Looking at the rest of yesterday's newspaper this morning, I
saw a picture and a short caption. No other follow-up story.

Caption:
"In September, KFC debuted a chicken and doughnut sandwich.
It was only available in (my area), Richmond and Pittsburg."

Pictu Crispy chicken patty sandwiched between
2 glazed doughnuts

Me: oh man, really?

I won't be trying one of those any time soon. ;-D

KFC is pre-failed, even without the doughnuts.

Even my local fried chicken joint has lost my custom; their new
cole slaw recipe is way too sweet.

One of these days I'll try the Koreans:

Rumor has it they're now the best in town.

Fried chicken-scented fireplace logs from KFC are back:

In 2018, the logs sold out quickly, KFC said.

IMHO, anything with glazed doughnuts is a fail. Then again, I'm not a
fan of doughnuts in any form. I certainly wouldn't eat chicken on one.

I think they do things like that just for the publicity. Anything that
gets you in the news is good. Sounds like it would be sloppy eating
though.

Chicken and waffles is a thing, so I suppose that chicken and doughnuts is
a followup. I ate chicken and waffles at KFC, but the waffles were
uninspired. Maybe, someday, Ill get a real good chicken and waffles
meal.
I dont want to do it on my own. I dont own a waffle iron, and the
chicken is supposed to be deep fried. I havent deep fried chicken in
forty years, if ever. Thats what chicken joints line KFC are for.

My favorite KFC thing is about once every 5 years.
I buy two each time. The 2-piece dinners.

2 piece orginal (always thigh and drum)
One small side and a biscuit

One I buy with mashed potatoes and gravy.
The other I get their cole slaw.

First meal is 2 thighs, mashed potatoes and gravy,
the cole slaw with biscuit.

2nd meal is the 2 drums with a biscuit.

Good stuff~

I inherited a waffle iron that is circa 1950's. I don't make waffles.
It baffles me. But hey, I don't make fried chicken. That, I have done
and won't do again. The idea of fried chicken and waffles is something
I've heard of in the last decade or so. Doesn't interest me. Same with
glazed doughnuts as part of a fried chicken sandwich. Nope, no thanks.

Leo, I gather you're not going to KFC nor will you try this at home.

Interesting. Are there more things you don't like to eat? RFC wants to
know.

My mother had a waffle iron and made them occasionally. We have a waffle
iron and make them once every month or two. Fried chicken and waffles
is something I only heard about a few years ago and it sounded disgusting.

A few years ago my son took a scenic tour from here to Montreal by way
of New York state and planned to spend a night in Saratoga Springs where
he wanted to go to a place that was famous for fried chickens and
waffles. I made the mistake of questioning that, and when he got back he
said that it had been a major disappointment.

The thought of eating KFC is enough to make my stomach do a bit of a flip.

steak and some sausage gravy over the whole thing.

It was a disappointment for me as well and this was in someone's home,
not a restaurant. I've never been tempted to try this combination again.

If the waffles aren't sweetened and maple syrup is not involved, I don't
see why chicken and waffles would be much different from fried chicken and
any other carb.

mushrooms and onions fried in butter as a breakfast
thing. was good.

i can eat a lot of things plain or with a little
butter and that's ok with me. fuel for the fire.

I still have a small container of frozen mushrooms and onions
fried in butter in my freezer. Nice topping for a baked potato.

I can only go by the ads I've seen and there was definitely syrup on
those waffles.

Ah. Our more modern iron has a light that indicates when the elements
inside are heating. Other than that, we just have to check for steam
coming out the sides (not done yet) and use our judgment.

While channel-hopping, I caught the beginning of one of those awful
"restaurant visit" programs on some foody channel last night. It
specialized in chicken and waffles and after a few seconds mentioned one
favourite - Red velvet waffles. The whole concept was pukeworthy and I
switched channels quickly.

I will say that the combo of sweet and savory is a nice combo.
I used to love those cinnamon buns with white icing eaten right
along with a pile of salty Lay's chips.

The chicken and waffles though. I'd prefer to eat that as
two separate meals.
Same as steak and eggs.
Same as "surf and turf."
And especially the darn good dinner with wine.

IMO, combining two good things is NOT always the best
thing to do. Not preaching, just my personal way.

Here's another personal oddity for me. I have real maple syrup
(good for some uses) but I also have the "Log Cabin" fake syrup.
For most uses, I often prefer the log cabin stuff so my real
stuff lasts a very long time.

Worthless kitchen gadget to me.
I'll rarely buy a pack of frozen waffles - good enough.
Just as rarely, I'll make pancakes but I do make them
from scratch (old Betty Crocker recipe)

With either, I'll usually ignore my pure maple syrup
and use the Log Cabin stuff.

They stop steaming.

I just don't get this red velvet craze.

I'm not arguing that point. I got carry-out fried chicken yesterday
and some of the dinner combos had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and
a dinner roll. Sheesh.

I suppose it's no different from fish and chips, though.

They're "pretty". The fact that they're generally weakly chocolate
flavored seems to be beside the point.

I was raised with Old Time phone maple and my wife was raised with the
real stuff. My grandparents also used only real maple syrup. My wife
would insist on the real maple and I have to say that after a while I
came to appreciate and don't think I could go back to even a good
artificial maple syrup.

UGH! That does sound pukeworthy. The one and only time I had this dish
of chicken and waffles powdered sugar was involved. UGH again.

You have a hard life.
