# Oven-Roasted Burger Patties KFC Korea's New Roasting Beef Burger Features an Oven-Roasted Patty By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-01-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasting-beef-burger References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2019/01/kfc-oven-roasted-hamburger-patties-in-south-korea.html) & [kfckorea](https://www.kfckorea.com/delivery/detail/2272948) Though KFC is known for its fried chicken, the chain's Korean outposts are making waves for a beefy new offering called the 'Roasting Beef Burger.' While a beef burger is nothing new, this particular beef patty is cooked in a unique way. The Roasting Beef Burger is a brand new offering from KFC Korea that features a beef patty that has been roasted in the oven. The cooking technique is designed to cook the patty more evenly and leave it extra juicy. The patty is then paired with lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, pickles, mayo, and ketchup. While the Roasting Beef Burger is not available stateside, KFC could presumably use the same ovens used to chicken to recreate the juicy new burgers.
