KFC restaurants nationwide will add Beyond Meat’s plant-based chicken to its menus, starting Monday January 10th for a limited time.
The launch comes after years of testing from KFC and Beyond Meat to create a meat substitute that mimicked the taste and texture of whole muscle chicken, like chicken breast, rather than the ground-up consistency of nuggets.
The fan favorite Mexican Pizza will make a return to the menu in 2022. Back by popular demand, expect the pizza to appear in April or May.
Taco Bell will soon be adding chicken wings to the menu — for a single week in January.
The new Crispy Chicken Wings will be coated in “flavorful Mexican Queso seasoning” and paired with a side of spicy ranch dipping sauce. Each order also comes in a five-piece “on-the-go” box for $5.99. Taco Bell’s latest offering will be available beginning on Thursday, Jan. 6 at participating locations. Customers will be able to order the wings each day after 2 p.m. through the end of the week.
For a limited time, Taco Bell is offering fans a chance to score a $5 Chalupa Cravings Box as part of the new Cravings Value Menu. Each Chalupa Cravings Box includes a Chalupa Supreme, Burrito Supreme, Soft Taco and Cinnamon Twists served with a medium fountain drink. A Veggie version of the box is also available, it includes a Black Bean Chalupa Supreme, Veggie Burrito Supreme, Black Bean Soft Taco and Cinnamon Twists, plus a medium fountain drink for $5.
