Holy crap! China has had Pepsi Cola chicken-flavored Lay’s potato chips since August!
Cola chicken is a common recipe in China, with chicken wings tossed into a wok and caramelized in soy sauce, spices and cola. In potato-chip form, the flavor is vaguely similar to barbecue with a sugary aftertaste. If there’s any hint of Pepsi, it’s fleeting and lacks fizz.
Now that I know there’s a Chinese dish called cola chicken, I hope Panda Express offers an Americanized version of it really soon.
Here’s the TV commercial for the cola chicken-flavored chips:
Cola chicken sounds tasty…
“You got Pepsi in my chicken wings!”
“You got chicken wings in my Pepsi!”
Two great tastes that taste great together!
Why is it that the USA can’t get these special foreign flavors…
Whopper flavor potato chips are sold in Mexico…

Those are available in the US as well. They also have Ketchup & Fries, Cheese Fries, Hot Fries, French Toast Sticks, Onion Rings, and probably more that escape me at the moment.
Since August?! How did this slip by everyone?
I know.
