New Smoky Kecap Manis Chicken and Sauce: That Sweet-savoury Taste You Know and Love, Now Deeper and Smokier
When familiarity is elevated… it just hits different. Many of us who grew up with kecap manis, an Indonesian sweet soy sauce, know that it’s LIFE. We put it on literally everything, and now KFC follows suit. Enter KFC’s latest limited time offering: its new Smoky Kecap Manis chicken, available from 25 February to 7 April 2026, coinciding with Ramadan.
On its own, kecap manis is an excellent and versatile condiment that we know and love. Hailing from Indonesia, premium variants of this nostalgic and everyday condiment feature high quality black soy beans carefully brewed with sugar, salt and water till thick and glossy. Its deep umami notes and syrupy consistency are perfect for many dishes we know and love, which include satay, gado-gado, nasi goreng, a marinade or a dipping sauce.
But it’s more than just slathering chicken with kecap manis sauce and calling it a day… no. KFC has just raised the bar; inspired by the growing trend of newstalgia flavours, this offering delivers a deep, smoky sweetness that feels both nostalgic and new.
Its special golden fried chicken is glazed in a luscious kecap manis reduction – sweet, sticky, and rich with caramelised soy – the perfect food romance that lingers fondly in your core memories. The sauce is lifted with a subtle smokiness, balancing its molasses-like sweetness with charred depth, and the chicken is topped with fragrant fried shallots and fresh green onions to complete this ultimate sensation that you’ll remember long after the last piece is gone. KFC’s rendition of this spicy kecap manis sauce is so addictive that you will keep coming back for more.
When Tradition Becomes Trendy
Fall hard for KFC’s new Smoky Kecap Manis, available in both chicken on bone and chicken bites that’s finger lickin’good. These will be available in both ala carte and as combos for one, or with a break fast buddy.
After tasting this bold, addictive indulgence, we’d want to have Smoky Kecap Manis sauce on everything. It’s so good that KFC makes this a reality, creating this irresistible innovation in a bottle – the new Smoky Kecap Manis Sauce Bottle ($6.95 each). This tasty sauce in a convenient, portable package lets fans bring the KFC hit wherever they go. It’s perfect for dipping, drizzling, or elevating their everyday meals.
Spicing this up is the vibrant and eye-catching design of the Smoky Kecap Manis Sauce Bottle, the work of Aida Sa’ad, also known as Yellow Mushmellow (@yellowmushmellow). The multidisciplinary visual artist’s quirky and fun style is inspired by her two sisters with special needs, as well as her ability to see magic in everyday things.
The Smoky Kecap Manis Sauce Bottle showcases a joyful reunion of two people brought together by their shared love for KFC’s chicken in a bucket. More than that, Aida’s design brings forth the whimsical with the cheery yellow background, streaks of sauce flowing through, and the celebratory air of sparklers and music.
