KFC Australia’s new menu item causes a stir online

KFC Australia has caused quite the stir online after it unveiled its new menu item, which some fans are eager to try but others simply refuse.

KFC Australia has just brought back a cult-menu item with a twist — and it’s left some people with their jaws wide open.

The all-new Pizza Double now features two of its signature spicy Zinger fillets, which act as the bun.

That’s right. Instead of bread, it’s the chicken that holds the “burger” together.

Wedged between them is two pepperoni slices, classic Italian inspired pizza sauce and a slice of oozy cheese.

According to KFC Australia, “this bad boy” has been elevated to “God-tier status” with it being described as the “ultimate indulgent combo”.

“After making a delicious first impression on Aussies 10 years ago, we’re excited to bring back the iconic Double with a mouth-watering pizza twist,” Kristi Woolrych, Chief Marketing and Information officer at KFC Australia, said.

“The Pizza Double is the perfect treat for those who love the best of both worlds, so we know fans of the original will go wild up for this level up.”

It has certainly made an impression with hundreds of fans commenting on the fast-food chain’s Instagram post, unable to contain their excitement.

“Two of my favourite things coming together, KFC and pizza. Have I did and gone to heaven,” one follower joked.

“Looks like I’m having KFC for tea,” said another, while others described it as a “game changer”.

“I’ve looked at this for five hours. It’s beautiful.”

However, not everyone was convinced with some simply saying “no”.

“Not sure how I feel about this,” one person commented.

“I’ve got to say this one doesn’t look great,” said another.

A third person wrote: “What have you done? Who is responsible for this”, while a fourth added: “On behalf of all Australians this can bugger off back to America.”

Then there were those who were unsure, but still willing to give it a go.

“Would be rude not to try,” one Instagram user joked, while another said: “How can you say no to that smile.”

The limited-edition Pizza Double is available now for contact-free pick-up from restaurants until Monday, October 4.
