KFC Tests Plant-Based Fried Chicken Made With Beyond Meat’s Fake Meat | Eater
"At a single Smyrna, Georgia location northwest of Atlanta, the restaurant is testing Beyond Fried Chicken — a plant-based fried “poultry” product developed in partnership with Beyond Meat — offered as nuggets or boneless wings. The limited rollout is being used to gauge demand before deciding whether to expand or launch the item nationwide, and represents the first time a national quick-service chain has introduced plant-based chicken in the U.S. The product is positioned as an alternative to traditional fried chicken, aiming to replicate the seasoned, dredged, deep-fried experience while appealing to diners seeking plant-based options amid the recent fast-food chicken sandwich hoopla." - Jenny G.
