❓FAQs
1. What is the difference between this box and the “Regular” Zinger Box?
The official KFC Australia menu previously featured a “Regular Zinger Box” that included one piece of Original Recipe Chicken and 3 Wicked Wings.2 The current Zinger® Burger Box Hot & Crispy™ has been streamlined to include 2 Hot & Crispy Boneless pieces instead, offering a mix of spicy bone-in chicken and spicy boneless pieces.
2. Can I make this box completely non-spicy?
No. The main components—the Zinger® Burger and the Hot & Crispy™ Boneless pieces—are inherently spicy due to their marinade and coating. You cannot remove the spice from the chicken itself. For a non-spicy option, you should choose the Original Crispy Burger Box.
3. Can I swap the Hot & Crispy™ Boneless pieces for bone-in Original Recipe chicken?
Yes. You can typically substitute the 2 Hot & Crispy Boneless pieces for 1 piece of Original Recipe Chicken for a small additional charge (usually around $1.00) at most KFC Australia restaurants, allowing you to sample the non-spicy chicken with your Zinger burger.3
4. Why is the total sodium content so high for an individual meal?
The high sodium content (around $1,700 \text{ mg}$) is accumulated from the multiple seasoned, processed components: the spicy marinade and coating on the Zinger fillet, the seasoning on the chips, the salt in the gravy, and the sodium content in the Supercharged Mayonnaise.
5. Can I order this box without the Supercharged Mayonnaise on the burger?
Yes. You can request the Zinger Burger be made without the Supercharged Mayonnaise. This will slightly reduce the total fat and Kilojoule content of the meal and will also remove the Egg allergen from the burger component (though Egg will remain in the chicken coating).
