Here's a breakdown of the menu:

Around the World: KFC Malaysia - New Goldenwrap Chicken

In Malaysia, KFC is offering new Goldenwrap Chicken. The unique thing about this new dish is it's wrapped in parchment paper and deep-fried according to this report.

The parchment paper is oil-proof, water-proof, and non-stick to seal in the juices (and presumably keep out the oil). The practice is used in baking, but I've never heard of it being fried (but I guess it would cook faster).
