St Patrick's Day: Viral Irish chicken fillet roll taking TikTok by storm that's perfect for hangover cure as thousands celebrate holiday

A much-loved Irish chicken sandwich has taken social media by storm - and it might just be the perfect cure for your St Patrick's Day hangover.

The Irish chicken fillet roll is a long established tradition on the island of Ireland, though debate is fierce about the best place to buy the delicacy - and how to get it made up.

It consists of three main components: chicken, condiments and a choice of bread.

Exactly how the sandwich is ordered is up to your individual tastes, but from Dublin to London, the snack is a fast-growing favourite - just in time for your St Patrick's Day hangover.

The festivities will kick off on Sunday, with lively parades and festivals set to take place across the island of Ireland, and streets set to be doused in emerald green.

Of course, no St Patrick's Day celebration would be complete without pints, pubs and hearty grub, with establishments across the country offering bottomless Guinness.

Those looking to soak up the alcohol might find the cure on TikTok, where the Irish fillet roll has gone somewhat viral - with the sandwich now available to buy in delis across the UK.

One TikTok user, who shares travel tips with her 58,000 followers, has sought to simplify the process for those just coming across the roll, detailing the perfect order for your first fillet roll.

Aine, who goes by Travel with Aine, said the ideal order for newcomers must include a soft white roll, coleslaw instead of mayonnaise and a spicy chicken fillet.

She also said to request the sandwich is cut in half.

'I come home once a year and my tell tale sign of inflation are the prices of chicken fillet rolls,' Aine said on TikTok.

A fierce debate was sparked in the comments over the best way to make the sandwich

But those in the comments didn't all agree with her rendition of the snack.

One person said: 'The only thing right with this order is the spicy chicken.'

Another added: 'Chicken fillet wrap, taco sauce, cheese and red onion. Not cut!'

A viewer even suggested Aine's suggestion must be a 'joke'.

'Wrong, Mayo cheese spicy chicken elite, feeling cheeky? Lettuce, feeling extra cheeky get it toasted without lettuce,' another woman said.

Joining the sandwich debate, one man said his perfect order is 'butter and mayo, white roll, cheese, red onion, lettuce cut in half then any crisps you prefer and a Diet Coke or Lucozade Original.'
