Spicy roast chicken at Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers introduces its spicy roast chicken. The new dish has a unique flavor which comes from roasting chicken — the Kenny way — and is laced with a spicy tang.

It is flavored with hot red chili peppers and a hint of tamarind. What makes it different from other spicy chicken dishes is its fiery zing, inside and out.

The spiciness is not just on the skin but is also infused into the meat.

There are different ways to enjoy Kenny’s spicy roast chicken. Feast on the whole chicken for lunch or dinner or enjoy the spicy chicken plate (which comes with any side dish of your choice) when dining with friends.

The spicy pasta (spaghetti cooked al dente and smothered in a spicy arrabiata-laced cream sauce with slices of Kenny’s spicy roast chicken).

Kenny Roger’s also offers yogurt smoothies, a combination of real fruit and the unique taste of   yogurt, available in mango, strawberry, grape and banana flavors.
