ASTONS 21-Cent Chargrilled Chicken on 15 May 2026: How the 21st Anniversary Deal Worked
ASTONS Specialities sold its chargrilled chicken with two sides for 21 cents on Thursday 15 May 2026, one day only, to mark 21 years of the chain. Dine-in only, walk-ins only, one order per customer, at every ASTONS Specialities outlet, with the restaurants closed from 3pm to 5pm to reset between the lunch and dinner crowds. It is over. This post pulled 15,600 likes, our biggest deal post of the year, and the comments underneath tell you exactly what a 21-cent day looks like.
It ran until 15 May 2026. We keep the page up because people still search for it and the details are worth having, but do not make the trip on the strength of this article. For what is actually on right now, see things to do this weekend.
The deal, and the fine print
Chargrilled chicken plus two sides from French fries, onion rings, coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad, garden veggies or corn niblets, for $0.21. The poster's own terms: valid for dine-in on 15 May 2026 only, closed 3pm to 5pm, not stackable with other promotions or vouchers, maximum one order per customer, walk-ins only, while stocks last.
The ten ASTONS Specialities outlets at the time were Wilkie Edge, Punggol Coast Mall, Bugis+, Suntec City, The Kallang at Kallang Wave Mall, SingPost Centre, The Central, Thomson Plaza, VivoCity and Westgate, per ASTONS' own site. It is a one-day chain-wide deal, so expect the queue to be a queue: the sensible move on days like this is the 5pm reopening, not the 11am open.
What the comments said
"Bro, is this even profitable" was the top reaction and the answer is obviously no, it is a birthday. The two that matter more: one person's sister said her chicken came undercooked, and another said the food at Punggol Coast Mall was below standard on the day. That is the trade on a 21-cent day: a kitchen doing ten times its normal covers is not a kitchen at its best. If you want ASTONS chargrilled chicken as it is meant to be, pay the normal price on a normal Tuesday. For a cheap ASTONS day without the crush, the student meal roundup has the everyday options.
Good to know
· ASTONS does a birthday deal in May. Follow the account and watch for the 2027 poster.
· On one-day deals, the reopening after the mid-afternoon break is the calmer sitting.
· Check the chicken before you leave the counter on a day like this. Send it back if it is pink.
