Japanese burger outlet combines fried chicken with strawberries and cream

Tokyo's Lucky Rocky Chicken, which specializes in buttermilk fried chicken, is offering a fried chicken burger with strawberry jam, and buttermilk sauce called the Strawberry & Cream Burger.

The fast-food outlet makes its buttermilk fried chicken by soaking fillets in a mixture of yogurt and buttermilk overnight to create a moist and tender texture.

The buns are light and glossy, in contrast to the giant crunch of the chicken to create a delightful chewiness.

The strawberry jam with the buttermilk sauce, which tastes just like cream, provides sweet flavors to the spiciness of the fried chicken.

Lucky Rocky Chicken, located at the eastern end of Musashi Koyama’s Palm Shopping Street, is operated by Royal Holdings, which operates big-name restaurants like Shakey’s, and Saizeriya in Japan.

Since opening, Lucky Rocky Chicken has become incredibly popular, causing a buzz online and even receiving mentions on TV variety programs for its special fried chicken.

Now, the Strawberry & Cream Burger, which costs 480 yen (US$4.15) on its own or 780 yen for a set that includes fries and a drink, is set to cause even more of a buzz for Lucky Rocky Chicken.
