Chicken lovers, brace yourselves for a crunch like never before! The beloved fast-food chain KFC Australia has just announced a major menu shake-up that will permanently transform your favourite chicken meals.

Starting on Tuesday, May 14, the iconic Original burger series is getting a ‘crispy’ makeover that promises to tantalise your taste buds with an extra crunch.

The revamped burger series, which includes the Original Crispy Burger, the Original Crispy Bacon and Cheese Burger, and the Original Crispy BBQ Bacon Stacker Burger, are not just a fleeting promotion but a permanent fixture on KFC menus nationwide.

KFC's chefs craft these burgers to perfection. They take the classic chicken fillet and double-bread it before frying it to golden perfection.

The result? A chicken burger that's not just crispy but double crispy, ensuring a satisfying crunch with every single bite.

However, it's not just about the crunch. These burgers are also layered with KFC's creamy mayonnaise, adding a smooth and rich contrast to the textured chicken.

To kick off this crispy celebration, KFC is giving away the Original Crispy Burger for free this Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, at ‘The Original Crispery’ pop-up store in Sydney.

Located in Darlinghurst, this pop-up is more than just a place to grab a free burger; it's an emporium dedicated to all things crispy.

Imagine indulging in fluffy cheesecake, vibrant green chips (a.k.a. broccolini and asparagus), and even a peanut butter and jam sandwich, all given the KFC crispy treatment.

‘To mark the launch of our new series, it was only appropriate to create an emporium of all things crispy, KFC's Chief Marketing Officer, Tami Cunningham, stated.

‘“The Original Crispery” promises to be an avalanche on the senses. It will include an exhibition of crispy curiosities, as well as a selection of KFC-ified products, where our talented chefs will put our double breading craft to the test across a range of unexpected yet craveable treats for all fans to taste.’

This bold move by KFC Australia is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and its understanding of the Aussie palate.

It's a daring step that's sure to excite loyal customers and attract new ones who are eager to experience the heightened crunch factor.

As KFC Australia announces a significant change to its iconic menu items, it's clear that the fast-food chain's offerings are always evolving to meet consumer demands.

Meanwhile, Australian travellers abroad are often surprised by the unique KFC menu items found in destinations like Bali.

This unexpected twist showcases the global reach and adaptability of the brand, catering to diverse tastes across continents.

I worked at the Rotorua KFC many years ago and always amused me the, Eleven (11) Secret Herbs and Spices were made by Nestles.

Double breaded. Does that mean less chicken? Can’t remember the last time I ate KFC “food”.
