KFC and Netflix Drop a Menu Inspired by Squid Games
KFC and Netflix have launched a special menu that celebrates the hit streaming show Squid Games. This is running at KFC Spain and for only a limited time. The flavors are developed with Korean inspirations and align with the traditional spices of the fast food chain.
The highlight of the menu is the bright pink chicken sandwich which is meant to pay homage to the Pink Guards from the series. It is made up of the signature crispy chicken fillet by KFC and it is followed by a rich Korean BBQ glaze with some crunch with the coleslaw and pickles for a bite full of flavors. All of this is tucked inside of a pink sesame seed bun.
