Default KFC fail?

Looking at the rest of yesterday's newspaper this morning, I
saw a picture and a short caption. No other follow-up story.

Caption:
"In September, KFC debuted a chicken and doughnut sandwich.
It was only available in (my area), Richmond and Pittsburg."

Pictu Crispy chicken patty sandwiched between
2 glazed doughnuts

Me: oh man, really?

This link tells a bit mo
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...and-delicious/

I won't be trying one of those any time soon. ;-D

KFC is pre-failed, even without the doughnuts.

Even my local fried chicken joint has lost my custom; their new
cole slaw recipe is way too sweet.

One of these days I'll try the Koreans:

Rumor has it they're now the best in town.

Fried chicken-scented fireplace logs from KFC are back:

In 2018, the logs sold out quickly, KFC said.

IMHO, anything with glazed doughnuts is a fail. Then again, I'm not a
fan of doughnuts in any form. I certainly wouldn't eat chicken on one.

Chicken and waffles is a thing, so I suppose that chicken and doughnuts is
a followup. I ate chicken and waffles at KFC, but the waffles were
uninspired. Maybe, someday, Ill get a real good chicken and waffles
meal.
I dont want to do it on my own. I dont own a waffle iron, and the
chicken is supposed to be deep fried. I havent deep fried chicken in
forty years, if ever. Thats what chicken joints line KFC are for.

My favorite KFC thing is about once every 5 years.
I buy two each time. The 2-piece dinners.

2 piece orginal (always thigh and drum)
One small side and a biscuit

One I buy with mashed potatoes and gravy.
The other I get their cole slaw.

First meal is 2 thighs, mashed potatoes and gravy,
the cole slaw with biscuit.

2nd meal is the 2 drums with a biscuit.

Good stuff~

I inherited a waffle iron that is circa 1950's. I don't make waffles.
It baffles me. But hey, I don't make fried chicken. That, I have done
and won't do again. The idea of fried chicken and waffles is something
I've heard of in the last decade or so. Doesn't interest me. Same with
glazed doughnuts as part of a fried chicken sandwich. Nope, no thanks.

Leo, I gather you're not going to KFC nor will you try this at home.

Interesting. Are there more things you don't like to eat? RFC wants to
know.

My mother had a waffle iron and made them occasionally. We have a waffle
iron and make them once every month or two. Fried chicken and waffles
is something I only heard about a few years ago and it sounded disgusting.

A few years ago my son took a scenic tour from here to Montreal by way
of New York state and planned to spend a night in Saratoga Springs where
he wanted to go to a place that was famous for fried chickens and
waffles. I made the mistake of questioning that, and when he got back he
said that it had been a major disappointment.

The thought of eating KFC is enough to make my stomach do a bit of a flip.

steak and some sausage gravy over the whole thing.

First and only time I had them was close to 20 years ago.

It was a disappointment for me as well and this was in someone's home,
not a restaurant. I've never been tempted to try this combination again.

If the waffles aren't sweetened and maple syrup is not involved, I don't
see why chicken and waffles would be much different from fried chicken and
any other carb.

What baffles you? That you don't make waffles?

The ancient waffle iron. I can't tell when the waffles are done.

While channel-hopping, I caught the beginning of one of those awful
"restaurant visit" programs on some foody channel last night. It
specialized in chicken and waffles and after a few seconds mentioned one
favourite - Red velvet waffles. The whole concept was pukeworthy and I
switched channels quickly.

UGH! That does sound pukeworthy. The one and only time I had this dish
of chicken and waffles powdered sugar was involved. UGH again.

I think they do things like that just for the publicity. Anything that
gets you in the news is good. Sounds like it would be sloppy eating
though.
