KFC Tests Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts

Similar to how they previously offered Kentucky Fried Chicken & Waffles, KFC is now looking into offering Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts , including a Chicken & Donuts Sandwich,with a limited-time test in the Norfolk/Richmond, VA and Pittsburgh, PA areas.

The pairing sees the chain's fried chicken served with a fresh glazed donut (or two). There are several options as far as the donuts go:

- Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donut Basket meal - A choice of fried chicken on the bone or chicken tenders, paired with a donut for $5.49. You can also opt for a big basket meal with two donuts for $7.49.

- Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Sandwich - An Extra Crispy chicken filet (the same as on the Crispy Colonel) sandwiched between two glazed donuts for $5.99. It's also available as a combo meal with a side and a drink for $7.99.

There's also the option to add a donut to any meal for $1.

The sweet and savory pairing of the Chicken & Donuts Sandwich is not without precedent and is similar in concept to the Luther Burger (also known as a donut burger), which is a hamburger or cheeseburger with one or more glazed donuts in place of the traditional bun. It enjoys a degree of popularity at some state or county fairs.
