Chinese New Year is all about family, food, and a little bit of fun, and for 2026, KFC Singapore is bringing a spicy twist to the festivities. This year, the fast-food favourite introduces its very first La Zi Ji 辣子鸡, a Sichuan mala-inspired fried chicken that promises to satisfy those who enjoy a bold kick, while also delivering plenty of options for sharing and celebrating with loved ones. From full chicken parts to bite-sized snacks and festive collectibles, KFC’s CNY line-up is designed to make every meal both delicious and memorable.
A Mala Makeover for Fried Chicken
La Zi Ji is a classic Sichuan dish known for its numbing spice, fiery heat, and small, crispy chicken pieces tossed in dried chillies and Sichuan peppercorns. For Chinese New Year, KFC has taken that iconic flavour profile and given it a festive spin. Rather than serving only bite-sized pieces, KFC’s La Zi Ji comes in full bone-in chicken cuts, freshly breaded, fried to golden perfection, and coated in a fragrant mala seasoning. The spice gradually builds, leaving a warm tingle on the palate without being overpowering, making it perfect for diners who want a rich, flavourful experience rather than just heat for heat’s sake.
For those who prefer snacking, the La Zi Ji Bites are a highlight. These poppable pieces maintain the same spicy, aromatic profile, offering a crunch that’s addictive and easy to share. Whether enjoying them at home with family or at the office with colleagues, these bites are the perfect festive snack, giving everyone a little taste of mala magic.
Complementing the chicken are Mala Lotus Root Chips, a lighter, crispier option seasoned with the same mala spices. These chips work brilliantly as a side snack or a standalone treat, adding variety to the meal while keeping the fiery theme alive. For those with a sweet tooth, KFC’s Mango Pomelo Sago Pie rounds off the menu. The zesty mango and refreshing pomelo wrapped in a crisp pastry shell is more than a dessert—it’s a symbol of prosperity, perfectly aligned with Chinese New Year traditions.
Buckets, Feasts, and Buddy Meals Made for Sharing
Festive dining is all about togetherness, and KFC ensures there are plenty of options for sharing this year. The La Zi Ji Crunch Bucket comes with five full chicken pieces and is presented in a special “Bucket of Abundance” sleeve, featuring traditional motifs of wealth and prosperity.
For larger groups, the La Zi Ji Crunch Feast combines La Zi Ji Bites, Original Recipe Tenders, sides, and drinks, serving four comfortably. For those who prefer milder flavours, the HUAT Feast offers a combination of Original Recipe and Hot & Crispy chicken, along with tenders and sides. Smaller gatherings can opt for the La Zi Ji Crunch Buddy Meal, which pairs both La Zi Ji Crunch and Bites with familiar sides—a convenient option for a shared meal without committing to an entire feast.
This approach to sharing makes it easy for diners to enjoy a variety of flavours while also keeping things festive. The meals are designed to be interactive and communal, encouraging people to dig in together, which is especially meaningful during the New Year season.
Huat Paws Collectibles Bring Luck to the Table
Beyond the food, KFC is offering a playful addition to the season: Huat Paws Fortune Cat blind boxes. Each box contains a cute fortune cat figurine featuring themes like Abundance Chicken Bites, Lucky Drumsticks, Fortune Egg Tarts, and the Abundance Bucket. One secret gold design is hidden among the series, giving ten lucky diners the chance to win $888.
Each figurine is designed to connect with others via a jigsaw-style base, creating a larger display when collected. The blind boxes are available from 14 January 2026 at $8.80 each with any dine-in or takeaway order made over the counter or through the self-ordering kiosk. Winners of the Secret Gold Fortune Cat can claim the $888 prize by posting a photo of their golden figurine on Instagram or Facebook, tagging KFC Singapore, and following the campaign rules. Winners will be announced on 6 March 2026.
In addition to the collectible figurines, KFC is also offering HUAT Socks at $5.80 with any breakfast purchase in-store or via KFC Delivery, featuring the same fortune cat designs. Huat Paws Red Packets will also be handed out with every purchase of the La Zi Ji Crunch Box or La Zi Ji Chicken Bites Box between 21 January and 24 February. Each set contains six red packets, adding a festive touch to every meal.
