KFC launches a calorie bomb of epic proportions

KFC is on a roll. Recently, there was the launch of the KFC Crocs (with chicken nuggets on top!), and now there’s the sweet-and-savory snack: Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts in a basket

Snack attack = heart attack

Donuts? Bring them on! And a crispy piece of chicken goes down pretty well too. But a combination of the two? Just looking at it makes me seriously worry about my arteries…

Not so in the United States. They absolutely love it there; the combination of fried chicken between two donuts is quite successful.

Two varieties of Chicken & Donuts

Last year, KFC tested the calorie bomb of epic proportions, and it proved so successful that Chicken & Donuts is now available throughout the country. In two varieties, no less: two glazed donuts with a piece of (boneless) chicken between them, and a version in which the donut(s) and chicken are served separately. You can then choose fried chicken with a bone, or boneless chicken, served with one or two donuts.

Off to the US

Want to try it? Then you’ll have to travel to the US. For now, the chicken donut is only available in America. According to my cardiologist, that’s probably for the best.
