The 'Popcorn Chicken Pizza' from Pizza Hut and KFC is new menu addition that's exclusive to consumers in Hong Kong for a limited time.
Combining Pizza Hut's cheesy toppings and crispy crust with KFC's crunchy popcorn chicken, the pizza is perfect for fried chicken fans in search of something new. Apart from plenty of gooey cheese and KFC's fried chicken, the pizza is topped with mushrooms and sweetcorn. If consumers choose, the pizza can also be topped with gravy.
To provide an interactive element to the launch, Pizza Hut and KFC launched a two-player game that challenges players to make their own Popcorn Chicken Pizza while they race against the clock. If they succeed, players win Pizza Hut and KFC coupons.
