❓FAQs
1. What is the difference between the Pepper Mayo and the standard Mayonnaise?
The Pepper Mayo used in this burger is typically a creamier, tangier sauce that features a distinct black pepper flavour, complementing the richness of the bacon and cheese. The standard mayo is often a milder, simpler, creamy white sauce.
2. Is the bacon fresh or pre-cooked?
The bacon used by KFC is typically pre-cooked and cured, often heated quickly before being assembled into the burger. It is known for its crispy texture when served.
3. Does the Original Crispy Bacon & Cheese Burger Box cost more than the regular Original Crispy Burger Box?
Yes. The addition of the premium ingredients, bacon and cheese, usually results in a price increase of approximately AUD $1.00 to $2.00 compared to the standard box meal.
4. Can I swap the Hot & Crispy™ Boneless pieces for bone-in Original Recipe chicken?
Yes, most KFC Australia stores allow customisation of the box meals for a small fee. You can typically substitute the 2 Hot & Crispy Boneless pieces for 1 piece of Original Recipe Chicken for an additional charge (often around $1.00).4
5. Why is the energy content of this box so high?
The high energy content (4,800 kJ) is mainly due to the added fat and protein from the bacon, cheese, and the double-breading on the chicken fillet, combined with the high carbohydrate and fat content of the chips and the full-sugar soft drink (if chosen).
