We just love the refreshing aroma of incense sticks. Jasmine, sandalwood and more, we find a wide variety of incense stick options in the market. And most of us experiment with them a lot. But have you ever considered trying out a food-flavoured incense stick? You heard us. Reportedly, fast food chain KFC is coming up with incense sticks that smell like fried chicken. According to Oddity Central, KFC Thailand has teamed up with several perfume experts to launch the line of fried chicken incense sticks during the Chinese Lunar New Year. KFC Thailand further claims that they could replicate the aroma of Colonel Sander’s secret 11 herbs and spices in the sticks. These incense sticks not only smell like fried chicken but also look edible. Sounds both interesting and bizarre at the same time; isn’t it?

A report on Thailand’s news portal Thaiger further reads that KFC Thailand took to Instagram to share a (now-deleted) video featuring the packaging of the incense sticks. The incense sticks resemble drumsticks and are packaged in a KFC signature red-and-white box.
However, these incense sticks are not for sale. Oddity Central reports that this exclusive product can be won through a raffle conducted on the Facebook page of KFC Thailand. “Participants have to comment on the Facebook page of KFC Thailand for the chance to win one of 100 prizes of 32.000 baht and a box of fried chicken incense sticks,” the report reads.
Madam Ho Ching, the wife of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, took to her Facebook page to post about the fried chicken-flavoured incense sticks.
