KFC launches fried chicken and doughnut sandwich nationwide

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WXIN) – KFC is offering a sweet alternative in the chicken sandwich war. The Colonel has cooked up a fried chicken and donut sandwich -- a fried chicken fillet sandwiched between two glazed donuts.

The sandwich will appear at restaurants beginning Feb. 24 and will be available through March 16th, or while supplies last, according to KFC.

"Chicken & Donuts is the newest fried chicken trend we're bringing to all of America," said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer at KFC U.S. Zahumensky says the donuts will be glazed-to-order.

KFC and donut fans can experience this sweet and savory meal in a variety of options starting at $5.49:

KFC will open a pop-up shop called "The Colonel's (Chicken &) Donuts Shop" for one day only in Los Angeles.
