Yes really! KFC also joins the cheese trend with its viral Hot & Cheesy Chicken. The delicious, creamy cheese sauce combines perfectly with signature KFC crispy chicken. The sauce is surprisingly hot, but it doesn’t hide the cheese flavor. It is better to enjoy it right away when the chicken skin is still crispy. It’s really a finger-lickin good!

You can find this menu in KFC chains all around Indonesia. For delivery, contact 14022.
