Having taken an interest in Peranakan cuisine lately, the new limited-time only Nyonya Chicken from KFC piqued my interest, with its description of chicken “drenched with an aromatic sauce, made of coconut, chillies, dried shrimp, curry spices and laksa leaves”. Using the base of a typical “spicy” chicken, this item carries a hint of rendang flavour; perhaps it could be a little salty to some, but the sauce does carry a fragrant hint of rempah spices that is pretty alluring, providing the “Nyonya” flavours that it promises in the namesake — the chicken not being particularly spicy, and should be pretty suitable even for those with a lower tolerance of spiciness. Pretty decent overall.
