KFC is testing a fried chicken sandwich with donuts as the buns

Just when you thought it was time to bring home the troops from the great chicken sandwich war between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A, KFC introduces a new sandwich. And it's bold.

The new sandwich features the chain's Extra Crispy™ chicken filet between two hot glazed donuts.

If stacking food isn't your thing you can also enjoy the components side-by-side. KFC is also introducing a Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donut Basket meal, which includes the option of chicken on the bone or chicken tenders, paired with one donut for $5.49. If that doesn't fill you up, you can add another donut for $7.49.

And if your sweet tooth still isn't satisfied, you can buy single donuts for just $1.

Unfortunately, the new menu item will only appear for a limited time in select locations: Pittsburgh as well as Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia. When asked, the company couldn't provide a date for a nationwide roll-out of the donut sandwich as these locations are being used to determine just how hungry the country is for this daring new combination. If the reception is positive, you can look forward to checking these bad boys out at your local KFC branch.

Finally, if you're a real KFC stan and were wondering, the new donut sandwich will not be featured in the highly anticipated Colonel Sander's Dating Sim set to be released September 24. On the other hand, a KFC representative assured us the Mac and Cheese bowls launched August 26 will mostly definitely be in the game. 

Maybe we can hope for a DLC.
