KFC Crisps

Has anyone had these yet? I cannot seem to find them.

Tried the zinger double crunch, they were okay, good crunch and nice flavour - free KFC with the share bags too.

Got mine at a Co-op.

We tried a bag of the zinger ones, they're alright. Didn't detect any KFC flavour though. Think the mrs got them from Asda.

They are nice enough, but neither taste anything like KFC.

Basically Paprika Max crossed with Roast Chicken Walkers.

I got them at the local Asda, not tried them yet though.

They sell them at Sainsburys and just saw them in One Stop.. They are ok but dont really taste like KFC.. Very similar to McCoys Thai Sweet Chicken.

They are rather nice, tried the normal ones not the zinger.

I did think they tasted mostly just like roast chicken crisps but they do have a slight after taste of KFC to them too.

Enjoyed listening to the guys on Absolute radio getting the first packets as they "invented" them.

I've tried them both. Sainsburys and Tesco's do the 6 packs of the regular KFC flavour. The Zinger one I've only seen in the larger sharing bag from Asda and some local shops.

Their both good.

I should have a bag of each arriving from Ocado this evening. Tbh I'm not expecting them to taste all that much like KFC, I'm just hoping that they're tasty.

Edit - seems I'm not getting them as they're out of stock.

They arrived today, box of 15. Very nice indeed, I have the plain ones and they have just a bit of spicness but not overwhelming.

@ZXSpectrum Pit Stop is where mine were delivered from, looking at the label on the box I thought it was a race track cafe lol.

KFC flavour crisps

Suitable for vegetarians

The usual tastebud scam of salt, onion and garlic powders as seen in most meat implied flavours.

Isn't this a rip off?

It's Walkers (Lay's) in Thai. So probably not.

Ok, if I offer up a 2013 Japanese sample as evidence m'lud lol
KFC has its own potato chips in Japan, and we’ve got them in our bellies | SoraNews24 -Japan News-

First time those japanes chips, I thought Lays were american.

Just found some of the KFC crisps, I had zinger ones, my tongue has had enough

I wouldn't say they taste like the zinger chicken though... my missus had the normal ones and she's enjoying them, says they're 'alright'

Same, could not see point in flavour when it doesnt taste like it unfortunately - wont buy again.

Digital X · 21 Feb 2021 at 03:37

I'm a wuss when it comes to spices, doubt I could stomach the zinger, even the burger is a no go.

builder22 · 21 Feb 2021 at 15:43

There’s not many “new” flavours of crisps that don’t just taste like other crisps that have been out for ages

like when Walkers do their special editions...they just taste like roast chicken or smokey bacon etc, I guess there's only so much you can do with a crisp!

Bubo · 21 Feb 2021 at 19:59

You're not wrong there. If it were up to me I would prioritise developing doner kebab flavoured crisps. Pringles seem to have the most genuinely different flavours across the range, but they are just too lethal, if you want to live past 50 that is.
