Coles has announced a major new flavor for its famous hot roast chickens – and it’s sure to be a hit with KFC fans. For the first time, the supermarket giant will release a Southern Style version of the family favorite.
Coles tells 7Life it “wanted to create a tasty and tangy flavor” to build on its “best-selling” roast chooks.
“As the weather is cooling down, Aussies want comforting and hearty meals that are easy to prepare but won’t break the bank,” a spokesman said.
“With a smokey buttermilk marinade and herby stuffing, our Southern Style hot roast chicken is delicious when paired with traditional BBQ-style sides or even a simple green salad and potatoes.”
The new flavour adds to the existing range of Southern Style products, which includes the Southern Fried Chicken Portions.
They are prepared with a buttermilk marinade, complete with a “flavor-packed” Southern-inspired stuffing including onion, garlic and a secret blend of herbs and spices.
The Southern Style inspired Hot Roast Chicken, $13, is now available at all Coles stores nationwide.
