KFC Australia has announced a fresh new take on one of its old favourites.

Wicked Popcorn takes the spices from the restaurant’s Wicked Wings combining it in tasty bite-sized morsels similar to KFC’s iconic Popcorn Chicken.

But instead of chicken, Wicked Popcorn is completely plant-based.

Sally Spriggs, CMO of KFC Australia says the chicken restaurant is trying to expand its market share.

 “We’re excited to serve up Wicked Popcorn – an innovative product that offers more choice on our menu,” she says.

“We’re always looking to treat our fans with new products, so we hope they’ll enjoy this meat-free option which offers that great KFC taste our fans know and love.”

Would you be willing to try plant-based KFC? Or is that a step too far?
