Japan's Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is set to excite burger lovers with the launch of its new "American Burgers" series on April 2, 2025, available at KFC locations nationwide. This limited-time offering is designed to bring the flavors of America to fans, featuring three distinctive burgers aimed at satisfying different taste preferences.
The first highlighted item is the Garlic Sauce Onion Filet Burger, priced attractively at 580 yen for a single burger, 990 yen for a meal set, and 1,290 yen for a value set that includes additional popular items. This burger combines KFC's tender, juicy boneless chicken filet with crispy onion rings and a rich garlic sauce, promising a delightful crunch in every bite.
Another compelling addition to the lineup is the Honey BBQ Sauce Egg Filet Burger. This burger retails for 540 yen as a single item and goes up to 1,250 yen for the value set, which includes more accompaniments. It features a chicken filet topped with an omelet-style fried egg and a sweet-savory honey BBQ sauce, artfully blended with KFC’s secret blend of 11 herbs and spices. The creamy yolk of the omelet adds a new level of indulgence, making each bite a cohesive explosion of flavor.
The standout creation, known as the Garlic Sauce Onion Filet Burger 'Extreme Meat', takes the concept a step further. This burger, a must-try for protein enthusiasts, sells for 740 yen solo, 1,150 yen in a set, and 1,450 yen for the value set. Instead of traditional bread, this burger uses two pieces of boneless chicken as the bun, sandwiching crispy onion rings in the middle, creating an eye-catching appearance and impressive heft. Its robust visual appeal has made it a social media sensation year after year.
Completing the meal offerings is the Flifli Potato, priced at 320 yen. This side dish of crispy potatoes can be enhanced with an optional Flifli Spice for an additional 30 yen, which adds a hint of sour cream and onion flavor, complementing the burgers perfectly.
With excitement growing as the launch date approaches, KFC is emphasizing the unique, satisfying nature of its new products. Each burger is crafted to reflect the hearty and indulgent style of American cuisine, aiming to stir appetite with bold tastes and hearty portions. "With this collection, we aim to capture the essence of American burger culture while ensuring our customers experience the unique KFC flavor they love," said a KFC representative regarding this launch.
Kenta Okada, KFC's product development leader, shared insights into the creation process of these delightful burgers. “The Garlic Sauce Onion Filet Burger back for a second year has been improved based on customer feedback to enhance the garlic flavor,” he noted. This attention to detail ensures that the burgers not only meet but exceed customer expectations, making them a must-try when they hit the menu.
Customer reception is anticipated to be enthusiastic, given the social media buzz surrounding last year’s offerings. The signature Extreme Meat burger, in particular, gained considerable attention online for its unusual presentation and hearty filling. KFC's marketing strategy leverages this anticipation to elevate interest and excitement leading up to the launch.
The burgers will be available at KFC restaurants nationwide, but customers are reminded that the offering is limited in quantity and that items will continue to be sold until supplies run out. Interested customers may aim to visit their nearest KFC location promptly to experience these flavors before they disappear from the menu.
As KFC continues to innovate and respond to consumer interests, products such as "The American Burgers" exemplify the combination of traditional favorite flavors and modern culinary techniques that appeal to a wide audience. This initiative reinforces KFC's commitment to providing exciting, quality meals and reinforces its position in the competitive fast-food market.
Fans and food enthusiasts alike are encouraged to check out the new offerings starting April 2, with hopes that these fresh flavors will infuse delight into their fast-food experiences this spring.
KFC's "American Burgers" launching on April 2 is an invitation for everyone to savor an experience that tantalizes the taste buds while enjoying the iconic flavors associated with the brand.
