KFC'S WORLD FAMOUS AND BEST SELLING ZINGER CHICKEN SANDWICH IS COMING TO AMERICA

Free samples are handed out in New York's Union Square to commemorate the occasion.  Launches April 24th nationwide. 

 

KFC announced today it is spicing up the chicken sandwich category by bringing its popular Zinger spicy chicken sandwich to the United States. Created by the chicken experts with more than 70 years of experience making world famous fried chicken, the Zinger is a 100 percent chicken breast filet, double hand-breaded and fried to a golden brown by trained cooks in every KFC kitchen, and served with lettuce and Colonel’s mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun.

The Zinger is already a fan favorite in more than 120 countries across the world, and in many countries the term “Zinger” is synonymous with a fried chicken sandwich. It has enjoyed popularity across the globe since its inception in Trinidad and Tobago in 1984. More Zingers are sold in the UK, India and Australia than anywhere else. Australia alone sells more than 22 million Zingers each year.
