Seems like 'Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner' was taken seriously by people in 2021. Well, it's not us but Swiggy's 2021 food survey that claims it.

Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Lucknow were the cities where chicken biryani was ordered the most.

For ordering Chicken biryani, 4.25 lakh new users debuted Swiggy. Also, the report stated that samosas became the most binged snack of the year with about 5 million orders. Samosas were ordered 6 times more than chicken wings while pav bhaji was the country's second favourite snack with 2.1 million orders.
