KFC | Lime Chilli Chicken

Kentury New Fried Chicken - Lime Chilli Chicken

My colleages and I decided to dine in KFC under the sudden pour of rain during lunch. We tried the new $99 Lime Chilli bucket set for three. Since four of us were girls, the three people portion should be enough for us,

The bucket set came with six pieces of chicken, which three of them are lime chilli chicken and others were of original receipe. Changing normal flavour to lime chilli cost an extra $1.50. The bucket set also included three Mashed potatoes, two Mushroom Rices, one Chicken A La King rice, a box of Chilli Hot Spots, a basket of Crisscut Fries and three soft drinks.


1) Lime Chilli Chicken
The Lime Chilli chicken were only mildly spicy and it did really had a taste of lime with it. The lime taste was refreshing and savory. The lime taste was strong but didn't bring any sourness to the chicken. The lime spices could unfortunately be tasted on the crispy coating only, but not the meat. Yet of you took in the whole piece with the flaky chilli coating, it should taste great. The coating were deep fried to give a great crispiness and a lovely flakiness, yet it was a bit too juicy/ oily. The oil was kind of sliding down along the plastic gloves to my forearm. The chicken meat were smooth and tender. It was nicely marinated and tasted really nice.


2) Crisscut Fries
The Crisscut Fries were topped with sour cream and melted cheese. The melting cheese weren't literally melting, but were a cheese paste with a texture like mayonnaise. I always love Crisscut Fries and KFC had done a great job in this fries. The outer layer was crispy while the inside was still hot and soft. However it could get cool down pretty quickly. So, serve fast.


3) Mashed Potato
The mashed potato was something unexpected. it should be an innovative item that came with the lime chilli chicken combo. The new mashed potato was baked and thus had an additional layer of chewiness on top. The texture also changed and were made more tarty than the traditional one.

4) Hot Spots
The box of Hot Spots were literally chicken nuggets. One box came with approximately nine small pieces of chicken nuggets. The nuggets were cold, should be left for a while, so the flaky coating were soft and flat. The taste was not nice either, it was like eating a ball of stiff flour that filled with chicken.


Overall I really love KFS's new chicken flavour, the Lime Chilli Chicken. The Crisscut Fries is a must try and the new mashed potato was pretty nice too!

Dinning Date: 15 July 2010
