❓FAQs
1. Does the 6 Pieces Hot & Crispy™ come with any sides?
No. When ordered as “6 Pieces Hot & Crispy™,” it includes only the six pieces of chicken. If you order the “6 Pieces Combo Hot & Crispy™,” it typically includes large chips and a drink, significantly increasing the total Kilojoules to approximately 4,060 kJ.
2. Can I choose which parts of the chicken I receive?
No. The 6 Pieces Hot & Crispy™ is served with a mixture of bone-in chicken parts (e.g., wing, thigh, drumstick, breast) to ensure a standard mix. Specific piece requests (e.g., “only thighs”) are generally not guaranteed.
3. How does the Hot & Crispy coating differ from the Original Recipe coating?
The Hot & Crispy coating is thicker, crispier, and includes chilli and other spicy seasonings in the breading, giving it a noticeable heat. The Original Recipe coating is thinner, more tender, and focuses on a savoury, non-spicy blend of 11 herbs and spices.
4. Is the Hot & Crispy chicken considered to be healthier or lower in fat than the Original Recipe?
No. The Hot & Crispy coating is often higher in fat and Kilojoules per piece than the Original Recipe, primarily because its rougher, crispier texture absorbs more cooking oil during the frying process.
