KFC has launched a hybrid pizza chicken wing that is being featured on menus across Japan. This combination of two classic dishes is a beautiful collaboration that is sure to satisfy any savory craving imaginable.

This amazing new menu option is not just a pizza-flavored wing; the chicken wing is essentially a small pizza. The main ingredient of the pizza chicken wing is cheese. There are two types of cheese used -- mozzarella and cheddar, which make this melted wing a cheese-lover's delight.

The newest menu item is available on its own or you can make it into a chicken bucket combo and satisfy the whole family or a group of friends with this interesting meal. You never have to debate ordering pizza or wings again because this glorious hybrid is both.
