Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts sandwich and basket coming to restaurants nationwide

KFC is bringing fried chicken and doughnuts to the masses.

After a successful pilot last fall in select Virginia and Pittsburgh restaurants, the Louisville-based fast-food chain announced Thursday that the limited-time Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts will be released starting Feb. 24 at participating restaurants nationwide.

Sweet and savory meals are available as a sandwich — a chicken fillet between two warm glazed donuts — or as a basket with choice of tenders or bone-in chicken with one or two donuts depending on the meal.

The sandwiches and baskets will be sold through March 16 or while supplies last with prices ranging from $5.49 to $7.99. Hot donuts also can be added to any meal.

“Chicken & Donuts is the newest fried chicken trend we’re bringing to all of America,” said Andrea Zahumensky, KFC U.S. chief marketing officer, in a statement. “But not just any donut would do. Only a donut that’s glazed-to-order and served piping hot every single time can stand next to our hand-breaded fried chicken.”

The chicken chain recently announced another new limited-item: KFC X Crocs Bucket Clogs, a low-to-the-ground pair of soles covered in a fried chicken print that comes with removable, chicken-scented Jibbitz charms so it can smell like the fried protein.
