It’s a cozy evening. Your favorite KURA — perfectly marinated, golden and crispy — is on the table. Everyone’s grabbing a juicy bite, dipping it into our signature sauces, and going back for more. And then it hits you — that moment when you want something light, refreshing, maybe even crunchy to reset your taste buds. A little something to complete the meal.
That’s exactly why, at The KURA, we treat snacks like more than just sides. Each one is crafted not just to “go with” the chicken, but to take the whole flavor experience to the next level. They bring contrast. They bring balance. And they bring a whole new layer of taste to your plate.
Fresh veggies, crisp greens, bold dressings, and playful textures — our snacks are designed to cut through the richness and keep your taste buds dancing. In this article, we’ll walk you through the best snacks and salads to pair with your favorite KURA, how to build your perfect flavor combo, and share a few tips that’ll turn your next chicken night in Warsaw into something truly unforgettable.
Bold bites with a fiery Kick
Live for the thrill? Fast rides, skydiving, wild nights? Then these snacks are made for you. A burst of heat and a lingering spicy aftertaste pair perfectly with tender, juicy chicken — waking up your taste buds and adding a bold twist to every bite. At The KURA, we’ve got you covered with three ultra-spicy, flavor-packed sides created to turn up the heat and make your meal unforgettable:
- Kimchi — a bold, spicy classic made with fermented cabbage and chili. Its crunchy texture and fiery kick bring the perfect contrast to tender grilled chicken.
- Korean pickled carrots (Marchewka po koreańsku) — sweet and spicy ribbons of carrot with a touch of vinegar and warmth. A great way to cut through rich marinades and highlight the flavor of the meat. Try it once — and you’re hooked.
- Cucumbers in Chinese (Mashed cucumbers (Chinese style) — cool, crisp cucumbers tossed in a garlicky, tangy chili sauce. Light, refreshing, and just spicy enough to follow the richness of juicy chicken with a clean, zesty bite.
Freshness and simple pleasure
These snacks are the perfect follow-up to fried or spicy dishes. They cleanse the palate, bring a light, refreshing contrast, and leave you feeling just right — not too heavy, not too full. A little reset for your taste buds between bites:
- Fresh romaine leaves (Fresh romaine lettuce leaves) — Crisp, clean, and refreshingly simple. Whether you’re going for a half or the whole KURA chicken, this one’s a perfect match.
- Pickled cucumbers (Ogórki pikle) — salty, tangy, and just the right crunch. A fresh contrast after golden-brown chicken, giving your taste buds a light, zesty reset.
Savory with a fermented kick
These snacks aren’t spicy or sharp — they’re full-bodied and pair well with garlic or rosemary marinades. A perfect match for bold chicken dishes:
- Mushrooms with garlic (Pieczarki marynowane z czosnkiem) — go perfectly with bold marinades like garlic or rosemary. Try them with wings or KURA popcorn — they bring out the flavor without overpowering it.
- Sauerkraut (Pelustka kiszona) — light and tangy, it refreshes the palate and supports digestion after a hearty meal.
Creamy and smooth.
These snacks add softness, balance out bold spices, and bring a tender, mellow touch to every bite:
- Corn in cheese sauce (Kukurydza w sosie serowym) — comfort food at its finest. Creamy, cozy, and perfect for balancing out the bold, spicy flavors of an Asian-marinated KURA-chicken.
- Cabbage salad (Salad Coleslaw) — crunchy, creamy, with a subtle sweet touch. A familiar favorite that adds a refreshing contrast to juicy, rich chicken — especially with honey-mustard or Asian marinades.
Naturally sweet & simple
For those who love clean, honest flavors. These snacks let the freshness of the ingredients shine, bringing out the tenderness of the chicken — or standing strong all on their own:
- Beets with feta (Buraki i feta) — the sweet beetroot and the delicate saltiness of the cheese create a deep balance of explosive, mild taste.
- Carrot mini (Mini carrots) — natural texture, light sweetness, goes well with all types of marinade or tastes perfect on its own.
