KFC, surprisingly, is offering a rice-based meal!

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) will release the 'Kenta Rice BOX' at 62 limited stores starting November 4, available in limited quantities.

Wait, rice? That's right, KFC is introducing a product akin to a rice bowl!

Unbelievable! KFC's Rice Dish, the 'Kenta Rice BOX'

The 'Kenta Rice BOX' is a dish featuring seasoned rice cooked with chicken broth, topped with cut 'Boneless Original Chicken' and cabbage, all brought together with a soy-sauce-flavored teriyaki sauce.

▲ 'Kenta Rice BOX' from 690 yen. The seasoned rice uses domestic Japanese rice. It's said that chicken broth and chicken meat are cooked together to bring out the rich chicken umami.

The accompanying 'Boneless Original Chicken' uses juicy whole chicken thigh meat. It's cut into easy-to-eat pieces, designed to be enjoyed with rice using chopsticks.

According to the development team, they repeatedly adjusted the recipe to achieve the most delicious balance when the chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce are eaten together.

In addition to the standalone item, sets with drinks are also available.

・Kenta Rice BOX: from 690 yen ・Kenta Rice BOX Combo (with M-size drink): from 930 yen ・Kenta Rice BOX Lunch Combo (with M-size drink): from 880 yen The product will be sold at a total of 62 stores: 24 in Tokyo, 10 in Kanagawa, 11 in Saitama, 4 in Chiba, 6 in Osaka, and 7 in Hyogo.

Limited to 62 Stores Nationwide! KFC to Enjoy with Rice

When you think of KFC, biting into chicken is the classic way, but this time, it's a style meant to be eaten with rice. What's more, it's not just plain white rice, but seasoned rice cooked with chicken broth, which is quite interesting.

Nabe-chan once made 'Kenta Seasoned Rice' by throwing KFC's Original Chicken into a rice cooker, and it turned out surprisingly delicious...! Based on that experience, I have a feeling that the combination of KFC and rice might actually be quite good.

Since sales are limited to 62 locations, those interested should check the participating stores. Details of the stores can be found here (PDF).
