Ever since KFC introduced the famous Double Down, the restaurant has been looking for new and creative ways to make use of their beloved fried chicken, and the KFC Chizza is the product of that search. The new menu item, which is available at restaurants in Singapore, is a slice of KFC fried chicken covered in pizza ingredients and baked.
Though such a food mashup might seem like a wild and complex dish, the KFC Chizza is relatively simple. It starts with a marinated slice of chicken breast coated and fried in KFC's signature flour. That base is then covered in marinara sauce, two slices of ham, pineapples, and mozzarella and cheese sauce. Next it gets popped into the oven to melt the cheese and cook the ham and pineapples, and that's all it takes.
