Behold, KFC’s New Cheetos Chicken Sandwich

February 6, 2019

Dads and fans of weird-but-probably-tasty food mashups everywhere, rejoice!

KFC, the chain that never shies away from asking the tough questions such as, “What if bread was made out of fried chicken?” has come through with the next phase of food we didn’t know we needed until this very moment. Behold! The Cheetos Sandwich!

What you see above you is a new crunchy, cheesy entry for the American Heart Associations list of “foods that you should definitely not be eating.” The mad scientists at KFC take an Extra Crispy Chicken Filet, coat it in a Cheetos sauce (a term that never existed until now, and the world is better for it) and adds actual Cheetos for good, crunchy measure. Oh, also there’s mayonnaise, because why not.

While the sandwich is only being tested in a few markets, we expect this to roll out nationwide at some point in 2019. Will dads order it? Absolutely. Will they make a point not to bring up that fact during their annual physical? Oh, of course. Will it be delicious? We have no way of knowing, but almost assuredly the answer is “um, it’s Cheetos and fried chicken.”
