  • So, KFC has just announced that they are gonna up the ante in the chicken-sandwich war by offering a fried-chicken-and-doughnut sandwich.

  • And it's only available in limited markets: Virginia and Pittsburgh.

  • I'm just outside Richmond, in Powhatan, Virginia, at this KFC-Taco Bell combo, and I'm gonna give it a try.

  • Could I get one fried-chicken-doughnut sandwich?

  • So, I was not allowed to film inside.

  • But I got a bunch of these sandwiches.

  • So I'm gonna take them away from the store and give them a try.

  • OK, I'm very excited to check this out.

  • "Think of this as a tiny treasure chest filled with CHICKEN TREASURES." - Col. Harland Sanders.

  • I am a KFC guy.

  • There is nothing better to me than the idea of just a bucket of KFC.

  • I want to like this.

  • In terms of doughnuts, Krispy Kreme is the only doughnut that I recognize as worthy of being called a doughnut.

  • That's really gonna be the big test here.

  • So, let's get into it!

  • Wow, so that's a big doughnut.

  • Just gonna take it out.

  • It's so messy.

  • It's a beautiful piece of fried chicken in between two glazed doughnuts.

  • And these are looking more like Dunkin' Donuts.

  • These are way more bready than Krispy Kreme, which is my favorite.

  • So, I'm just gonna get right into it!

  • Oh man, I like it.

  • I gotta tell you, I was worried about this.

  • But I really like what's going on right now.

  • The chicken is thick. It's juicy, succulent.

  • I'm usually not that big of a fan of sweet and savory.

  • When I first bit into it, I was like, oh boy, there's the doughnut, and all I taste is doughnut.

  • But then, very quickly, after the first bite, that chicken kicked in.

  • One concern here: I've got a lot of, like, overhanging doughnut.

  • There might be a little too much doughnut in this sandwich.

  • Maybe the chicken patty should've been a little bigger.

  • We have a lot of excess doughnut flop going on.

  • There don't appear to be any other ingredients in this.

  • And the simplicity of it is pretty intriguing.

  • There's no weird syrup or chipotle, mayo or anything like that.

  • That was a pleasant surprise.

  • I really enjoyed that, but I feel, like, sort of irresponsible to ingest that many calories.

  • Despite how fun it is...

  • But, for like a one-off, I think that people should give this a try, especially late at night.

  • Hopefully the rest of the country gets a chance to experience what I just had.

  • The Colonel kicked it up a notch.

  • KFC, old franchise willing to take new chances, new risks.

  • I'm gonna lay down and take a nap.

  • Because I'm going into this weird chicken-doughnut coma, where I'm kinda hopped up on the sugar, but I'm also tired from just the overall consumption levels.

  • I don't know what I'm feeling, but it feels good.
