You could get paid £1000 to eat chicken nuggets and we can think of worse gigs

You could get paid £1000 to eat chicken nuggets and its as great as it sounds.

Birds Eye is advertising for a ‘chief dipping officer’ - a competition not a real job role - in which the winner will win a grand and a year’s supply of nugs in return for writing a 250 cover letter explaining why they are a good fit for the role.

The job advert says the successful applicant will head the new “dedicated dipping department” and reports to “the Chicken Witch of the West.”

It reads: “Birds Eye is on the hunt for a Chief Dipping Officer (CDO).

“Do you know the difference between dippers and nuggets? Are you the sauce connoisseur of the family? Do you have an insatiable passion for Chicken Dippers?

“The position of Chief Dipping Officer requires an individual with an outstanding passion for Chicken Dippers and skills to identify the perfect dip that will suit the whole family.”

The advert says the winner will be appointed an honorary brand ambassador for Birds Eye Chicken Dippers’ and will advise other fans on the best dipper techniques and trends.

It continues: “You will be expected to treasure texture and be fanatical about flavour, assisting The Chicken Witch of the West in bringing magic to mealtimes. The right candidate will be committed to doing an im-peck-able job.”

Doesn’t sound too bad to us.
