The KFC Bacon Lovers Sandwich is a new menu item arriving at the QSR brand's Canada locations to offer patrons a satisfying sandwich that doesn't skimp when it comes to indulgent ingredients. The sandwich starts off with a buttermilk-marinated extra crispy chicken fillet that has been hand-breaded before being layered with four crispy strips of bacon. The sandwich is then finished with Canadian Monterey Jack Cheese and a creamy baconnaise, all served on a potato bun.
