It is considered that individuals should know the concept of halal and be aware of the conditions that make a product halal in order for consumers to have the intention to purchase halal products. The aim of this study is to find out the attitudes and purchase intentions of consumers towards halal chicken products under the model of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP). It also aimed to determine consumers’ halal awareness of halal chicken products and the effect of perceived psychological risk on purchase intention. The data required for the study were collected from the individuals who purchased chicken using convenience sampling method through an online questionnaire form. The data collection process was completed with the participation of 410 people assumed to represent the universe.
