To mark the onset of winter in New Zealand, KFC has introduced a new pie to the menu.
The KFC pie is filled with chicken, KFC's signature potato and gravy and the Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices, and is encased in a golden pastry.
"We Kiwis love our pies, they're a national icon," said Brent Kitto, KFC general manager. "So KFC is very excited to be launching a KFC Pie, a Kiwi icon in the making."
He said the company had been working on the pie for "some time" after research showed customers wanted something that was easy to eat on the go.
Retailing at $4.50 and $6.50 for a pie and regular Krusher combo, the pie will be available at all KFC stores nationwide starting June 5 while supplies last.
