KFC’s Seasonal Offering: Japanese Chicken Nanban
Separately, KFC also unveils its latest seasonal offering, the KFC Japanese Nanban Zinger. This is a delightfully Japanese spin on fried chicken, featuring a crispy and spicy chicken thigh fillet brushed with Nanban sauce – a sweet and tangy soy glaze – the perfect balance of savoury and addictive vinegary notes. Adding to this is a bed of fresh, finely shredded cabbage, and finished with a generous layer of rich, chunky Japanese-style tartar sauce made with onions, chopped eggs and creamy mayo. Held together in a pillowy, toasted brioche bun, every single bite delivers a wonderful contrast of crunchy, juicy, sweet, and tart textures with that kick of heat and indulgence.
Also new is the KFC Japanese Nanban Chicken Bites. The bite-sized fried chicken thigh morsels are brushed in the same appetising Nanban sauce, which seeps so perfectly into the crunchy crust. The juicy bites are then smothered in the rich, chunky Japanese-style egg tartar sauce where every forkful gives a crunchy, juicy, sweet, and tart experience. Every single bite delivers the same bold Japanese-inspired flavours in a perfectly snackable format. You’ll be back for more!
Adding to the feast are KFC Japanese Nanban Loaded Fries, topped with that delicious Nanban glaze and chunky tartar sauce, as well as a colourful duo of purple and golden shells, hiding a deliciously chewy centre beneath, the Sweet Potato Balls that you’ll love mochi-much!
