The new flavor combines barbecue recipes from Memphis and the Carolinas. According to the press release, it has a touch of vinegar to please North Carolinians, a little bit of sweetness for the Kansas City-style faithful and a crispiness that even Memphis dry rub fans will appreciate. The flavor is available with Extra Crispy Tenders, Chicken Littles, and Extra Crispy Chicken.

KFC’s Smoky Mountain BBQ Chicken is available for a limited time at participating locations.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Taco Bell Nacho Fries

Taco Bell Nacho Fries

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

If you’ve always wanted fries with your Taco Bell foodstuffs without having to make a journey to another fast food chain, it’s now time to celebrate because Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries are here.

They’re seasoned with Mexican spices and served with a container of warm nacho cheese sauce. But, I guess you could also use any of Taco Bell’s hot sauces to dip the fries in. Or you could combine the nacho cheese sauce and one of the hot sauces to create a new dipping cheese! Have any of you done that before? And why did it take me so long to realize I could do that?

A serving with nacho cheese sauce has 320 calories, 18 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 gram of cholesterol, 620 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.
