The rice itself was alright – definitely an accompaniment but a little bland when eaten without the chicken. The rice on the left was generously seasoned and very much more of the Mexican variety than Chinese rice, which probably fits better with the brand. No limp soggy brown leaves here, and I was impressed. On the right, the salad in the form of diced tomato, lettuce and other items was all very fresh. That said, once I tucked into it, it was certainly just as spicy as ever. The Zinger had been sliced to be more fork-friendly and oddly looked a little less red than usual. It was very neatly laid out with rice, sauce, salad and chicken. Opening it up I could see some pretty immaculate presentation – my rice box looked almost exactly like the marketing pics and we all know how rare that is. At under 500 calories it also represents a fairly light meal option on an otherwise fairly heavy menu. The light brown rice box looks neat, and it comes at a fair price. Perhaps I should try sprinkling it liberally on my Kit Kats…Īnyway, it was the Zinger Ricebox I chose because it’s the more interesting of the two, and those of you who know me know I hold the Zinger in special esteem among high street fast food. That’s odd as it suggests the addition of the spicy Zinger coating actually removes 10 calories rather than add anything. The rice boxes come in two varieties – Original Recipe or Zinger, with the latter containing 10 fewer calories. Today, I’m taste-testing the Zinger Ricebox. However, KFC have recently updated the packaging of their rice boxes and salads (although not the contents, I believe), and happening upon that news I felt it was about time to give it a go. Usually it’s a burger, or chicken pieces or both. I must admit, having a Ricebox or a salad at KFC would rarely cross my mind. One piece of our fiery Zinger® chicken with steamed Tex Mex rice, fresh lettuce, sweetcorn, chopped tomatoes and a bean salsa, drizzled with a light garlic dressing.
