KFC introduced the Zinger chicken sandwich.
The Zinger is a spicy chicken sandwich associated with KFC’s international menu. It typically combines a seasoned, breaded chicken fillet with lettuce and mayonnaise or a similar sauce in a bun. Exact ingredients and availability can vary by country, because KFC adapts parts of its menu for different markets.
KFC developed the Zinger as a distinctive alternative to its more traditional fried-chicken pieces. The sandwich became particularly prominent outside the United States, where it has been sold in numerous countries and often appears among the brand’s best-known menu items.
The Zinger is sometimes confused with sandwiches created by Popeyes or other fried-chicken chains because the products share a basic format. The name “Zinger,” however, is specifically associated with KFC’s spicy chicken sandwich line.
