KFC is rolling out its viral fried-chicken-and-doughnut sandwich nationwide

KFC announced on Thursday that the chain is rolling out Chicken & Donuts nationwide.

The coveted and controversial item was first tested back in September 2019, causing a firestorm on Twitter. Business Insider's Hayley Peterson tried the sugary special during its limited test run, and she was impressed, concluding that the Chicken & Donuts sandwich was "near-perfect."



"Chicken & Donuts is the newest fried chicken trend we're bringing to all of America," Andrea Zahumensky, the chief marketing officer at KFC US, said in a press release. "It's a finger lickin' good dish filled with glaze and glory."

The sweet-and-savory combination is available in two forms: sandwich and basket. The sandwich features a fillet of boneless fried chicken sandwiched between two fresh glazed doughnuts. The basket contains a deconstructed version of the sandwich, with boneless or bone-in chicken and one or two doughnuts.

I'd like to send 10 of these to the White House every day until November, please. Don't forget the XL Coke and I think they have those Lava Cakes? Send a couple of those, too.

On a side note...WTAF? How can someone put that crap in their body?

However, I'd try one of these - a concha burger. Conchas are Mexican pastries/sweet bread with a crunchy icing topping on top.

Is destroying lives , driving up healthcare costs, and dooming our children.

Too many Dems are corporate-gullible on the added-sugar food. Industry.
