Japan’s KFC: A Completely Different Chicken

Last Christmas, a British media outlet posted an article saying that “Japanese people celebrate Christmas by eating KFC fried chicken,”
which went viral. The tone felt somewhat mocking toward Japanese people, and it is wrong to say that KFC represents the Japanese way of celebrating Christmas. It is simply one of the dishes some families enjoy.
Furthermore, what I recently learned is that KFC Japan’s chicken is completely different from KFC US and UK. In Japan, chickens are raised on herb‑based feed in a freer environment, resulting in firmer, more aromatic meat that is not watery. In contrast, the U.S. and UK uses broiler chickens raised in a short period, which often leads to watery and oily meat from stressed birds. Oil management is also much stricter in Japan, while in the U.S. the quality and temperature control of frying oil vary greatly by store, often making the chicken greasier.
KFC Japan’s founder said in his biography that the U.S. headquarters once pushed Japan to adopt an efficiency‑first, profit‑maximization approach. However, he firmly refused and protected Japan's quality standards. Knowing this background, it makes perfect sense that KFC Japan can be considered a proper Christmas dish. Now I feel like going to the nearby KFC for the first time in months.
