About the Hungry Jack's Thick Cut Chips
Thick Cut Chips are $3.45 and 1,289 kJ. They are the default side at Hungry Jack's and the thing most orders get built around, and the thick cut is a deliberate choice rather than an accident of supply.
A thin chip is mostly surface. It goes very crisp, cools fast and turns limp within five minutes, which is why thin fries at every chain need eating immediately. A thick cut chip has a fluffy interior that holds heat, so it is still worth eating ten minutes into a drive home. That single property is why Hungry Jack's has kept them thick while most of its competitors went the other way.
The texture works differently too. Thin fries give you crunch and salt and not much else. A thick chip gives you a crisp shell and a soft floury middle, which is closer to a roast potato than to a fry. It pairs better with a heavy burger for that reason, since it brings something the burger does not already have.
The numbers are modest for a fried side: 14.3g fat, 41.1g carbs and 593mg sodium for 1,289 kJ, which is around 15% of an adult daily intake. Protein at 3.8g is incidental.
Who it suits: everyone, effectively. It is the side that goes with every burger on the menu, and at $3.45 it is one of the cheaper ways to fill out an order. The Small Thick Cut Chips at $2.00 sit in the Penny Pinchers range for an even cheaper option.
Pair them with anything, or with Battered Onion Rings at $5.20 if one side is not enough.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's Thick Cut Chips at Home?
Proper thick cut chips need two fries at two temperatures. The first cooks the inside, the second builds the crust. Skipping the first gives you chips that are brown outside and raw in the middle. Makes 4 servings.

Method
0 of 8 stepsTips
- Two fries, always. One fry gives you either raw middles or burnt outsides, and there is no temperature that avoids both.
- The rest between fries is the step people skip and it is the one that matters most. The surface dries and that dry surface is what crisps.
- Floury potatoes, not waxy. A waxy potato stays dense and never goes fluffy inside.
Variations
- Toss the finished chips in chicken salt for the Australian standard.
- Add gravy and cheese curds and you have made poutine.
- Serve them under three saucy tenders and it becomes a full meal.
Serve immediately, salted, with whatever burger you made. Thick chips hold heat well, so these are the ones that survive being carried to the table.

A thick chip holds heat and stays edible longer than a thin fry, which goes limp within five minutes of leaving the fryer. It also gives a crisp shell and a soft middle rather than crunch all the way through.
The chips themselves are potato, oil and salt. As with everything on this menu they are cooked in shared equipment, so check with the restaurant if that matters for your diet. The allergen table is here.
Small Thick Cut Chips at $2.00 and Large Frozen Drinks at $2.00, both from the permanent Penny Pinchers range.
