KFC Turns To Fine-Dining With Aussie Degustation Restaurant

KFC has announced the launch of a new 11-course menu, created in partnership with professional chef Nelly Robinson, which will be served for three nights only at a secret location that will only be revealed to their most “die-hard fans”.

If you enjoy the taste of the Colonel’s crispy chicken, then this news will be like music to your ears! KFC Australia will be releasing a new, luxurious 11-course menu, for their most faithful supporters. But there’s a catch: this course down crispy-chicken lane will only be available for three nights. More specifically, from April 1st till April 3rd.

This fancy new menu was cooked up by the chain restaurant’s own chefs in a collaboration made-in-heaven with Sydney restaurant owner Nelly Robinson of nel. fame. The “star of the show” is no doubt the gold-covered chicken, however the rest of the dishes on offer are likely to leave even the most healthy eaters with a strong desire to go on a cheat day.

Some of the items on the menu are the following:

Supercharged Wings – Cooked over a bed of charcoal, these are not only supercharged but beautifully charred wings
Potato and Gravy – Blink and you’ll miss it! This dish is a marvel to behold as the gravy candle (yes, that’s right!) melts, dip your potato bun into the “wax” and enjoy *chef kiss fingers
Tongue Twister – Don’t be shy, there are no rules here! Pick up your plate and lick off the Colonel’s face to relish the flavours of Kentucky Fried Chicken, tomato, lettuce and Pepper Mayo
Twister Sister – A fresh take on the original Twister, this one comes with pearl barley risotto, sundried tomato, pumpkin and last but not least the Chicken Tenders
Popcorn Chicken – It’s the Popcorn Chicken that fans know and love paired with celeriac soup, mushroom gnocchi and basil topped off with an edible floral garnish
La Di Da Drumstick (aka Fried Gold) – The iconic Original Recipe drumstick dusted with quinoa and gold ‘coz they don’t call it Fried Gold for nothing…
Chocolate Mousse – Dipped in nitrogen, these mouthfuls of scrummy chocolate mousse are ‘oh-so-good’ and will literally melt in your mouth

Nelly Robinson, chef and owner of Sydney’s nel. restaurant

Nelly Robinson (pictured above) pointed out that he really enjoyed the time he spent coming up with these new spins on classic recipes:

‘Creating an 11-course degustation with their most-loved menu items and elevating them to new heights has been a dream come true,’ he said.

‘For the menu, I’ve taken 11 KFC dishes and reimagined how the flavours and textures come to life using my expertise in degustation menus to truly blow fans away.’

‘We have crafted a high-end dining adventure, just like guests would find at my degustation restaurant.

‘So, we can’t wait to see their reactions to each of the devilishly good dishes.’

Those who wish to try out this culinary experience will need to express their interest via a reservation website, with the successful participants being contacted on March 23rd to receive all the necessary information such as the location of the restaurant. Prices are at $75 per person, with all proceeds going to KFC Youth Foundation.
