There’s a new way to turn your fingers orange it seems!
The Cheetos tagline may be “It ain’t easy being cheesy,” but Kentucky Fried Chicken begs to differ. According to a company spokesperson, the fried chicken chain is teaming up with the masterminds of everyone’s favorite crispy snacks to make one “dangerously cheesy” sandwich.
This week, KFC revealed its new Cheetos Sandwich, which is a crispy chicken sandwich stuffed with Cheetos. Available at select KFC restaurants in Greensboro and Raleigh, North Carolina; Roanoke and Richmond, Virginia; and Greenville, Georgia, the Cheetos Sandwich is a Southern exclusive for the time being.
Whether or no it will expand its cheesy reach remains to be seen, but for now, our friends in the South will have to tell us how it is.
KFC describes its new creation in its press release: “Made by coating a juicy, hand-breaded Extra Crispy chicken filet with special Cheetos sauce and placing it on a toasted bun with mayo and a layer of crunchy Cheetos, the Cheetos Sandwich will give you a blast of craveable Cheetos in every bite.”
“Both KFC and Cheetos have dedicated fan bases loyal to each new creation,” a spokesperson added. “It only made sense to merge these two iconic brands together to provide an irresistible and flavorful sandwich that gives the best of both worlds.”
This isn’t the first time Cheetos has been incorporated into other food items. Burger King’s 2016 Mac-n-Cheetos mashup was so successful it debuted Flamin’ Hot Mac-n-Cheetos the following year. Regal Cinemas also made movie-theater munching cheesier with Cheetos popcorn. Small businesses also capitalized on Cheetos’ hot flavor by mixing it into ice cream.
This just goes to show you how “dangerously cheesy” and delicious Cheetos can be!
