  • [Joe] From portion sizes to exclusives,

  • we wanted to find out all the differences between KFC

  • in the US, UK, Japan, and India.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • So, at the KFC in Japan, you can order your chicken pieces

  • in, one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces

  • Five piece bucket that comes with only leg pieces.

  • In the UK you can get buckets in three sizes,

  • you can get a six-piece.

  • Eight pieces.

  • And the largest one of them all a 10-piece leg bucket.

  • 12 pieces.

  • Or you can get a 14 piece.

  • Or 16 piece bucket.

  • Woo, that's a lot of chicken.

  • In Japan, we have three drink sizes.

  • So we have a small.

  • In the US our drinks come in medium.

  • And this is what a large drink looks like.

  • Here in India, we don't serve cups, we just serve cans.

  • If you want, you can also get half a gallon bag

  • of your favorite drink of choice.

  • Look at this thing.

  • It's convenient.

  • So the fries are the KFC in Japan come in three sizes.

  • So this is small.

  • These are regular fries.

  • And back again the large.

  • Then we've got a box.

  • Let us now measure the large to see how much we get.

  • You can do it.

  • Now, of course the US has a chicken sandwich.

  • You can also get it spicy or classic.

  • This is classic.

  • I got this little guy, a Chicken Little,

  • look at this guy, huh?

  • There's the little guy.

  • Comes of pickles, mayo.

  • So instead of a chicken sandwich, what we call ours

  • is the Chicken Fillet Burger.

  • I think it's pretty much the same thing.

  • It's like breaded and fried chicken

  • between two buns with some lettuce and some mayonnaise.

  • We also have something called the Zinger Burger

  • which is pretty much the same thing,

  • but the spice level is amped up a little bit.

  • You can also turn these burgers into a Tower Burger.

  • What that does is adds cheese and a hash brown

  • to the burger, which in my opinion,

  • very worthwhile addition.

  • Now we have special sandwiches.

  • This one right here is called Japanese-Style

  • Chicken Katsu Sandwich.

  • So let's take a look inside.

  • So it's got mayo and it's got cabbage

  • and chicken katsu right there.

  • (speaks in Japanese)

  • Hmm, oh, this sauce is like soy sauce-based sauce

  • and it's a little bit sweet,

  • and this mayo is also great with this sauce.

  • This looks really small, but it has huge amount of chicken.

  • So if you eat this, you're going to be full.

  • And next one, we've got Chicken Fillet.

  • Wow, this is also huge.

  • Alright, so this one right here

  • is called Black Hot Sandwich.

  • oh, look at this.

  • It's like pepper mayo.

  • I just tasted this pepper mayo

  • but it has a little like spiciness.

  • Oh, man, it's too strong.

  • I wouldn't get it, be careful.

  • All right, let's move on to chicken sandwiches.

  • Here in India, we don't have an American Chicken Sandwich

  • but we have a Zinger

  • and a smaller sandwich called a Krisper, cute.

  • The Krisper looks like it wants to grow up

  • and be a Zinger someday.

  • They also come in two variants: Spicy Krisper

  • and a Tandoori Zinger.

  • Let's taste all of them.

  • Oh, that's pretty yummy.

  • They've used a different kind of mayonnaise here.

  • It has a bit of sweetness to it and a spicy kick at the end.

  • And now for the legendary Zinger, back in the day

  • there were only two fast food chains here in India.

  • It was McDonald's and KFC.

  • And while McDonald's had more affordable burger options

  • the KFC Zinger was so delicious,

  • it was always a treat to eat.

  • Mmh, and it still is.

  • I love that they use a whole boneless piece

  • of proper chicken in there.

  • Delicious mayo, it's so delicious.

  • Okay, now let's try the spicy variants.

  • This is the Spicy Krisper.

  • Look at this sauce.

  • It's almost blood-red.

  • I'm excited.

  • Oh my God, the sauce almost has a szechuan taste to it.

  • Next up, the Zinger, but tandoori.

  • Hmm, I love the fullness of the chicken

  • that comes in these burgers versus

  • like a mince chicken patty in other restaurants.

  • And so much bite to it, so juicy tender.

  • That all sounds amazing.

  • Stop, you're going too fast.

  • I have to say, those sandwiches look delicious

  • and I am jealous.

  • All right, moving away from chicken,

  • India's KFC actually has vegetarian alternatives

  • for all our burgers.

  • That is a Vegetarian Krisper, a Vegetarian Spicy Krisper

  • and a Vegetarian Zinger.

  • Now while India has a majority population of non-vegetarians

  • around 70 percent, there is a huge vegetarian population,

  • which is why a lot of fast food restaurants

  • have to make sure they have a lot of vegetarian options

  • on their menu to make it more approachable

  • and acceptable for all people over here.

  • There's also levels to vegetarianism over here

  • that are, "I will eat egg but not chicken" vegetarians.

  • There are, "I will eat fish but not lamb" vegetarians.

  • There are, "I will eat the curry

  • but not the pieces" vegetarians.

  • There are, "I am vegetarian only on Tuesdays" vegetarians.

  • There are, "I have made a promise to God

  • for this one month" vegetarians.

  • There are, "I am vegetarians,

  • so you will all be vegetarian" vegetarians.

  • They're the weird ones and we try not to talk about them,

  • which is why KFC in India brands itself as just KFC.

  • There's no Kentucky Fried Chicken anywhere here

  • because obviously I'm not going to go to a place

  • that's named that if I'm one of these

  • many types of vegetarians.

  • KFC in America has extra-crispy chicken.

  • This is the best type of chicken.

  • I mean, look at this.

  • I don't know what they do to this

  • but the skin is practically falling off.

  • It is so crispy and so delicious.

  • I love extra crispy so much.

  • So we also have Dip Pack, oh.

  • So it's got Colonel Crispy and some nuggets

  • and boneless Kentucky and some original chicken.

  • So this Dip Pack, it comes with these fries.

  • So if you want to have a little bigger one

  • you can order Dip Barrel.

  • I mean it's double amount of this Dip Pack

  • so it's going to be very big.

  • So this one right here,

  • is called Four-piece Red Hot Chicken Box

  • and it comes with a pie and fry

  • and a medium drink.

  • And actually we have other box options,

  • like Four-piece Half Hot and Half Original Box,

  • And it comes with fries as well

  • and Six-piece Half Hot and Half Original Box,

  • it comes with fries again.

  • So in Japan we have (speaks Japanese).

  • That means Chicken Day, it's on every 28th of the month.

  • And two stands for "ni" and eight stands for "wa"

  • and it becomes "niwa."

  • And niwa is synonymous with niwatori.

  • Niwatori means "chicken."

  • So that's what it's called, "Chicken Day."

  • Okay, let's start with chicken in India.

  • Apart from the crispy chicken,

  • we also get Smoky Red Chicken.

  • Oof, wow.

  • I believe this is KFC's answer to tandoori chicken.

  • If you guys don't know what a tandoori is,

  • it's basically a cylindrical oven
