Kentucky Chicken Rice Sandwich

The Kentucky Chicken Rice Sandwich went on sale at KFC in Japan on February 7th. The bun less sandwich features ketchup rice, cheddar cheese special tomato sauce, and special mayonnaise sandwiched between two pieces of the Colonel’s Original Recipe chicken fillets.

Kind of reminds me of the KFC Double Down, which made its debut in Australia last year. The Kentucky Chicken Rice Sandwich is on sale for 450 yen (USD$4.80).

This is what the sandwich looks like:

Looks a bit of a mess but is pretty tasty

At first sight it looks like a pile of mess and doesn't look too appetizing. It is also quite expensive at 450 yen. How does it taste? It tastes pretty good and I liked the flavour combinations, but it is very high in carbs. I don’t know how you are meant to eat it as a sandwich as it’s quite messy. I ended up eating it all separately with my hands.

The Kentucky Chicken Rice Sandwich is only available in Japan until February 27th.

I’m interested to hear from you guys what you think of it. Have you tried it or would you be willing to give it a try?

  1. Ketchup rice, mayonnaise and cheese? (@_@) I haven't had it, but I'd be willing to give it a go ... but only if I can't have MosBurger instead!

    PS: I found myself missing soy sauce while I was in South Africa. Oh, man, Japan has corrupted me!
