Calling all Angelenos! Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is opening a Chicken and Donut store for one day only in Los Angeles.
The pop-up store will open tomorrow (Saturday, February 22) and will serve a selection of sweet, sticky and fried treats. As a special treat, the first 50 customers in line at the shop will receive a free Colonel's Dozen—a mouthwatering mix of six KFC Extra Crispy chicken tenders and six glazed to order donuts.
KFC and donut fans can also experience this finger licking sweet and savory meal in a variety of options, ranging from $5.49 to $7.99:
- Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Basket meal: chicken on the bone or Extra Crispy chicken tenders, paired with one donut. It's also available as a big basket meal, which includes two donuts
- Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Sandwich: a juicy, hand-breaded Extra Crispy chicken filet sandwiched between two fully glazed donuts
Guests can satisfy their sweet tooth by adding a donut to any meal for an additional cost. Then, from February 24, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Donuts will be available at participating restaurants in the U.S. for a limited time only.
This isn't the first time the fast food chain has flown the coop and created unusual food items. In 2016, KFC debuted the Nashville Hot Chicken nationwide, with Chicken & Waffles making its appearance in 2018. This latest pairing gained so much popularity, acclaimed chefs started opening entire concepts around it, according to the company.
"Chicken and Donuts is the newest fried chicken trend we're bringing to all of America," said Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer, KFC U.S. "But not just any donut would do. Only a donut that's glazed to order and served piping hot every single time can stand next to our hand-breaded fried chicken. It's a finger lickin' good dish filled with glaze and glory."
The KFC Corporation is based in Louisville, Kentucky and is considered the world's popular chicken restaurant chain. It specializes in Original Recipe, Extra Crispy, Kentucky Grilled Chicken and Extra Crispy Tenders, Hot Wings, KFC Famous Bowls, Pot Pies, freshly hand prepared chicken sandwiches, biscuits and homestyle side items. There are more than 23,000 KFC restaurants in 140 countries and territories around the world.
The Colonel's (Chicken &) Donuts Shop will be located at 615 North La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036 and will open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. local time, serving only Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts.

From Monday, February 24, 2020, Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts will be available nationwide through March 16, or while supplies last.
