KFC are bringing back their cult Zinger Mozzarella Burger three years after debut

KFC's cheesiest cult menu item has returned to menus after a three-year hiatus.

The fan-favourite Zinger Mozzarella Burger is back, featuring a Zinger chicken fillet, stringy mozzarella patty coated in Zinger spices, crispy bacon, lettuce, tangy tomato sauce and mayonnaise.

The limited-edition burger first debuted in 2017, and quickly won over fans with its decadent cheesy patty, hailed as a "hangover cure".

Kristi Woolrych, CMO at KFC Australia, said the cheesy menu item was a way for fans to "level up" on the classic Zinger Burger, and based on its previous popularity she predicts fans will "go wild" for it again.

"We're excited to bring back the Zinger Mozzarella Burger after it rose to fame during 2017," she said in a statement.
