I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about the fact that KFC sells all kinds of chicken but has never had an official chicken nugget selection on their menu. Weird huh?

It seems like they’re taking steps to remedy that situation though by introducing Kentucky Fried Nuggets to their menu. For some reason though they’re only going to be available for a limited time only at selected stores in Charlotte, North Carolina, so don’t bank on getting your hands on them any time soon unless you’re in the area.

Here’s what the press release had to say about it:

Made with 100 percent white meat and hand-breaded with KFC’s unique Original Recipe of 11 Herbs and Spices that made the fried chicken chain famous, the Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets can be enjoyed as a snack, meal on-the-go, complement to the bucket meal or even as an appetizer on the way home!

[…] Each juicy nugget is bursting with so much flavor it doesn’t require dipping, though that doesn’t mean you can’t dip them! The new nuggets can be paired with any of your favorite KFC sauces, including KFC Sauce, Honey BBQ, Classic Ranch or Honey Mustard.

You can buy 8, 12 or 36.

Huge. I know we’re all thinking that Popcorn Chicken is pretty similar to chicken nuggets, but these nuggets are different because it’s going to be the first time that the KFC iconic seasoning will be used on the nuggets.

It’s a big deal for the chain and apparently targeting Gen Z as they’re no longer interested in eating chicken off the bone. Losers.

Apparently if the trial goes well then the nuggets might actually replace the popcorn chicken. Not sure how I feel about that as I love the popcorn chicken, but I suppose we can give it a go. They do sound good.
