After a successful test run last fall, KFC is bringing its infamous Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts to customers nationwide.
Starting on February 24, 2020, Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts will be available at participating locations nationwide for a limited time. The new Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts will feature the chain's signature fried chicken and warm, freshly glazed donuts. The sweet and savory pairing will be available in a number of different formats, such as the Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Basket meal. Customers can also opt for the Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Sandwich, which sandwiches a hand-breaded Extra Crispy chicken filet between two donuts.
To celebrate the new launch, the chain has even launched a pop-up donut shop called The Colonel’s (Chicken &) Donut Shop in Los Angeles.
