<\/a>Smoky Mountain BBQ…yup, pickles.<\/p>\nHowever, with those three, the pickles weren’t the focus. But now the brined vegetable gets to be the headliner with KFC’s new Pickle Fried Chicken.<\/p>\n
The main component of the dish is a sauce that’s made with dill, vinegar, onion, garlic, buttermilk, and white and black pepper. Patrons can get it with the chain’s Extra Crispy Chicken or with the Crispy Colonel Sandwich. And, of course, it comes with pickles.<\/p>\n
KFC’s Pickle Fried Chicken is available for a very limited time. How limited? According to the chicken chain, each restaurant will receive enough ingredients to make the menu item for just a few weeks.<\/p>\n
