The Three-Attractive Chicken Varieties on Sale
The three types of chicken featured in this sale each have their own unique character and appeal. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
Nana Chiki
“Nana Chiki” is the flagship fried chicken of 7-Eleven. Its most prominent feature is its deep flavor, created by a blend of 11 different spices.
The coating is crispy and light, and with one bite, juicy meat juices burst out from within. It uses the chicken drum (lower thigh) portion, which offers a firm yet tender texture. The aromatic flavor of the spices stimulates the appetite, and it’s sure to be addictive once you try it.
Age-dori
“Age-dori” is recommended for those who want to enjoy the simple, natural flavor of chicken. Its key characteristic is its thin, crispy coating.
The coating is intentionally made thin to allow you to experience the taste of the meat directly. The seasoning is very simple—just salt—giving it a gentle, timeless flavor. This makes it perfect not only as a main dish for a meal but also as a snack when you’re a little hungry.
Zaku Chiki (Alluring Umakara)
“Zaku Chiki (Alluring Umakara),” as its name suggests, is a fried chicken characterized by its “zaku-zaku” (extra-crunchy) texture. This unique texture is created by blending two types of breadcrumbs of different sizes.
The flavor is “umakara,” a fusion of savoriness (umami) and spiciness that creates an addictive taste. It starts with the saltiness of the coating, followed by the umami of soy sauce and oils, and finishes with the stimulating heat of spices. This calculated flavor gradient keeps you coming back for more.
The “secret to their deliciousness” is also introduced in this video.
This special sale only lasts for seven days. If you are in Japan, why not take this opportunity to try authentic Konbini fried chicken? It’s an excellent chance to experience a part of Japanese food culture easily and affordably.
