Customers often ask about chicken tamales how to eat—they’re enjoyed easily on their own, topped with salsa, or paired with your favorite sides. Their mild, savory profile makes them a versatile favorite for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
What Is a Tamale Made Of?
A traditional tamale is made from two main components: masa (a soft dough made from corn) and a flavorful filling. For chicken tamales, seasoned shredded chicken is wrapped in smooth masa, placed in a corn husk, and steamed until tender. The result is a warm, comforting dish with a balanced, homemade texture.
What Sauce for Chicken Tamales?
Chicken tamales pair wonderfully with a variety of sauces. Many enjoy them with classic red or green salsa, queso, or a mild tomatillo sauce. Delia’s customers often choose our red or green salsa (available in-store) to add heat and brightness. The chicken tamale’s mild flavor makes it easy to match with almost any topping.
Are Chicken Tamales Healthy to Eat?
Chicken tamales can be a balanced option when enjoyed in moderation. They offer protein from the chicken and sustained energy from the corn masa. When paired with lighter sides—such as a salad, steamed vegetables, or beans—they can be part of a satisfying and wholesome meal.
