KFC is Testing Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets

For a brand like KFC, it’s a wonder why they haven’t had chicken nuggets on their menu — until now. That’s because The Colonel’s ubiquitous brand just recently started testing new Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets at select locations in Charlotte, NC, for a limited time only.

The new Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets are all white meat pieces of chicken hand-breaded in KFC’s legendary 11 herbs and spices. Options of the nuggets are available in 8, 12 and 36 pieces.

Having tried the new Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets myself, I can vouch for how valid and delicious they are, certainly leaning into the iconic flavor of the Original Recipe and delivering it to our appetites in chicken nugget form.

To celebrate the arrival of the new Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets in Charlotte, KFC is delivering an exclusive first taste to the staff at a number of Atrium Health maternity center locations who help introduce new nuggets (cute little newborns, of course) into the world everyday.
