But here, the fried chicken of the Crispy Colonel Sandwich is delightfully flavorful enough, the cheddar crunch of the added Cheetos is a well-proportioned riff on an already indelible menu item.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/KFC-Cheetos-Sandwich-Topless.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"KFC Cheetos Sandwich Topless\" title=\"KFC Cheetos Sandwich Topless.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the added flavor of the provocative Cheetos Sauce that is a perfectly zingy taste sensation that should replace those bland slices of that American cheese nonsense in most sandwiches and burgers across the country, starting right here, right now. The sauce \u2014 very much with the look and feel of somewhat wet macaroni and cheese powder, with the Cheetos taste, natch \u2014 keeps things perfectly crunchy and crispy, making sure it coats everything it touches.<\/p>\n<p>While there is a buttery aftertaste of sorts, it\u2019s not entirely unwelcome. As a matter of fact, my main fear with the Cheetos Sandwich was that, sure, it might be good for a couple of bites, but after a few minutes alone with it, a sort of cheesy fatigue would set in. This should have been the obvious example of too much of a good thing \u2014 and it truly is \u2014 but this is a good thing that, like sitting on the couch in front of the television and downing a full bag of Cheetos, you don\u2019t get tired of it.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, this is a \u201climited time only\u201d thing, per usual, but I would like to see KFC expand on this, much like how Taco Bell has exploited its Doritos offerings. Maybe various flavors like a Chipotle Ranch or, Lord forbid, a Flaming Hot variation of a chicken sandwich? Or how about some Jalapeno Cheddar-infused potatoes wedges or, and here\u2019s an idea you can have, KFC, a Mexican-style Cheetos <em>elote<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>But, Hell, to be fair, I would pay extra for a couple of packets of that crazy Cheetos sauce to liberally squeeze on my two-piece or, if I\u2019m being grossly honest, to suck straight from like it was directly drained from Chester Cheetah\u2019s nipples.
