@@hazridge It's our culture to call it a burger, so it's pretty strange seeing an Aussie call it a sandwich. Sandwich is a generic term, so you can call it that. Doesn't mean we like it.
my simple solution to eliminate all confusion from the english speaking world about this sort of thing is do the opposite. use 'fries' or 'french fries' and 'crisps' respectively.
Good luck finding an aussie willing to lengthen words for the sake of clarity, we shorten everything, why use 3 different words when we can have 1 all encompassing word, its up to you to infer the context
KFC Australia currently has 24 nuggets for $10.95 and if you build your own bucket in the app, there is an option for 18 nuggets. Hot n Crispy are not tenders, they are thigh pieces. Sliders are considered to be a snack, not a side. Also, where are the go-buckets?
Actually Australia OFTEN comes up with unique food ideas that have nothing to do with anywhere else, and when Americans visit Australia and try them they are PLEASANTLY shocked. Frozen coke is one example, apparently America don't have frozen coke in their Macca's lol
@@metalgear292 I do call them burgers, but you're wrong to say they aren't sandwiches. Burger is the specific term. You don't call subway a burger, you call it a sub. But you can call both a sandwich, because sandwich is a very general term which can be used to describe 2 pieces of bread with ingredients in the middle. What is a burger? 2 pieces of bread with ingredients in the middle. But, we use the term burger because they have a burger bun, rather than 2 slices of bread, so when you ask for a burger, you know what you're getting. And I'm going to be very controversial here. A hotdog is a sandwich.
Wtf is up with potato and gravy 1. U dip ur potato chips in gravy we don't need more ...fake potato to go with it . 2. The gravy taste has changed for the worse
I’m so surprised they make this show without doing like proper research or something. As someone who worked at KFC for 5 years in Australia I could in depth describe the difference between the chicken options, breading and cooking methods.
Same here, I worked as a cook for 2 years here in aus and this video was missing a lot of info haha. They should get cooks from each country in the next one!
without even have worked their i could have done a way better job of representing aus Kfc, She said chips on the zinger crunch burger, so he literally thought she was talking about fries/chips, not tortilla chips *facepalms*
Honestly they did Australia dirty by not showing and explaining the importance of the zinger box.... and how they have broken the hearts of many hungover legends out there by changing the 3 wicked wings to stupid boneless pieces 😤
You can still get the 3 wicked wings, you just need to ask them for a Zinger Box with wicked wings (or you could ask for a single original piece, I often like to get a breast or rib piece in mine). Mind you it was utterly dumb how they changed the default option to the boneless pieces and you have to explicitly asked for wings. This caught me and my brother out one night where we only got two wicked wings instead of three, I noticed in the drive thru but he distracted me about the drinks and drove off before I could tell him about the missing wings. We decided to keep going instead of turning back, he rang the KFC about 15 minutes later to complain and they said we ordered boneless pieces because we didn't specify wings. We complained that was stupid and asked why we got wings instead of boneless, they argued we got boneless so we said we can send you a picture of the bones, that quickly shut her up and she said we could go back to get it fixed up but at that point we were long gone so she sent us a code for some free wings at a later date.
@@Dr_KAP It's just dumb you have to ask for the wicked wings, it should have stayed as the default option when you don't ask for anything specific instead of the stupid boneless pieces. Also agree with switching the potato and gravy for chips, it's indeed a great idea. I usually get the regular size Zinger box and will always swap mine for more chips explicitly telling them to make it a single large chips instead of two small since you get more that way for the same price, if you don't tell them some may try giving you two small and a few still might even if you do tell them at which point you should double check your food before leaving (or ideally watch them prepare it) and ask to fix it up.
@@Sevicify yeh I totally agree the wicked wings should have stayed for sure!! The zinger box is too much for me I get the zinger combo meal but occasionally I pinch a wicked wing from my son’s box 😂

Popcorn chicken also regularly released in Australia for a $10 bucket which is maybe 3 times the maxi is size is my guess. Crunchy burgers aren't French fries they are corn chips. Our hot chips also come with chicken salt which makes the the best chips from any other franchise.
@@thegoodberrygaming9578 I only brought it up because the American bloke was upset they didn't have any popcorn chicken. So I was being fececious by mentioning we sometimes get a whole bucket
The bucket is 2 Maxi's worth. Was told by staff when i went in asking for the bucket (Apparently they had stopped that promotion a day before). Staff told me it was two maxi's worth of popcorn and yeah so i got 2 maxi's instead and yeah, checks out lol
KFC in Australia used to have corn on the cob, many many moons ago. I miss that so much! Also, my guess regarding the seaweed extract is that it adds umami to the fried chicken (though I wonder if the 'flavour enhancer' in the list of ingredients could be MSG, which serves the same purpose).
Back in the 90s Australian KFC did do thick shakes but they dropped them by the 00s, also the desert options used to be small cheesecake (essentially cheesecake flavoured mousse on a bed of sweet biscuit crumb) or chocolate mousse before all the crusher business came along and she may be calling it a chicken sandwich for the benefit of American audiences but we just say chicken burger here, especially on the KFC menu. Sandwiches are for sliced bread yanks not buns. Buns make it a burger.
Chicken sandwich? We call them chicken burgers in Australia 🎉Anything in a burger bun in Australia becomes a burger unless it’s between two pieces of toast then it’s a toastie or jaffle or sandwich..and I’m glad she dropped chicken burger in her review of the Zinger
"I would have liked to try the supercharged sauce" but completely ignores the supercharged slider and the zinger stacker burger that had the sauce in it. Then the Mountain Dew freeze tasking like Solo? Fix your tastebuds, it has ZERO lemony flavour. Absolute sacrilege.
Here in Canada our KFC menu is quite stripped down compared to these two, but we do have two items that are standouts: 1) The "Famous Chicken Burger" - which is ginormous and meant to compete with Popeye's. It's super juicy. Website describes it as: "Triple breaded, buttermilk marinated chicken fillet, drizzled with buttery garlic oil, 3 sweet pickles, double mayo on a potato bun" 2) Poutine. Website describes it as: "KFC's take on a Canadian Classic. Crisp fries, cheese curds and gravy"
Theres more than this on the app, including the secret menu. Theres also the tower stacker burgers you can get, no bun just chicken chicken chicken. Years ago KFC here used to sell corn, roast potatos and other stuff too.
I had an opportunity to try one of the famous bowls recently. It was so salty....I almost couldn't eat it. I have had frozen versions from the supermarket....and they are delicious!
I'm curious of the Famous Bowl, but I don't think its very impressive. It looks like they had a surplus of mashed potato, so added some leftover fried chicken and corn, along with cheese to make it look like an original and exciting idea.
@@lucinae8512 Banquet has a frozen version that has the same ingredients and is considerably cheaper. I have made my own before, but it's hard to scale it down to one serving.
See you sitting there sinking your teeth into a crunchy zinger and sipping on your 1.25 bottle Pepsi Max and perving on the hot Korean womb sitting beer by 😁
I’m personally not a KFC person but my dad loves it, particularly the mash and gravy. We used to have to get him some every time we went to a bigger town
Rebranding exists durrr. The historical name was Kentucky Fried Chicken and still appears on containers and wrappers as a salute to the originator of the restaurant. They rebranded as KFC during the millennium flip after Yum! Brands acquired them in the 90s.
They went back to Kentucky Fried Chicken with the older looking font in recent years, but here in Aus we usually just say KFC, K-fers, Dirty Bird, stuff like that.
KFC in Australia was at its best for taste in the late 90's early 2000's, before they changed the oil it's cooked in and they also had Tender Roast chicken. Now they have a lot more options, although the taste isn't the same.
Everytime I watch these I’m so shocked at how many things are only exclusives to certain countries.. it’s so fascinating! Obviously different parts of the world have different preferences, but being a massive chain you’d think the menus would be much more similar to save money overall
Considering things Americans eat that are not allowed to be put in food for most of the rest of the world it's not surprising, menus have to be streamlined for the kitchen process to conform to each countries regulations
I am not Australian but in the UK we have Supercharger Sauce which is just a spicy mayo which is what I assume the Supercharged Sauce was we also have Twister wraps that contain the sauce too EDIT we also have Krushem's here in the UKthat they still sell but I think ours are actually ice creams though I am not sure since I don't order them and we have the Zinger burger but Zinger chicken is only available in burger form in a fillet patty and not for chicken on the bone
Krishems suck here in the UK. I tried it twice now. It's crushed ice with some milky Oreo liquid over it. It's disgusting. Like watery McFlurry with crunchy ice. It's useless.
Supercharged Zingers are limited time thing in Aus, kind of. I say kind of because they always have Supercharged sauce on hand so you can ask for it to be added to anything at any time of the year.
@@thebusboy1 Yeah although I do not think the sauce is by default available on our Zinger burgers it can be added to any burger or wrap as an option and they even have it available in the small packets for dipping chicken in to over here
The pot pies are really good and the chicken bowls are more for lunch kind of thing . Really liking this new presenter wouldn't mind see her show the difference from places like Japan or Chine or even the U.K.
As someone living in Australia for long time and originally from Taiwan, It's always exciting to see creativity and variety in food options, Taiwan's KFC is really pushing the boundaries with their menu. Hopefully, we'll see more diverse and creative offerings here in Australia too - who knows, maybe KFC will take some inspiration and spice things up Down Under! Cheers to hoping for some exciting new flavors! 🌶🍗 In Taiwan KFC they have following varities: Roasted Chicken: Imagine perfectly roasted chicken with that crispy skin and tender meat. It's a game-changer, seriously. Portuguese Tarts: Yep, you read that right. KFC here serves up these delightful Portuguese tarts - flaky pastry filled with creamy custard. They're so indulgent! Peanut Butter Cheese Fry Chicken: Sounds wild, right? But trust me, it works. Picture this: juicy chicken coated in a crunchy peanut butter and cheese crust. It's a flavor combo you didn't know you needed until now. Roasted Chicken Burger: Forget the regular old burger - this one takes it up a notch. Juicy roasted chicken served up in a soft bun with all the fixings. It's a taste sensation, it comes in two main flaviour the original roasted or roasted with spicy coating. Sweet Potato Chips: Move over, regular fries. KFC here offers sweet potato chips that are crispy on the outside and oh-so-fluffy on the inside. They're the perfect sidekick to any meal. Each of these options brings something unique to the table, and the flavors are out of this world. It's got me thinking - why doesn't Australia's KFC offer more creative choices like these? With so much potential for deliciousness, it's time for KFC Down Under to step up their game and give us Aussies a taste of the extraordinary. Trust me, once you try these flavors, you'll be hooked! And guess what? The deliciousness doesn't stop there! Taiwan's KFC even has a breakfast menu that'll make your mornings ten times better. Get ready for some serious breakfast envy: Omelette Sandwich: Start your day right with a fluffy omelette sandwiched between two slices of soft bread. It's the perfect blend of savory and satisfying. Oatmeal Meal: Need a wholesome breakfast option? Look no further than KFC's oatmeal meal. It's warm, comforting, and packed with goodness to fuel your day. Hash Browns: Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - KFC's hash browns are the ultimate breakfast sidekick. They're so addictive, you'll want to order extras. Egg Wrap: Take your breakfast to-go with KFC's egg wrap. It's a delicious combination of scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of fillings, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. And of course, they still offer their famous fried chicken varieties for breakfast because, let's be honest, who wouldn't want to start their day with some finger-lickin' goodness? I don't know about you, but just thinking about these breakfast options has me drooling. It's like KFC here has cracked the code for the perfect morning meal. Australia's KFC could definitely take a leaf out of their book and expand their breakfast menu to include some of these mouthwatering options. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these mouthwatering options. Let's hope Australia's KFC takes note and spices things up a bit!
I’m Australian, was just in the UK over Christmas. One thing the Brit KFC does better than us is they toast their crunch wraps. Tastes so much better and holds everything together nicely 👍
In Australia several years ago they came out with chicken coated in Louisiana red bean chili. It was pretty good and spicy, but only for limited time and it never came back again.
This woman constantly saying "Chicken Sandwich" is doing my head in... Chicken BURGER, no one calls that a Sandwich here WOMAN 😡 🤣 Edit: Oh, NOW she's started calling them Burgers... Correctly 😂
Yep, calling them burgers is part of our culture. But, I hope you know that burgers are a type of sandwich, just like how toasties are a type of sandwich, or how a foot long sub is a type of sandwich. Sandwich is a generic term, burger, toasty, sub, are specific.
I miss a couple of the limited addition burgers .. the New Orleans burger, and the one where there was a black burger bun 😊 Also, we need the crispy strips and satay sauce back too ..
Way back in the 1970s I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Everyone knew the best side was to mix the individual mashed potatoes and gravy with the coleslaw. I didn't like chicken until I worked there and discovered breast meat. For desserts we not only had the Little Bucket Parfaits but also homemade pies made by the owner's mother. The mashed potatoes were just instant flakes. Also, we made the coleslaw in big tubs where we mixed the dressing with the slaw mix using hands and arms. The tubs were so deep we would be up to our elbows in slaw and dressing (literally). Apparently, our location was so good that some bigwigs from corporate came to visit. This was before Yum Brands took over. We didn't have a drive-thru however, we could get people in and out in 2 minutes on $5 bucket nights. Mind you with 100% accuracy on the orders. I know this because our manager timed us one night.
KFC Has gotten so expensive in the USA and the combo meals in watching this have gotten smaller because you used to be able to get two sides with your meal standard was two pieces of chicken, a biscuit, mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw
As an Aussie who tried USA 'biscuits' .. they struck me as a peppery-tasting scone .. but the flavour varied everywhere .. so it came down to the cook/chef where you were getting them. Our 'scones' are neutral tasting dough, usually paired with strawb jam & cream ... (personally I like lots butter and honey on my scones ;) ) ...
US KFC sucks too, but is delicious in various Caribbean countries. I've heard New Zealand KFC is pretty good and that India's KFC is mediocre. Popeye's is where it's at imo.
KFC here in Australia use to have the best BBQ chicken and the special stuffing was so good I wish they bought it back. I have never tasted anything that comes close. Also don't know why they stopped selling cobs of corn. I was very unique to KFC
Man gotta say as an aussie tradie nothing beats the zinger box with supercharged sauce AND peppered mayo instead of plain mayo absolute boss of a combo👍👍👍
Australia doesnt have ranch sauce. Anywhere for anything. Its a us thing. You dint eplain solo the drink. Its an australian legend. Its a strong lemon drink.
You can find ranch at some places in Australia. Subway has it now as a regular topping. It's not nearly as popular here of course but "anywhere for anything"?
13:46 - the KFC pie was tried in the Australian and New Zealand markets LONG ago but it failed, mainly because we had higher standards down under regarding meat pies and like Starbucks and coffee, no one was going to pay for an overpriced pie vs the cheaper and better competition LOL. I remember it well and everyone in both countries felt the same way, it wasn't totally terrible but just laughably overpriced
What happened with go buckets? Why were they not mentioned in here for Australia? As a KFC employee I feel like it needs to be mentioned. I give it an honorable mention as an employee, a small cup sized bucket $4.95 filled with chips and 4 types of chicken to go in with the lid, popcorn chicken, 1 original tender, 2 wicked wings or 3 nuggets with the purpose to be made easy in up to 5/10 seconds as a snack for the road given that it is called the go bucket.
The wicked wings dont have a spicy marinade under them, they are just coated with the same stuff the zinger is. Anything ‘spicy’ at kfc australia is just the same breading as the zinger
I had kfc a few weeks back. Shrinkflation has hit hard. Everything was tiny. 3 strips used to be a meal. Each one was the size of a chip. Crazy. Australia
Noooo she called it a Chicken Sandwich....for the record Australians call it a 'burger' irrespective of the protein type in it.

@@thegoodberrygaming9578 I only brought it up because the American bloke was upset they didn't have any popcorn chicken. So I was being fececious by mentioning we sometimes get a whole bucket
The bucket is 2 Maxi's worth. Was told by staff when i went in asking for the bucket (Apparently they had stopped that promotion a day before). Staff told me it was two maxi's worth of popcorn and yeah so i got 2 maxi's instead and yeah, checks out lol
@@Chaotic_H3LL nice, I was estimating from the advertising
KFC in Australia used to have corn on the cob, many many moons ago. I miss that so much!
Also, my guess regarding the seaweed extract is that it adds umami to the fried chicken (though I wonder if the 'flavour enhancer' in the list of ingredients could be MSG, which serves the same purpose).
When it's $2 slider specials on the app......TIME TO GOBBLE THEM UP. Such an easy cheap snack.
Back in the 90s Australian KFC did do thick shakes but they dropped them by the 00s, also the desert options used to be small cheesecake (essentially cheesecake flavoured mousse on a bed of sweet biscuit crumb) or chocolate mousse before all the crusher business came along and she may be calling it a chicken sandwich for the benefit of American audiences but we just say chicken burger here, especially on the KFC menu. Sandwiches are for sliced bread yanks not buns. Buns make it a burger.
I miss those cheesecakes.
Best when eaten frozen.
Bun equals burger UNLESS it's a salad roll
Chicken sandwich? We call them chicken burgers in Australia 🎉Anything in a burger bun in Australia becomes a burger unless it’s between two pieces of toast then it’s a toastie or jaffle or sandwich..and I’m glad she dropped chicken burger in her review of the Zinger
Made me cringe hearing her say “chicken sandwich”
The American bloke called a twister and a slider a sandwich as well. Triggered
@@Millard9012They're way different, one is literally a wrap, the other is similar to a soft taco.
@infinitedeath1384 thanks Capitan Obvious.
@@Millard9012 It's captain, not Capitan.
OMG... So many items missed from our Aussie menu..... I should be doing this show....
Limited Time items are not included. Also Some parts of aust have different items than others
I just want to point out that its not Fries that go on the crunch burger, but corn chips.
Also comes with Jalapeno Mayo that makes it
I miss the salt and vinegar popcorn chicken in AUS KFC. I think it was a promotional thing for the cricket back in 2012 and was so good
"I would have liked to try the supercharged sauce" but completely ignores the supercharged slider and the zinger stacker burger that had the sauce in it. Then the Mountain Dew freeze tasking like Solo? Fix your tastebuds, it has ZERO lemony flavour. Absolute sacrilege.
Here in Canada our KFC menu is quite stripped down compared to these two, but we do have two items that are standouts:
1) The "Famous Chicken Burger" - which is ginormous and meant to compete with Popeye's. It's super juicy. Website describes it as: "Triple breaded, buttermilk marinated chicken fillet, drizzled with buttery garlic oil, 3 sweet pickles, double mayo on a potato bun"
2) Poutine. Website describes it as: "KFC's take on a Canadian Classic. Crisp fries, cheese curds and gravy"
Why the hell do people call the chicken sandwich a burger? is it to be different or something?
we need Australia VS UK next
True✊✊🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
Need to do that for fish and chips. Apparently the Brits do it terribly by comparison but love it.
Hungry jacks vs burger king, when?
@@Starvaze I think they've done that already, I'm pretty sure I saw a link to it in my feed.
that was literally the last episode, hungry jacks vs us burger king@@Starvaze
There's a 'hidden' menu in the app for Australia.
I love the Chocolate mousse! The snack buckets in Australia are brilliant too - chips with nuggets or popcorn but not a HUGE portion.
When I was a kid you could get corn on the cob, and a small soft bun, and a bean salad that was delicious 😋
I'm not sure when it stopped.
Yeah, I remember the bean salad. Do you remember the zucchini salad?
Hey Joe, if you want popcorn chicken just pop over the border to Canada! We still have it and wings too!
You guys still have wings?! I’m soo jealous! I’m in Ohio, USA, and we had a delicious 8 piece hot wings for $5 and I loved it!
Speaking of Canada the reason they haven’t done Canada is probably cause the exclusives and the portion sizes are the same maybe not 100% but most
@@SuperMarioArya plus Canada KFC is more expensive also
And Poutine and ketchup chips! Oh Canada....❤I'm jealous 😂
Theres more than this on the app, including the secret menu. Theres also the tower stacker burgers you can get, no bun just chicken chicken chicken. Years ago KFC here used to sell corn, roast potatos and other stuff too.
peas and carrot as well here
Kfc once sold bbq chook too. Its wasnt a stand out vs so many take aways who all started to then sell bbq chook.
I had an opportunity to try one of the famous bowls recently. It was so salty....I almost couldn't eat it. I have had frozen versions from the supermarket....and they are delicious!
I'm curious of the Famous Bowl, but I don't think its very impressive. It looks like they had a surplus of mashed potato, so added some leftover fried chicken and corn, along with cheese to make it look like an original and exciting idea.
It truly depends on the condition of the restaurant and the person making the famous bowl but it really is simple but good
@@lucinae8512 Banquet has a frozen version that has the same ingredients and is considerably cheaper. I have made my own before, but it's hard to scale it down to one serving.

In Australia we get a zinger pie released for about 1 month a year.... they are amazing
The chicken pie has been in Australia as a limited-time promo a few times.
They called it a zinger pie I think it was
Zinger crunch is decent. It's tortilla chips not fries... You got that right Joe 😂
See you sitting there sinking your teeth into a crunchy zinger and sipping on your 1.25 bottle Pepsi Max and perving on the hot Korean womb sitting beer by 😁
@@alextomei-z6l lol what? Korean womb?!
I’m personally not a KFC person but my dad loves it, particularly the mash and gravy. We used to have to get him some every time we went to a bigger town
Australia: We have 21 pieces of chicken!
Kuwait: *Laughs in 24 pieces*
24:04 "Kentucky Fried Chicken, as it was known back then" she says as she hugs the tub that reads Kentucky Fried Chicken. 😂
KFC is just easier to say and text. I think it will always be Kentucky Fried Chicken
Rebranding exists durrr. The historical name was Kentucky Fried Chicken and still appears on containers and wrappers as a salute to the originator of the restaurant. They rebranded as KFC during the millennium flip after Yum! Brands acquired them in the 90s.
They went back to Kentucky Fried Chicken with the older looking font in recent years, but here in Aus we usually just say KFC, K-fers, Dirty Bird, stuff like that.
@@BoshPlaysnah as someone who lives in Australia I’ve never heard someone call KFC “dirty bird” or “K-fers” before💀
@@Huobaojiqitotally agree. 'Dirty bird' sounds like a woman who sleeps around....lol
I can’t for you guys to do a US vs Australia Pizza Hut episode.
Pretty hard pizza hut barely exists in Australia any more
In Australia, Original Recipe comes in "4" sizes, it also comes in a 2 piece, At least at my local KFC it does
Mine too. It’s called a 2 piece combo with chips and a drink.
I've been getting the 2 piece feed since the 80s. I specify a leg and a thigh. Otherwise you get a wing and a breast, which aren't my favourite.
@@stevetarrant3898 haha I ask for the same for the same reason
KFC in Australia was at its best for taste in the late 90's early 2000's, before they changed the oil it's cooked in and they also had Tender Roast chicken. Now they have a lot more options, although the taste isn't the same.
Mighty Zingers are a fan favorite across the world when it comes to KFC. I wonder why it's not popular in America of all places?
Everytime I watch these I’m so shocked at how many things are only exclusives to certain countries.. it’s so fascinating! Obviously different parts of the world have different preferences, but being a massive chain you’d think the menus would be much more similar to save money overall
Considering things Americans eat that are not allowed to be put in food for most of the rest of the world it's not surprising, menus have to be streamlined for the kitchen process to conform to each countries regulations
I am not Australian but in the UK we have Supercharger Sauce which is just a spicy mayo which is what I assume the Supercharged Sauce was we also have Twister wraps that contain the sauce too
EDIT we also have Krushem's here in the UKthat they still sell but I think ours are actually ice creams though I am not sure since I don't order them and we have the Zinger burger but Zinger chicken is only available in burger form in a fillet patty and not for chicken on the bone
I love the SuperCharger and Garlic Mayo. The former is more like mayo with a slight kick of Sriracha, while the latter has a great savoury flavour.
Krishems suck here in the UK. I tried it twice now. It's crushed ice with some milky Oreo liquid over it. It's disgusting. Like watery McFlurry with crunchy ice. It's useless.
@@IceKoldKilla At least you managed it get it, because my local branches always tell me they've run out of it or their machines aren't working!
Supercharged Zingers are limited time thing in Aus, kind of. I say kind of because they always have Supercharged sauce on hand so you can ask for it to be added to anything at any time of the year.
@@thebusboy1 Yeah although I do not think the sauce is by default available on our Zinger burgers it can be added to any burger or wrap as an option and they even have it available in the small packets for dipping chicken in to over here
Got caught watching this in work! Apparently my boss is a secret Food Wars fan
The pot pies are really good and the chicken bowls are more for lunch kind of thing . Really liking this new presenter wouldn't mind see her show the difference from places like Japan or Chine or even the U.K.
As someone living in Australia for long time and originally from Taiwan, It's always exciting to see creativity and variety in food options, Taiwan's KFC is really pushing the boundaries with their menu. Hopefully, we'll see more diverse and creative offerings here in Australia too - who knows, maybe KFC will take some inspiration and spice things up Down Under! Cheers to hoping for some exciting new flavors! 🌶🍗
In Taiwan KFC they have following varities:
Roasted Chicken: Imagine perfectly roasted chicken with that crispy skin and tender meat. It's a game-changer, seriously.
Portuguese Tarts: Yep, you read that right. KFC here serves up these delightful Portuguese tarts - flaky pastry filled with creamy custard. They're so indulgent!
Peanut Butter Cheese Fry Chicken: Sounds wild, right? But trust me, it works. Picture this: juicy chicken coated in a crunchy peanut butter and cheese crust. It's a flavor combo you didn't know you needed until now.
Roasted Chicken Burger: Forget the regular old burger - this one takes it up a notch. Juicy roasted chicken served up in a soft bun with all the fixings. It's a taste sensation, it comes in two main flaviour the original roasted or roasted with spicy coating.
Sweet Potato Chips: Move over, regular fries. KFC here offers sweet potato chips that are crispy on the outside and oh-so-fluffy on the inside. They're the perfect sidekick to any meal.
Each of these options brings something unique to the table, and the flavors are out of this world. It's got me thinking - why doesn't Australia's KFC offer more creative choices like these? With so much potential for deliciousness, it's time for KFC Down Under to step up their game and give us Aussies a taste of the extraordinary. Trust me, once you try these flavors, you'll be hooked!
And guess what? The deliciousness doesn't stop there! Taiwan's KFC even has a breakfast menu that'll make your mornings ten times better. Get ready for some serious breakfast envy:
Omelette Sandwich: Start your day right with a fluffy omelette sandwiched between two slices of soft bread. It's the perfect blend of savory and satisfying.
Oatmeal Meal: Need a wholesome breakfast option? Look no further than KFC's oatmeal meal. It's warm, comforting, and packed with goodness to fuel your day.
Hash Browns: Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - KFC's hash browns are the ultimate breakfast sidekick. They're so addictive, you'll want to order extras.
Egg Wrap: Take your breakfast to-go with KFC's egg wrap. It's a delicious combination of scrambled eggs, cheese, and your choice of fillings, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla.
And of course, they still offer their famous fried chicken varieties for breakfast because, let's be honest, who wouldn't want to start their day with some finger-lickin' goodness?
I don't know about you, but just thinking about these breakfast options has me drooling. It's like KFC here has cracked the code for the perfect morning meal. Australia's KFC could definitely take a leaf out of their book and expand their breakfast menu to include some of these mouthwatering options.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these mouthwatering options. Let's hope Australia's KFC takes note and spices things up a bit!
Australia used to do a whole chicken called Tender Roast.
Supercharged sauce is basically spicy Mayo, we have in NZ.
Its also the best sauce (Fite me) And its the sauce they use in the zinger stacker burger.
@@DaBoomDudeit really is the best! I always try to grab a few every time I’m at KFC, sooooo good!
@@DaBoomDude facts, if I could buy bottles of it I'd have it everyday
You could have tried the superchared slider....the superchared sauce is on there i think
Nice, just the video I wanted these guys to make.
Thanks for watching!
The supercharged sauce is a spicy sauce so it basically gives a nice spicy kick to the food
I remember having a zinger pie in Oz in the late 2000s early 2010s
Same. They need to bring them back
I remember hearing about thoes. I think it would have been like 2012-2013 time. I can remember them and i am only 18.
would have had them around 2018/19 as well when i worked there
Those pies were so good that i would go to KFC and just get 2 of them, no chicken or chips 🤣
That video was a LOT more entertaining, than i had guessed when i started it. Thank you.
Wow great job you sucked me in to watch the whole thing. lol
I’m going to have KFC now.
Thanks for watching!
I’m Australian, was just in the UK over Christmas. One thing the Brit KFC does better than us is they toast their crunch wraps. Tastes so much better and holds everything together nicely 👍
The chips on the crunch burger is corn chips
It tastes nice, but it's too crunchy. I prefer soft burgers, the double tender burger is my favourite.
love that the medium drink he holds up is a large
Seaweed extract is the same as what they do in Japan. It adds flavour (umami)
Yep, MSG by another name
@@IanFitzgeraldexactly!
In Australia several years ago they came out with chicken coated in Louisiana red bean chili. It was pretty good and spicy, but only for limited time and it never came back again.
when joe said "blech, corny", i felt that 🌽 16:29 🤣
Hey insider food a great food war video would be Newzealand vs Us i would love to see a video including my home country keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
We got the a best food in NZ but no one cares 😂
These people are so awesome love there videos
You should have talked about the Go Buckets
some interesting differences..I miss the Zinger in the US.
This woman constantly saying "Chicken Sandwich" is doing my head in... Chicken BURGER, no one calls that a Sandwich here WOMAN 😡 🤣
Edit: Oh, NOW she's started calling them Burgers... Correctly 😂
Yep, calling them burgers is part of our culture. But, I hope you know that burgers are a type of sandwich, just like how toasties are a type of sandwich, or how a foot long sub is a type of sandwich. Sandwich is a generic term, burger, toasty, sub, are specific.
KFC in Australia? Brittany well done!
Unfortunately for US KFC, those wings are discontinued in the menu, how sad
Honestly, chicken breast and legs are better imo, and I've eaten many chicken wings as well from KFC.
I miss a couple of the limited addition burgers ..
the New Orleans burger, and the one where there was a black burger bun 😊
Also, we need the crispy strips and satay sauce back too ..
I don't trust those black buns. Had one once and my shit came out a really weird colour
The pot pie fascinates me, who orders that eh? I'll have to check up here in Toronto for it!
A lot of people.
I'm so old I can remember being able to buy Coca Cola at KFC...
wasnt that long ago in new zealand that they had coke, surely, better not think about it otherwise might get some existential dread
Way back in the 1970s I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Everyone knew the best side was to mix the individual mashed potatoes and gravy with the coleslaw. I didn't like chicken until I worked there and discovered breast meat. For desserts we not only had the Little Bucket Parfaits but also homemade pies made by the owner's mother.
The mashed potatoes were just instant flakes. Also, we made the coleslaw in big tubs where we mixed the dressing with the slaw mix using hands and arms. The tubs were so deep we would be up to our elbows in slaw and dressing (literally).
Apparently, our location was so good that some bigwigs from corporate came to visit. This was before Yum Brands took over. We didn't have a drive-thru however, we could get people in and out in 2 minutes on $5 bucket nights. Mind you with 100% accuracy on the orders. I know this because our manager timed us one night.
We used to have the famous bowl in Australia but they've gotten rid of it and never brought it back, quite a shame since I loved it.
Really? How many years ago was that?!
@@kierenmoore3236 If I had to go off memory it was probably around 2007 - 2008?
KFC Has gotten so expensive in the USA and the combo meals in watching this have gotten smaller because you used to be able to get two sides with your meal standard was two pieces of chicken, a biscuit, mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw
If you look on the app, it’s almost hidden, the do have a $10 8 piece bucket of chicken! That is my ultimate go to! 😃
As an Aussie who tried USA 'biscuits' .. they struck me as a peppery-tasting scone .. but the flavour varied everywhere .. so it came down to the cook/chef where you were getting them. Our 'scones' are neutral tasting dough, usually paired with strawb jam & cream ... (personally I like lots butter and honey on my scones ;) ) ...
👍
This video just makes me glad I’m
Australian
We don’t have ranch unless it’s mayo 19:55
KFC in the UK is crap, i think other countries has better KFC
I don't think I've ever had the correct order, any time I've been to KFC (UK)
@@MeganeMondeoMX5they're bad, they have gone down hill for years
I’m from America, and KFC is also crap in the USA, I see on the internet that KFC is better in other countries.
US KFC sucks too, but is delicious in various Caribbean countries. I've heard New Zealand KFC is pretty good and that India's KFC is mediocre. Popeye's is where it's at imo.
US KFC is crap but the KFC in the Caribbean is absolutely amazing
We actually did have that famous bowl here as a limited edition years ago!
KFC here in Australia use to have the best BBQ chicken and the special stuffing was so good I wish they bought it back. I have never tasted anything that comes close. Also don't know why they stopped selling cobs of corn. I was very unique to KFC
I loved their corn cobs.
12:20 French fries????
Man gotta say as an aussie tradie nothing beats the zinger box with supercharged sauce AND peppered mayo instead of plain mayo absolute boss of a combo👍👍👍
FYI, ITS NOT CHICKEN SANDWICH, ITS CHICKEN BURGER!
I second that!!!
Just remember, there are two separate companies trading as KFC in Aus, which is why Hot'n'Spicy is available full time in QLD and NT.
good video
That's a good pun at 9:35 😂😂
I love and do miss popcorn chicken nuggets at KFC. I have had them since childhood. I will never forget about it 😞😊
Watching an Aussie calling it a chicken sandwich instead of burger is just weird
we have a 21 piece box?
Aussies KFC is so much better 🥵🤧 knowing I have been in USA and Aussie but Aussie is best
Aus has a 2 piece feed too, it’s just not advertised, but it’s on the menu
Australia doesnt have ranch sauce. Anywhere for anything. Its a us thing. You dint eplain solo the drink. Its an australian legend. Its a strong lemon drink.
You can find ranch at some places in Australia. Subway has it now as a regular topping. It's not nearly as popular here of course but "anywhere for anything"?
It's technically also on the McCrispy burger at Maccas. First time I've had the sauce, don't recommend
In Australia I have 6, 12, 15, 20, and 40 pieces of nuggets all year round.
13:46 - the KFC pie was tried in the Australian and New Zealand markets LONG ago but it failed, mainly because we had higher standards down under regarding meat pies and like Starbucks and coffee, no one was going to pay for an overpriced pie vs the cheaper and better competition LOL. I remember it well and everyone in both countries felt the same way, it wasn't totally terrible but just laughably overpriced
Oh interesting, I never knew that we ever had them here but it makes sense why they flopped
We still have the highest standards for coffee though.
Woah she's so good at reading the script! :)
Why is corn/sweet corn US sides? Just makes no sense at all.
What happened with go buckets? Why were they not mentioned in here for Australia? As a KFC employee I feel like it needs to be mentioned. I give it an honorable mention as an employee, a small cup sized bucket $4.95 filled with chips and 4 types of chicken to go in with the lid, popcorn chicken, 1 original tender, 2 wicked wings or 3 nuggets with the purpose to be made easy in up to 5/10 seconds as a snack for the road given that it is called the go bucket.
The wicked wings dont have a spicy marinade under them, they are just coated with the same stuff the zinger is. Anything ‘spicy’ at kfc australia is just the same breading as the zinger
wicked wings and zinger is not the same, at least in nz
Ummm, I think you're wrong!
I had kfc a few weeks back. Shrinkflation has hit hard. Everything was tiny. 3 strips used to be a meal. Each one was the size of a chip. Crazy.
Australia
All my life I have put a bit of fries on my beef hamburgers, but NEVER thought of putting it on chicken sandwiches. 🤔😸
NOT sandwiches, burgers. We don't put fries on it they are corn chips!!!
