Fast food fans have been left divided over KFC’s new “dirty” menu items which have released this week – and available for limited time only. Nothing quite hits like your favourite takeaway when you are super hungry, hungover, or just in need of a nice treat meal to pick you up. KFC, which launched in the UK in the ’60s, has continued to be a firm favourite over the years.
The iconic fried chicken brand often changes up its menu and this week the Dirty Louisiana Burger has been relaunched, as well as Dirty Loaded Fries – both said to be “dripping with flavour and loaded with all the good stuff”, according to KFC. The treats launched on Monday (April 28) and are available until June 8.
The news has delighted many fast food fans, meanwhile other have been left not-so impressed. It comes after pictures of the food products were shared on popular social media food page, New Foods UK.
“I’m all over this,” one excited fan said. One individual who loves the burger stated: “Dirty Louisiana is so good.”
Another agreed and wrote: “Dirty Louisiana is the best burger KFC have ever done.” “I want the burger,” agreed one other. “I need KFC!,” someone else after seeing the new menu.
But others did not seem as keen. “People will eat anything,” commented one person. While another added: “Looks absolutely diabolical. A third boldly exclaimed: “Wouldn’t feed it to my dogs.”
While one other wrote: “The lettuce on that burger looks horrific in fact it always does with a KFC burger.” One other shared their review, and said: “Had them earlier. Too much sauce on both of them.”
The burger is priced at £7.99, and brings together KFC’s Original Recipe fillet, cheese, a crispy hash brown, crunchy lettuce, tangy gherkins, and a trio of knockout sauces – Supercharger Mayo, Smokey BBQ, and Black Pepper Mayo – all piled high in a soft, toasted brioche-style bun. “This isn’t just a burger; it’s KFC’s dirtiest burger ever that’s so indulgent, you’ll need both hands, and maybe a napkin or two, to handle it,” KFC states.
Meanwhile the new loaded fries will set you back £3.99 and are said to “not be your average bites” and are “unapologetically messy”. KFC’s signature fries are topped with crispy Popcorn Chicken and drenched in Original Ranch, Smokey BBQ Sauce, and Zinger Ranch Dressing.
Kate Tipper, KFC’s Marketing Director, said: “We’re always listening to what our fans are craving and let’s just say, they’ve been loud about us bringing back the Dirty Louisiana Burger. So, it’s back and this time it’s even dirtier, saucier, and more indulgent than ever.
“And because we’re all about that main and side energy, we’re also dropping our brand-new Dirty Loaded Fries. It’s our first ever take on a trending classic, packed with bold, crave-driving flavours that seriously deliver. We don’t do subtle, we do extra, so if you’re ready to get messy, this one’s for you.”
