Fried chicken ice cream

Is it ice cream or poultry? Looks can be deceiving with Ice 'N' Roll's sweet new special meant to mess with your mind. The Fall River shop is serving up their own version of the viral fried chicken ice cream, a confectionary creation that's winning over the internet. The trending TikTok recipe uses vanilla ice cream, white chocolate and coated in cornflakes, with a Twix candy bar center to mimic the bone. It looks like chicken, but most definitely is not. Try Ice 'N' Roll's with a side of their waffle cone fries. Both are available starting this Friday, March 10, through Sunday, March 12, with limited supplies. So grab a drumstick while they last. Ice 'N' Roll is located at 4263 North Main St., Fall River.
