'Pick, Pop, Dip, Strip': KFC's new ad showcases easy eating ritual of boneless chicken

New Delhi: In a new campaign, KFC shows how one can effortlessly indulge their chicken cravings with the good Boneless range. 

In fact, with an easy eating ritual of “Pick, Pop, Dip, Strip”, chicken lovers can soch less and just enjoy their favourite chicken. 

Aparna Bhawal, CMO, KFC India & Partner Countries, said, "KFC’s Boneless range is a hot seller, loved by hardcore chicken fans for its finger lickin’ good crunch and by new consumers for its ease of eating. In fact, it’s often the first pick for those trying KFC for the first time. Perfect for any occasion, any age group and group size, the range delivers effortless indulgence, offering both physical and mental ease of eating. Our new campaign film brings this to life with a fun & creative ritual—snacking on KFC’s Boneless Chicken Strips and Chicken Popcorn is as easy as ‘Pick, Pop, Dip, Strip’. The Boneless range is so effortless and irresistible that once you start, there’s no stopping"

In the film, two friends are seen at a KFC restaurant where one is enjoying a hot, steaming portion of Boneless Chicken Strips, while the other is indulging in Chicken Popcorn. Then, the girl begins to PICK her crispy chicken and POP it into her mouth, while her friend dunks her piece into the DIP and takes a bite of the STRIP, as the tangy sauces drip. 

Soon enough, the duo are lost in the irresistible and EPIC taste of KFC’s Boneless range. They can’t help but PICK, POP, DIP, and STRIP on a loop, satisfying all their crunchy chicken cravings. In fact, for a few seconds, consumers are left wondering if the film is glitching because the girls seem to “Pick, Pop, Dip, Strip” on loop!

Anusheela Saha - National Creative Director and Head of Design, FCB India, “KFC is launching their Boneless Range and we saw an opportunity to play with a new ritual of eating – almost like teaching consumers the ease of eating KFC Boneless! And what’s better than a repetitive ritual? Especially when it’s a new range! And that’s when we thought of the EPIC Loop! Interestingly edited, the ad makes it really tough to know whether the output is a glitch or the loop is created intentionally. Have fun watching it…and eating on loop.”

Udayan Chakravarty - National Creative Director, FCB India, “How we consume chicken popcorn and strips collided into how we consume content to give us a hot take on bringing this one to life. If you’ve ever had a bite of KFC boneless, you’ll know that there’s no way you can stop at a single bite. Between the pick and the dip and the journey to the lip, it’s an epic loop you’ll love being stuck in - and we used that as the creative device to take the story to town - capturing not only product and consumer but also the viewer in it.”

The campaign will run on TV and digital platforms, along with a robust 360-degree plan.
