Heavyweight Cheese Chicken Thigh Burger
A chicken thigh burger loaded with cheese; the Chinese name, 重磅起司雞腿堡, calls the cheese “heavyweight”. Thigh meat, darker and juicier than breast, runs through several Dicos burgers, and here it gets the cheese treatment for a richer burger than the plain crispy one.

About Dicos
Dicos opened in Chengdu, Sichuan, in 1994, and its Chinese name, 德克士, is a nod to Texas: the chain presents its fried chicken as a Texas-style recipe adapted to Chinese tastes. In 1996 it was bought by the Taiwanese Ting Hsin group, the company behind Master Kong instant noodles, which put 50 million US dollars into rebuilding the brand. It now counts more than 3,000 restaurants and is one of the three biggest Western-style fast-food chains in China, next to KFC and McDonald’s.
More than 3,000 restaurants, almost all in mainland China, plus a few in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
