Japanese convenience store chain Lawson is once again releasing special chicken products for the Christmas season. Starting Tuesday, December 2, 2025, the perennially popular “Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Flavor” will make its annual return, and this year it’s joined by a new spicy addition: “Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Red Flavor.”
In Japan, eating fried chicken for Christmas has become a well-established custom. Convenient and delicious chicken from convenience stores helps brighten up the Christmas dinner table. Lawson’s signature bite-sized fried chicken, “Karaage-kun,” is now available in a special flavor just for this season.
Compare the Two Types of “Karaage-kun”!
Now in its third year, the “Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Flavor” is a popular item that’s becoming a Christmas staple. With the addition of the spicy and savory “Golden Chicken Red Flavor” this year, you might have a hard time choosing. Be sure to try both and find your favorite.
Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Flavor
“Golden Chicken” is Lawson’s authentic bone-in fried chicken, made with 10 different spices and herbs. This “Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Flavor” was developed to allow customers to enjoy that gorgeous flavor in a bite-sized form. It’s a special flavor born from the desire for people to enjoy Karaage-kun during Christmas.
It will be released on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at Lawson stores all across Japan, priced at 298 yen (tax included). Please note that it is not available at Natural Lawson stores.
Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Red Flavor
Making its debut this year, the “Karaage-kun Golden Chicken Red Flavor” is a masterpiece that keeps the rich aroma and savory taste of the Golden Chicken while adding a stimulating spiciness. According to the developers, the biggest challenge was adding the heat without compromising the flavor of the spices and herbs. You can enjoy an appetizing “spicy-savory” taste that’s perfect for Christmas.
This flavor also launches on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, for 298 yen (tax included). It should be noted that this product is inspired by the flavor of “Golden Chicken Red,” and an actual bone-in chicken product called “Golden Chicken Red” is not being sold.
A Full Lineup of Authentic Bone-in and Japanese-Style Chicken
Beyond Karaage-kun, Lawson has prepared a variety of chicken types for Christmas.
Golden Chicken (Bone-in)
This is the “Golden Chicken” that inspired the Karaage-kun flavor. It’s an authentic bone-in fried chicken featuring a thin, crispy coating on the outside and a juicy inside. Its rich flavor comes from a blend of 10 different spices and herbs. The price is 348 yen (tax included).
Charcoal-Grilled Chicken (Boneless)
If you’re craving a fragrant Japanese taste, this Japanese-style chicken is highly recommended. It’s slow-grilled over Binchotan charcoal and finished with a sauce based on two types of soy sauce and mirin (a sweet cooking wine). Another great point is that it’s boneless and easy to eat. The price is 248 yen (tax included).
Charcoal-Grilled Roasted Leg
If you’re looking for something hearty, the “Charcoal-Grilled Roasted Leg” is the top choice. A young chicken leg is fragrantly grilled over Binchotan charcoal, resulting in a moist and juicy texture. It’s a piece that could be the star of any party. The price is 518 yen (tax included).
That Famous Flavor, Now in Potato Chip Form!
The deliciousness of Lawson’s “Golden Chicken” doesn’t stop with chicken. In collaboration with major Japanese snack manufacturer Calbee, “Potato Chips Golden Chicken Flavor” will also be released at the same time. You can now enjoy that signature taste of spices and herbs in a potato chip. They might make a perfect souvenir. The price is 268 yen (tax included).
