Many fast food restaurants have attempted to master the art of the fried chicken sandwich. And people are actively seeking the best of the best, but it’s no easy feat—from its toppings, the bun, and how crisp and crunchy the chicken is, there’s a lot that goes into what makes the ideal fried chicken sandwich.
One drive-thru that seems to have mastered the science behind this type of sandwich is the Philippine-born fast food chain Jollibee. It is known for its crispy fried chicken with plenty of flavor and was even named “Best Fast Food Fried Chicken” for the second year in a row by USA Today.
Recently, Jollibee has gained even more popularity due to the successful launch of new menu items in partnership with a major music group. It was so successful that the fast food chain is now bringing the collab back, including the menu favorite that sold out in the first weekend.
Jollibee’s KATSEYE Special: Korean BBQ Fried Chicken and Chicken Sandwich Are Back
Jollibee
Last month, Jollibee partnered with global music group KATSEYE to debut two special-edition fried chicken creations, which were an instant hit among fans and sold out in one weekend. Now, the fried chicken experts are bringing back the Korean BBQ Fried Chicken and Chicken Sandwich for a limited time.
The previously sold-out KATSEYE Special Korean BBQ Fried Chicken is back on the menu, featuring the brand’s crispy, classic Chickenjoy fried chicken, which is hand-dipped in a sweet soy glaze. It has a bold kick of heat with each bite and masters the mouthwatering Korean barbecue flavor.
The KATSEYE Special Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich is a hand-breaded chicken breast glazed in a sweet and savory Korean BBQ sauce. It’s topped with cucumber, red onion, and cilantro on a brioche bun.
When the brand announced the comeback on social media, fans were thrilled. “The best chicken I ever had!” one exclaimed, while another added, “I’m healed.”
In addition to the menu features, fans will have the opportunity to enter sweepstakes to win tickets to a KATSEYE concert on the group’s “Beautiful Chaos” North American tour. The joint duo is also releasing fun merch for fans to score, including a “Chickenjoy 100% Gnarly” t-shirt, “Chickenjoy 100% Gnarly” hoodie, and a “Shared Dream” corduroy bomber jacket.
The KATSEYE-inspired swag is available online, and the irresistible menu additions are available at participating North American Jollibee locations. Based on how well the crispy, savory offerings did last time, you’ll want to get to your nearest shop ASAP before the limited-time items sell out again.
