Food Brands Now (FBN), the UK’s first dedicated food and drink brand licensing agency, announced a landmark new partnership with Carlsberg Britvic’s iconic Tango brand.

Through this exclusive partnership, Food Brands Now will launch two new products, boneless chicken bites glazed with the choice of either Tango Orange or Tango Apple.

Inspired by the unmistakable taste of Tango Orange and Tango Apple, the disruptive new product combines succulent boneless chicken bites with a crispy golden coating and a vibrant, zingy orange or sticky apple glaze, creating what Tango is proudly calling “the tangiest of chicken bites.”

Created for sharing occasions, family nights in, match days and social gatherings, the product taps into growing consumer demand for bold, flavour-led food experiences that bring excitement and fun to the frozen aisle.
The new Tango Boneless Chicken Bites range will launch across the Iceland and The Food Warehouse nationwide estate on the 1st of September 2026 with each product priced at £3.75 (3 for £10).

This collaboration represents a significant extension of the Tango brand into frozen food and demonstrates the growing consumer appetite for exciting crossover products that bring trusted brands into new categories.
The partnership further strengthens Food Brands Now’s position as a leader in food and drink licensing, working with some of the UK’s most loved brands to unlock growth through innovative product development and category expansion.

With its bold flavour profile, vibrant branding and unmistakable Tango attitude, the launch promises to deliver the tangiest of chicken bites and a truly differentiated proposition for retailers and shoppers alike.

David Laidler, brand director of Carbonates at Carlsberg Britvic, commented:
“Tango is the perfect wingman to chicken. Bold fruit flavour, unmistakable Tang and a taste experience so intense, “you know when you’ve been Tango’d” . This partnership takes Tango into a new space, bringing flavour intensity from the drinks aisle to mealtimes.”

Oliver Gilding, sales & licensing director at Food Brands Now, commented:
“Tango has always stood for bold, unapologetic flavour, so we wanted to create a product that delivers that same experience in food. These really are the tangiest of chicken bites packed with the unmistakable punch of Tango Apple and Tango Orange in every mouthful. It’s a fun, disruptive innovation that brings something genuinely different to the category.”
