The KFC Popcorn Crispy Chicken is a new offering from KFC Hong Kong that is sure to draw the attention of foodies who are looking for a sweet, savory and indulgent variation on the brand's iconic snack.
The chicken features pieces that have been covered in a batter before being breaded with real pieces of popcorn and deep fried to create a crispy, crunchy profile. The chicken comes with a caramel-flavored sauce that can be drizzled overtop of the entire serving or individually to provide a pop of sweetness in contrast to the fried poultry.
The KFC Popcorn Crispy Chicken is available for a limited-time only alongside the Caramel Popcorn Sundae that consists of vanilla soft serve topped with caramel popcorn and caramel sauce.
