KFC's new Chicken And Rice Bowls

The fried chicken chain is offering two new Chicken and Rice Bowls to its menu. The bowls will be available in two variants: Zesty Tex Mex and Sweet 'n Spicy BBQ. The Zesty Tex Mex will feature crispy chicken, pico de gallo, green onions and cheese on top of a bowl of rice. The Sweet 'n Spicy BBQ will boast honey BBQ chicken, green onions and cheese with the rice bowl.

While the Zesty Tex Mex looks to be made with fried chicken, the Honey BBQ appears to be a healthier grilled option. Customers can get the bowls individually or as a "Fill Ups" (cookie and drink combo) for $5.

Now I want Popeye's to do some sort of red beans and rice combination bowl as a counter offer.

[Pickman]

New and exciting ways for chicken and rice to give me diarrhea.

 

[bananafactory]

[Sanjuro]

This is KFC not Taco Bell.

[Soulscribe]

That is a dry ass lookin bowl

 

[entremet]

So is every fast food joint doing Mexican food now?

[Dennis]

"Mexican" food

 

[Zukkoyaki]

That's what I was thinking. Especially that Tex-Mex one. At least the BBQ one has some sauce on it, the Tex-Mex legit sounds like chicken, rice, onions, and tomatoes. That has bland written all over. Needs some sauce or a more liquid salsa.

 

[jooey]

seriously, it might as well be a Healthy Choice Cafe Steamer

 

[bjork]

You know what KFC needs to offer me in order to get my money? A location that I don't have to drive to bumfuck California to get to. KFC is food for lazy ass slobs, but in being one of those, I won't drive like 15 minutes just to get some chicken.

 

[FourMyle]

[Poodlestrike]

That is some weak-ass looking Pico de Gallo.

Well more Americanized Mexican food.

 

[Parakeetman]

Man what makes me even more sad is that shit will never come here to Japan unless I go on base. Then again if that was the case Id just grab taco bell instead lol

 

[ss_lemonade]

Wouldn't that be similar to their Famous Bowl meal?

 

[Wag]

I'll do you one better.

 

[Parakeetman]

I'll do you one better.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I'll do you one better.

If only Das Racist knew about this monstrosity.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

In Ireland KFC do burritos now (I don't know if this is everywhere, but currently here burrito places are the in vogue thing)

Every bit as bad as you would expect.

 

[Corgi]

just give me a cup of brown gravy to drizzle over that dry dish and i'm all good.

 

[Parallax]

I'll do you one better.

they need to add a long john silvers to that monstrosity

 

[Lazyslob]

spicy tex mex? tex mex? TEX MEX!?!!?!? kfc is losing it

 

[BobTheFork]

I'll do you one better.

They used to have some Kentaco Hut's out here but I haven't seen one in a long time.

 

[Valnen]

Long John Silvers is amazing and better than all 3 of those places combined.

 

[Fox318]

Anyone remember when Burger King was doing 2 tacos for $1?

No? Yeah, they were terrible.


I'll try the Sweet and Sour one, the Tex Mex didn't look good.

KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are all owned by the same company.

 

[Tizoc]

Uh...we've had Rice meals in KFC for over a year now over here in the middle east >_>

Oh god, that looks so good.

 

[Hex]

Sorry, but I can not understand how rice could be better than mashed bowls

 

[TimeEffect]

The only chicken and rice I need

 

[Wag]

The only chicken and rice I need

Have some chicken with your cheese?

 

[entremet]

Have some chicken with your cheese?

That's ''white sauce'' which is part of halal chicken and rice.

"White sauce" is tangy mayo based sauce.

 

[jbug617]

Have some chicken with your cheese?

I think that is white sauce you get from the halal cart.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Not really - unless they actually install grills and fresh veggies on said grill, I don't see it competing flavor wise with Chipotles. At least the one in Toronto anyway.

...Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

Why do you think KFC is introducing such a bowl in the first place?

 

[ZealousD]

Nobody who regularly goes to Chipotle is going to stop because KFC is doing this.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Ah, yes

The legendary KentacoHut

 

[Parakeetman]

Agreed. That looks fucking awesome. D:
