Ready to try KFC's new fried chicken and doughnut sandwich? Netizens are confused [VIDEOS]

After KFC broke the news, it has caused a firestorm among the netizens with many finding it difficult to accept the sweet and savoury combination

The world's most popular chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken, commonly known as KFC, is known for its crispy chicken sandwiches with over 23,000 restaurants in 140 countries.
On Thursday, February 20, KFC announced that the chain is all set to roll out a new fried chicken trend that had a limited test run in September 2019.

Have you ever thought about getting a sweet alternative to the popular KFC burgers? Surprising many people, the food chain is all set to introduce fried-chicken fillet sandwiched between two glazed doughnuts in its restaurants in the US. The company has announced that the sweet-and-savoury combination is available for $5.49 to $7.99 as a sandwich or in a meal basket from February 24 through March 16 or until supply runs out.

It is also understood that KFC will open a pop-up shop called The Colonel's (Chicken & Donuts Shop) on February 22 from 10 am to 3 pm in Los Angeles just for the day. The shop will only be serving the new item on the menu. The first 50 customers will receive a free Colonel's Dozen, a mix of six extra crispy chicken tenders and six doughnuts.

What's in the basket meal?

I didn't even notice that!! The chicken itself looks a whole lot better than anything I've ever got there. I'm also trying to figure out, who is making the donuts? I don't trust KFC with making donuts.
