(YUM), said in a press release that Beyond Fried Chicken is “packed with delicious flavor and the juicy satisfaction that you’d expect from KFC’s iconic fried chicken.” The new product is for customers “that want to eat a little less animal-based protein, but that haven’t become vegan or vegetarian,” Hochman said.īeyond Fried Chicken goes on sale January 10 across the United States.īeyond Fried Chicken can be ordered in a combo meal that includes a medium drink and fries or à la carte in six- or 12-piece portions.

It marks the first instance of a large national chain selling plant-based chicken products rather than the hamburger or sausage alternatives that have become increasingly common, the chain said. The new plant-based fried chicken nugget alternative, called Beyond Fried Chicken, will be added to menus nationwide beginning Monday, Jan. Stick to what you're good at, Colonel.Kentucky Fried Chicken is going to sell a new menu item that contains no chicken - but tastes like it does. Verdict: 2/10, one point for the fried chicken and one for desserts. The quality was questionable, and most dishes had gone cold long before I arrived. But so much of the food on offer was just not good. And 6 plates of food and out in an hour isn't bad going. Sure, I reckon I got close to my money's worth with how much I ate. What we'd call 'hitokuchi' over here, literally bite-sized. I got to try bread pudding, mango mousse, strawberry cake, and some kind of sweet tofu pudding. A chance for KFC to redeem itself, because I love me some sweet sweets.

But I was getting full by this point, so it was time for dessert. The regret at not just loading up with fried chicken was starting to sink in.

The bits of onion and carrot in the coleslaw were so small that I could probably have eaten it through a straw.

But it had been blended to within an inch of its life. The salad bar included coleslaw, something I did recognise from home. What wouldn't have dried up? Maybe some salad? I had to put KETCHUP on the rice to be able to eat it. No seafood, no spices, no veggies, no taste. It was dry rice with one piece of chorizo in it. And after this experience, I reckon I still haven't. Chicken nuggets? This isn't McDonalds, hell no. Time to start selectively eliminating things I didn't want to eat. Half an hour in, I was 2 plates down and unsatisfied with my choices. The other was a medley of soggy pepper and aubergine, drowning in a tin of chopped tomatoes. The soup had maybe had an onion waved at it while it was boiling, no more than that. To go with the chicken, I picked out onion soup and some kind of tomato-y thing. At least the fried chicken coating has those herbs and spices nobody can name. Both were nice, juicy bits of chicken, but with no real flavour to them.

There were other chicken options: plain roast chicken, and drumsticks (yay!) in some kind of soup. I spotted 'prawn gratin', and went in with a spoon. Thinking about how long some of that food had been out makes me uncomfortable.Īfter that, it was time to try some things you wouldn't typically find at KFC. I also picked up a portion of fries and a piece of garlic bread. Instead, there were 'biscuits' available, which looked suspiciously like scones and came with maple syrup. I headed straight for that KFC chicken on my first plate - why not? When I got to the counter, I was annoyed to discover there were no drumsticks on offer. So I went in determined to get my money's worth.Īlongside the recognisable fried chicken, the buffet options include roast chicken, bread, pasta, salad, and 14 desserts. I don't think I've ever paid that much for an all-you-can-eat before. Which, now that the pound's value is in freefall, is £20.50 (as of July 2016).
