mix in the jar does get moist, back into the mortar & pestle again for 30 seconds. Doing this means we use most of it before it gets moist anyway.
Those of you using stock cubes, etc. should try this.
I Just asked the chicken shop if I could buy some of the chicken salt concentrate. They were fine with it. Bought like $15 worth and got the ratio for it and now it's in my cupboard. Of course now that I have I don't eat fried foods at home like ever so there it sits waiting lol.
Anyway make sure to try your local shops chicken salts to make sure you like the blend they have as many shops have different brands. KFC has the best but won't sell it.
KFC chickens salt is nice
