Launched in 2021 in the United Kingdom, Sides serves Nashville fried chicken in the form of tenders, wings, burgers or wraps, where customers can choose their preferred spice level from “Classic (no heat)” to “Insane (if you dare)”.
The fried chicken chain is also known for offering nine different types of sauces, including a Nashville Cheese sauce, Chocolate Barbecue and a Secret Sauce.
Apart from Sides, the group also started their merchandise line, Sidemen Clothing, in 2014; an alcoholic beverage line, XIX Vodka, in 2022; and a cereal brand, Best Cereal, in 2024.
