At Favorite Chicken, we’re always pushing flavour forward. From fiery heat to rich, savoury sauces, we know our customers love something exciting on the menu. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our brand-new Katsu sauce — a bold, comforting and seriously craveable flavour that’s now landing across three brand-new menu items.

Inspired by classic Japanese-style curry flavours and crafted to pair perfectly with crispy chicken, our Katsu sauce delivers deep flavour without overpowering the bite. Smooth, rich and full of warmth, it’s the latest limited-time addition to the Favorite Chicken menu — and it’s already making waves.

Why Katsu? 

Katsu flavour has exploded in popularity across the UK, loved for its rich curry profile, gentle spice and comforting taste. It’s bold without being overpowering, making it the perfect match for crispy chicken. At Favorite Chicken, we’ve developed our own signature Katsu sauce, designed to coat our chicken perfectly while letting the crunch and quality shine through.

And because one way just wasn’t enough, we’ve rolled it out across multiple formats, so you can enjoy Katsu your way.

Katsu Rappa – Big Crunch, Big Flavour

First up is the Katsu Rappa, a standalone hero item that puts flavour front and centre. Featuring our crispy Rappa chicken fillet, cooked golden and coated generously in rich Katsu sauce, this dish delivers a perfect balance of crunch, warmth and depth of flavour.

It’s ideal for when you want something bold and satisfying without the extras — pure chicken, pure Katsu, pure flavour. Whether as a snack or paired with sides, the Katsu Rappa is a must-try for curry lovers.

Katsu Rappa Meal – The Complete Comfort Combo

For those who want the full experience, the Katsu Rappa Meal takes everything you love about the standalone Rappa and turns it into a complete, filling meal.

The crispy Katsu-coated Rappa is served alongside:

  • Favorite McCain SureCrisp Fries 
  • Achoice of tub side or canned drink

It’s the perfect lunch or dinner option, combining comforting flavours with classic favourites. Rich, warming and packed with taste, this meal proves that Katsu is more than just a trend.

Katsu Poppa Pot – Loaded, Saucy and Seriously MORE-ISH

If bite-sized chicken is more your thing, the Katsu Poppa Pot delivers big flavour in every mouthful. Our popular Poppas — crispy, juicy chicken bites — are drenched in smooth Katsu sauce, creating a loaded pot that’s perfect for sharing, snacking, or enjoying all to yourself.

This is comfort food done the Favorite Chicken way: bold, saucy and impossible to put down. It’s a great option if you want maximum Katsu flavour without going for a burger or wrap.

Three Ways to Enjoy Katsu – One Incredible Flavour

  • Katsu Rappa – pure chicken, pure flavour
