The 1-pc Salted Caramel Chicken la carte is a single piece of chicken covered in a sticky, sweet caramel glaze with just a touch of salt. It’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, like the usual KFC chicken, but with a sweet twist. Since it’s an à la carte item, it comes alone no rice, no drink, just the chicken.
When I first tried it, I expected it to be a little weird. Sweet and chicken? But once I took the first bite, they worked well together. My niece, who is in 5th grade, liked it even more than I did!
