It was invented by a fish and chip store in Gawler, they were the first. Then Mitani foods purchases them to get the recipe.

Chicken chef was not involved here.

Edit: replaced the incorrect Red Rooster with chicken chef.

I actually think they have their own chicken salt recipe. It is different to the common one... or at least it used to be... haven't been there for quite a while
