I tried KFC’s 3 new chicken and waffle dishes, and there was a clear winner

• On November 12, KFC added three new meals made with chicken and waffles to its menu.
• The available options are chicken tenders, fried chicken, and a sandwich with Belgian Liège-style waffle buns, along with a side of Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup. 
• The fried chicken and chicken tenders remain the same as the fast-food’s other chicken menu items, but the Liège-style waffles are sweeter and doughier than expected.
• My favorite was the chicken and waffle sandwich, which had just the right balance of spicy and sweet for my taste.

While pairing fried chicken and waffles together predates Colonel Sanders, it isn’t until this year that KFC finally decided to try its hand at the iconic dish.

After a trial at locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, this past summer, KFC started serving chicken and waffles nationwide from November 12 and will offer the dishes through December 31.
