Texas Chicken Latest Fried Chicken Creation Is Literally Popcorn-Flavoured Chicken

Back when I was a kid and tried popcorn chicken for the first time, I had a dream.

A dream that in the future, fast-food joints would stop lying to us and falsely advertising their product as “popcorn” chicken, when it only looked like our favourite movie snack.

A dream that one day, kids, adults, and old people alike would be able to dig into a big bucket of popcorn chicken knowing that it’ll actually taste like popcorn and not some boring old fried chicken.

A dream that one day I could tell my grandchildren about the time that popcorn chicken once tasted like chicken, and see their eyes widen in horror.

A dream tha-

Editor: Aiyah, stop being so dramatic lah. Just tell the readers what they need to know.

Ok fine.

All that’s left to say is that my dreams have finally come true.

Texas Chicken Latest Fried Chicken Creation Is Literally Popcorn-Flavoured Chicken

Have you ever looked at popcorn chicken and wished it actually tasted like popcorn too?

If you have, I’m deeply concerned, but I also have good news for you.

Throw away your preconceived notions of popcorn chicken, brush your teeth, and dust your dogs, because Texas Chicken Singapore is introducing its new Buttery Popcorn Chicken that has real popcorn kernels in it!

While the fried chicken is the same, the savoury and buttery kernels coating the meat will provide an extra crunch, giving customers a satisfying bite.

According to their press release, it took Texas Chicken’s R&D team over a year to come up with the Buttery Popcorn Crunch Chicken.

*R&D Meeting in 2019*

Boss: Guys, we need something new. Something that will really make us pop and draw more customers. 

Employee: What about a Nasi Lemak burger?

Boss: Nope, that’s already been done.

Employee 2: What about a chocolate banana pie?

Boss: Have you guys never been to McDonald’s or something?

Employee 3: I’ve got it. What about popcorn chicken that actually tastes like popcorn?

Boss: 

Employee 3:

Boss: Let’s reconvene in a year’s time. 

*R&D Meeting in 2020*

Boss: So, what do you guys have for me?

*silence*

Employee 3: I still think that popcorn idea was goo-

Boss: OK FINE JUST DO IT!

Sure, you could probably say “I could have thought of that”. But if that were true, all the fast-food joints would have popcorn chicken that tasted like popcorn.

Price

It is, however, not exactly cheap.

You can get a piece of the Buttery Popcorn Crunch Chicken for $4.30, or if you really want that popcorn look and feel, you could go for the Buttery Popcorn Bites, which costs $5.50.

Need an unhealthier accompaniment to your already unhealthy main course? Well, try Texas Chicken’s new Curly Fries, which costs $2.90 for the regular and $3.90 for the large.

Want to pig-out with your friends or family instead? Choose the combo meals, then.

And if you’re feeling particularly lazy and gluttonous, you could order the 8-piece meal which costs $50.90 and is exclusively available via food delivery partners Foodpanda, Grabfood, Deliveroo and Texas Chicken’s own islandwide delivery website.

The 8-piece meal comes with:

• 8pcs Buttery Popcorn Crunch Chicken
• 2 Buttery Popcorn Bites
• 2 Large Curly Fries
• 4pc Honey Butter Biscuit
• 4 Regular Coca Cola

Reader: That sounds perfect for me. 

You mean for you and your family?

Reader: I know what I said.

For delivery orders with a minimum spend of $30.00 via Texas Chicken’s delivery website, you can also get 10% off using the promo code POP10F.

The new menu item is available for a limited time only, however – from 27 August to 7 October 2020 – so you should probably get your hands and mouth on it as soon as possible!

Meanwhile…

K*C: Oh yeah? You might have popcorn chicken but we can battle on another front.

Fast-food lovers: Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight. Fight.
