Burgers became a satisfying, instant meal due to the fast delivery of eat-at-home orders and the ever-consuming smart-eating millennials. Additionally, the high demand for chicken products such as chicken wings, nuggets, meatballs, popcorn, and burgers, which cost an average of USD 7 for 300 grams of chicken and USD 1.75 for 250 grams of vegetarian burgers, has boosted sales in the nation over the past three to four years.
