KFC\u2019s Pickle Fried Chicken is the latest addition to their lineup of southern-inspired sauced chicken options. Described as \u201ccrunchy fried chicken covered in a delicious dill pickle sauce,\u201d at first glance KFC\u2019s Pickle Fried Chicken appears to veer closer to a Double Down-style stunt offering than the <\/a>Nashville Hot, <\/a>Georgia Gold, or <\/a>BBQ Smoky Mountain varieties. <\/p>\n As a Yankee from the Midwest who\u2019s only occasionally traveled below the Mason-Dixon line, even I\u2019m aware that the South can do some pretty creative things with pickles. Don\u2019t misunderstand me, as a fan of all things salty, sour, sweet, and weird in various combinations, I wholeheartedly approve. <\/p>\n I\u2019ll try your Kool-Aid pickles, pickled watermelon rind, and pickled pig\u2019s feet. I can\u2019t guarantee I\u2019ll try them twice, but I\u2019ll certainly give them the benefit of the doubt. It turns out Kool-Aid pickles don\u2019t deserve that benefit, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.<\/p>\n So, if I\u2019ll eat a koolickle, why am I skeptical of this chicken? It must be because my only experience with the chicken+pickle flavor combination is Chick-fil-A\u2019s namesake sandwich, whose only adornment is dill pickle slices. It\u2019s always left me a bit underwhelmed with its plainness. <\/p>\n I know. Boo! Hiss! Thrown Tomato! But pickles don\u2019t seem like a substantial enough addition to elevate a fast food item. <\/p>\n I ordered a Pickle Fried Chicken Tender Basket, which comes with mashed potatoes, gravy, and a biscuit. I also got a Pickle Fried Chicken Little. (The mashed potatoes and gravy is school cafeteria-level, but the biscuit is fantastic.) <\/p>\n Despite my skepticism, these tenders are very impressive. They\u2019re juicy, and I\u2019m pleased that the extra crispy chicken remained so after the 20-minute drive home. These aren\u2019t heavily sauced, but the dill pickle flavor asserts itself well. It\u2019s not a novelty flavor like I initially suspected. <\/p>\n Instead, the dill compliments the chicken and a slight vinegar tang cuts through the grease. Make no mistake, these are greasy, but when it comes to fried chicken, I consider that a feature and not a bug. Taking a bite with the accompanying pickles is peak-dill, and good enough that I wish KFC had given me more of them.<\/p>\n The Chicken Little is good, but a bit less impressive. The addition of bread and mayonnaise serves to mute the dill pickle flavor of which I\u2019m a newly converted fan. By the way, why doesn\u2019t KFC serve sandwiches on their biscuits? Their current biscuit would be perfect for a slider, and a more massive biscuit sandwich would be a real winner. I\u2019ll take my royalty fee in coleslaw, Colonel.<\/p>\n After tasting KFC\u2019s Pickle Fried Chicken Tenders and Chicken Little, the problem with Chick-fil-A\u2019s sandwich becomes clear: not enough pickle. This is a limited time offer, so I recommend trying it before it\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – Unavailable on KFC’s website.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.59 (Chicken Tenders Basket\/$1.39 Chicken Little Sandwich KFC\u2019s Pickle Fried Chicken is the latest addition to their lineup of southern-inspired sauced chicken options.
