Of course this would be a story I’d love….thanks to the terrific website SoraNews24.com, I discovered that KFC Japan is launching fried chicken specifically to be enjoyed with booze!

As they report:

“KFC Japan is launching its new Ninniku Crispy, which is specifically seasoned to taste great when  eaten with beer and other alcoholic drinks. Pictured above, the Ninniku Crispy is based on the chain’s Colonel’s Crispy recipe, but with extra garlic (ninniku in Japanese) and soy sauce flavoring, and is finished with an additional coating of garlic-flavor oil sauce. The resulting flavor, KFC says, makes an excellent pairing with alcoholic beverages, and they’re launching it now as Japan enters the season for end-of-the-year parties, which in Japan tend to involve at least a moderate amount of stiff drinks.”

The website goes on to report:

“According to KFC, a lot of work went into getting the flavor just right, as early prototypes tasted more like eating a hunk of raw garlic, but in the end they’re promising a flavorful but properly balanced taste. They’re so confident that Ninniku Crispy and alcohol are a perfect pair that they’re even offering a Kanpai Barrel, or “Cheers Bucket,” with three pieces of Ninniku Crispy and four of Original Recipe fried chicken for 1,680 yen (US$11.20).” 

Well, I’d love to try these, and if anyone reading this has the chance to do so, let us know!
