KFC Japan Unveils Low-Odor Chicken Ideal for Public Transport Commuters

KFC continues to innovate with customer convenience in mind. Following creative launches like edible nail polish, a bath bomb, and a fried chicken-scented candle, KFC Japan returns to its core with a game-changing product: low-odor chicken. Designed for those quick cravings on the go, this chicken lets you enjoy a meal in public—such as on public transport—without the strong aroma bothering fellow passengers, especially at 10 a.m.

No Lingering Smell in the Air

Currently exclusive to the take-out counter at KFC's Shinjuku metro station location in central Tokyo, two pieces cost 3€70. Given Japan's culture of politeness and consideration, this innovation is poised for popularity. SoraNews24 testers reported barely detecting any scent unless pressing their nose directly to the wings—not the most appealing trait. However, the flavor and aroma fully return after microwaving, making it practical for later enjoyment. Would you give it a try?
