KFC Offering Plant-Based Chicken At Cobb Location On Tuesday

SMYRNA, GA — KFC is rolling out a new, plant-based chicken at its Smyrna restaurant on August 27. The Louisville, Kentucky-based chain is the national first quick service restaurant to introduce a plant-based chicken, in partnership with Beyond Meat. Beyond Fried Chicken is debuting in a limited test on August 27, and it can be found at the chain's Cobb Parkway restaurant near SunTrust Park.

Beyond Fried Chicken is available in nuggets with choice of favorite dipping sauce, like KFC’s
signature Finger Lickin’ Good sauce, or boneless wings tossed in one of three sauce options: Nashville Hot, Buffalo or Honey BBQ.

Complimentary samples of Beyond Fried Chicken will be available from 10:30 am to 6:30 pm on August 27 with the purchase of any menu item, while supplies last.

“KFC Beyond Fried Chicken is so delicious, our customers will find it difficult to tell that it’s
plant-based,” said Kevin Hochman, president and chief concept officer, KFC U.S.

Beyond Meat began developing its plant-based meat in 2009 and has introduced several products across the brand’s beef, pork and poultry platforms.
