Worlds are colliding over in Singapore with the debut of KFCs new Kentaco creation.
Similar to Taco Bell's Naked Chicken Chalupa, KFC Singapore's new Kentaco is a cross between fried chicken and a taco. The dish specifically consists of a chicken filet that's been marinated and breaded with the Colonel's special seasoning before it's formed into the shape of a taco shell and deep-fried. The fried chicken shell is then filled with creamy cheese sauce, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
KFC customers from the Philippines may remember that KFC debuted a similar fried chicken taco last year called the 'Chaco.' The Singaporean version appears to be strikingly similar, but with a different name.
