KFC Starts Selling Fried Chicken Skin
By Michael Hollan | Fox News
People looking to enjoy the taste
of KFC's fried chicken skin can get the tasty skin without having to deal with all of that leftover chicken meat.
Various interna- tional locations are starting to sell bags of fried chicken skins. People have often joked about only wanting to eat the skin off of the famous fried chicken, and now KFC is making that dream a reality (for certain parts of the world).
The unusual menu item was first announced on the KFC Indonesia Twitter page. According to a translation of
the post, the item was set to appear at six KFC locations in Indonesia; Salemba, Cideng, Kemang, Kalimalang and Kelapa Gading.
Initially, it seemed as fried chicken skin would be added to the list of inter- national fast food
menu items limit- ed to a single region.
Then, several foo d blogs on Facebook announced that KFCs in Thailand were also carry- ing fried chicken skin. Based on replies to the posts, it appears that the item is available at loca- tions in Bangkok.
Customers who had the chance to try to skins described it as “salty” and “dif- ferent from what you’d
expect,” The Sun reports. Apparently, many of the venues selling it have sold out due to high demand.
KFC previously introduced a sim- ilar item in the Philippines in February, when they added Cracklings to their menu.
A KFC global spokesperson told Fox News, "This is a test product flavored with Zabb sea- soning, a KFC
Thailand fan favorite, and is available at select stores across Thailand. Where available, you can try it in two sizes- an individual serving for 49 THB or a larger, sharing portion for 139 THB."
While there’s no word on whether or not the fried chicken skins will come to locations worldwide, the company has been making updates to their menu. For Mother’s Day, they introduced a limited-time-only dessert biscuit. The Cinnabon Dessert Biscuit combines the classic KFC bis- cuit with a cinna- mon and brown sugar glaze, as well as signature Cinnabon cream cheese frosting.
