KFC Japan is set to tantalize taste buds this winter with the return of its popular 'Red Hot Chicken,' launching on December 29, 2023. Celebrated for its bold flavors, this limited edition dish is sure to excite fans of spicy food once again.
This year's release marks the 20th anniversary of 'Red Hot Chicken,' which first hit the menu back in 2004. To commemorate this milestone, KFC Japan is bringing back this fan-favorite, prized for its fiery heat and mouthwatering taste. The unique flavor of 'Red Hot Chicken' is achieved through a blend of spices like red pepper, white pepper, and habanero, resulting in nothing less than a flavor explosion.
'The unique flavor of Red Hot Chicken combines deep spiciness with the savory delight of chicken,' shared a spokesperson from KFC Japan. This quote perfectly encapsulates what makes this dish so special and why it has remained popular for two decades.
This winter, customers will have the opportunity to customize their spice levels. KFC is offering additional hot sauce, available for just 30 yen, to take the already spicy chicken to newfound heat levels. Diners can choose from '1 spicy' to '5 spicy' according to their personal preference, allowing everyone from mild to extreme spicy lovers to enjoy the dish.
