A spice bag (or spicebag, spicy bag, spice box or spicy box; Irish: mála spíosrach)[3] is a fast food dish, popular in most of Ireland and inspired by Chinese cuisine.

[6] Typically, a spice bag consists of deep-fried salt and chilli chips, salt and chilli chicken (usually shredded, occasionally balls/wings),[7] red and green peppers, sliced chili peppers, fried onions and a variety of spices.

[8] A vegetarian or vegan option is often available, in which deep fried tofu takes the place of the shredded chicken.

[7] According to research by RTÉ Radio reporter Liam Geraghty, the dish was created in around 2006 as an off-the-menu, after-hours meal by staff at the Sunflower Chinese takeaway restaurant in the Orwell Shopping Centre in Templeogue, Dublin.

When friends of the staff repeatedly asked for the meal, the dish was added to the Sunflower's menu.
