KFC celebrates Chinese New Year with all-new la zi ji chicken, fortune-cat blind box & more

KFC is kicking off the year with back-to-back launches. After rolling out new dipping sauces on January 2, KFC is already back with another festive drop, this time, for the Chinese New Year period. There is a spicy, peppery la zi ji chicken (otherwise known as firecracker chicken), alongside other menu items to look forward to and a few fun collectibles!

These limited-time menu items will be available from January 14 to February 25. If you’re a spice lover, or a die-hard mala fan, this one’s calling your name.

La zi ji chicken, lotus root chips & mango sago pie

The spicy la zi ji crunch (from S$4.80) is bold, generously topped with dried red chilli, chilli oil and numbing peppercorns. The spice lingers just enough to keep you reaching for another bite, with that addictive numbing kick that mala fans will appreciate.

If you prefer it bite-sized, the la zi ji bites (from S$4.45) deliver the same mala hit in popcorn-chicken version, which means smaller, snackable pieces.

This is one that you shouldn’t skip: Mala lotus root chips (from S$1.80). It is crisp, addictive, and made for mindless snacking that comes straight from the bag.

To round things off, there’s the new mango pomelo sago pie (from S$1.80), which oozes with creamy mango sago as you bite into it — a sweet, soothing contrast to all that spice. It’s a satisfying finish to your la zi ji meal.

For sharing, the la zi ji crunch bucket (S$20.80) comes with five pieces of  la zi ji chicken, while the la zi ji crunch Buddy meal (from S$29.80) adds onto it with la zi ji bites, two whipped potatoes, and two Sjora mango peach drinks.

Going big for family and friends? The la zi ji crunch feast (S$39.80) includes five la zi ji crunch, a set of la zi ji bites, three Original Recipe tenders, two whipped potatoes, two coleslaws, and four Sjora mango peach drinks.

The Huat feast (S$38.80) comes with eight pieces of chicken, six hot & crispy chicken bites, three Original Recipe tenders, plus sides of coleslaw and whipped potato, making it ideal for Chinese New Year gatherings with groups!

Huat Paws blind box collectibles, socks, and red packets

The Huat Paws is available from January 14 at S$8.80 with any dine-in or takeaway purchase. It’s a series of cute fortune-cat blind boxes, each with a jigsaw base so you can collect and connect the cats into a display. Every cat carries its own unique blessing, too!

The line-up? Lucky drumsticks, Fortune egg tarts, Abundance chicken bites, Abundance bucket, and a secret gold fortune cat.

Ten lucky collectors with the special golden design will stand a chance to win S$888. Snap a photo of the golden cat, post it on Instagram or Facebook, and tag KFC Singapore with #KFCHuatPaws.

There’s also the Huat socks, available from January 14 at S$5.80. You can get it with any purchase during breakfast hours — dine-in and takeaway (but not available at the kiosk), or via KFC delivery.

From January 21 to February 24, you’ll get five pieces of Huat Paws red packets for free with every purchase of the la zi ji crunch box or la zi ji chicken bites, with a limit of one per transaction.

This was a hosted tasting.
