The Knorr All-in-One Crispy Challenge brought together media and renowned chef KOLs, Chef Rosebud, Chef Boy Logro and Ninong Ry.

MANILA, Philippines — Imagine a kitchen where competition meets creativity, and where fried chicken isn’t just food, it’s at the heart of a culinary challenge.

That’s exactly what Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) brought to Whitespace Manila last January 28: a first-of-its-kind live game show event, the All-in-One Crispy Challenge, with the newest UFS product, Knorr Crispy Breading Mix, as the star of the show. 

For culinary professionals, the event offered a unique opportunity to see the new product in action, demonstrating practical solutions that while streamlining prep time and optimizing costs ensures consistent crispiness.

Hosted by popular food creators Ninong Ry and Vanna Reyes, the event promised to be a high-energy, playful experience where influencers, friends from the media and chefs went head-to-head in kitchen-inspired mini games.

The twist? Each challenge was inspired by the core benefits of UFS’s newest product, Knorr Crispy Breading Mix: Madali, Matipid and Malutong.

For participants, it was more than just fun. They got a first-hand look at the realities of running a food business balancing taste, time and cost while also discovering how Knorr Professional Crispy Breading Mix helps simplify operations and deliver consistently crispy chicken.

“To build a strong food business, operators need to manage costs, elevate their dishes, and work efficiently without spending all their time on prep,” said UFS country executive chef Kenneth Cacho.

“We know the significant effort that chefs put in to perfect their fried chicken recipes. Knorr Crispy Breading Mix removes the guesswork and tedious preparation steps, so that chefs can focus on creating and serving delicious dishes to their clientele. With Knorr Crispy Breading Mix, we help make their operations madali, matipid and ensure their fried dishes stay malutong.”

UFS country executive chef Kenneth Cacho demonstrates how quick and easy it is to prepare fried chicken using Knorr Professional Crispy Breading Mix, as Ninong Ry looks on.

The All-in-One Crispy Challenge was designed to be interactive, encouraging participants to experiment, create and compete, all while experiencing how the new product can make kitchen operations smoother and more consistent.

“We want our creators and media partners to really see and feel how our newest product makes life easier for food operators. With Knorr Professional Crispy Breading Mix, there’s no need for multiple ingredients or eggs just add water and you get consistently crispy chicken every time,” Cacho adds.

For Eduardo Jos, UFS Philippines food research and development manager, the launch reflected the brand’s ongoing commitment to food operators nationwide. “Knorr Crispy Breading Mix helps operators work faster, manage costs better and achieve the crispiness their customers love. At UFS, we are with our operators every step of the way to help them succeed and deliver consistent quality fried dishes.”

Through a fun game show-style launch, UFS not only showcased its newest product but also highlighted the fun, creativity, and practicality behind running a food business. The All-in-One Crispy Challenge inspired food operators, encouraged trial, and made efficiency and quality a little more exciting one crispy dish at a time.
