The Reserve Bank can keep its suspense.
While the rest of the country waits to hear whether interest rates will finally budge, Red Rooster has swooped in with the only rate cut anyone actually wants — 20 per cent off chicken.
Yes, on Tuesday 12 August, Australia’s original chicken shop is throwing its own “Rate Cut Day” and slashing the price of every Click & Collect order by a glorious fifth.

No press conferences, no economic jargon, just the promise of golden, juicy, crispy happiness at a fraction of the price.
“We know everyday Aussies are doing it tough,” says Red Rooster CEO Samantha Bragg.
“While the RBA crunches numbers, we wanted to serve up something immediate. A hot rate cut — Red Rooster style.”
Translation: They’ve seen the headlines about inflation and decided the most effective form of relief is a family-sized box of fried chicken and some potato and gravy.

And here’s the best part, claiming this tasty discount is so easy you could do it while debating whether you can afford your rent increase:
- Download the Red Rooster App or head to www.redrooster.com.au
- Choose Click & Collect from the Pick Up menu
- Enter the code CUT20 at checkout
- Collect from your local Reds
- Eat your feelings (and your chicken) with 20 per cent more joy
There’s a small catch: it’s Click & Collect only, so you’ll have to leave the couch for this deal.
But given you’re saving cash and getting out of the house, you can almost count it as an economic stimulus exercise.

The offer is valid at Red Rooster restaurants nationwide (excluding stadiums and airports), for one glorious day.
Red Rooster has been feeding Aussies for over 50 years, and right now they’re in the middle of a glow-up with revamped stores, snazzy uniforms and new menu items.
Yet their knack for swooping in with a timely deal is as strong as ever.

So on Tuesday, 12 August, forget the finance reports.
The only numbers you need are 20 per cent off, one-day-only, and one code: CUT20.
Whether the RBA hikes, holds or cuts, your juicy chicken budget is safe, and possibly even thriving.
