KFC Launches Sichuan Mala Chicken And "Huat" Socks For CNY

KFC Singapore is kicking off the Chinese New Year celebrations with a fiery twist, introducing its first-ever La Zi Ji (Sichuan Mala Chicken). The all-new menu is available from now till 25 February 2026! Staying true to the traditional Sichuan recipe, KFC’s La Zi Ji features crispy, juicy chicken tossed in a blend of spicy dried red chilies, chili oil, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns.

The combination is said to deliver a mala experience that balances heat with that signature tingling buzz on your tongue. A single piece of La Zi Ji Crunch will set you back $4.80, but if you prefer something smaller, the La Zi Ji Bites ($6.45 for six pieces) are a great snack-sized option that packs the same punch. For those looking to share the festive feast, the La Zi Ji Crunch Bucket ($20.80) and La Zi Ji Crunch Feast ($39.80) are great choices.

The latter includes a mix of La Zi Ji Crunch, Original Recipe Tenders, and sides, making it an ideal sharing option for groups. There’s also the La Zi Ji Crunch Buddy Meal ($29.80), which comes with a generous portion of La Zi Ji Crunch and Bites for a party of two.

To complement the fiery chicken, KFC also launched Mala Lotus Root Chips ($1.80 per pack), the perfect addition to your table of CNY goodies. There’s also the Mango Pomelo Sago Pie ($1.80 for two pieces), featuring zesty pomelo paired with sweet mango in a golden crust.

To make the CNY celebrations better, KFC has launched new HUAT Socks, available at $5.80 with any purchase of the O.R. Brioche Buddy Meal during breakfast hours, for dine-in, takeaway, or via GrabFood, Deliveroo, and Food Panda.

The fast food chain has also rolled out Huat Paws Fortune Cat Blind Boxes, a collectable series that’ll ring in more huat to your new year. These are priced at $8.80 each for a limited time.
