KFC Beyond Meat Fried Chicken

The introduction comes after Yum Brands and Beyond Meat spent years developing a meat replacement that tasted and felt like whole muscle chicken, such as chicken breast, rather than the ground-up consistency of nuggets.

In August2019, the two businesses tried plant-based chicken in an Atlanta restaurant, where it sold out in less than five hours. Two years ago, KFC tested the new dish in Nashville, Charlotte, N.C., and southern California.

KFC locations around the country will begin serving Beyond Meat's plant-based chicken on Monday for a limited period.
