Article Summary

Oreo has launched a new KFC-flavored cookie in China, blending two major brands in a surprising snack crossover.
The Oreo flavor is inspired by KFC’s huge popularity in China, where the chain offers a distinct local fast-food experience.
This Oreo is not chicken-filled; the cookie and creme likely split KFC-inspired flavors across both parts for balance.
For now, the KFC Oreo is exclusive to China, with no North American release planned despite obvious curiosity.

If you happen to be one of those people who love the taste of KFC as well as Oreo cookies, then have we got news for you. Mondelez International decided to launch a new flavor of Oreo in China this week, as they have created a KFC-flavored cookie. If you're not already aware, KFC is an entirely different experience in China, as we can attest to having tried it ourselves on a trip. The food just hits different there, and because of this, it's one of the most popular fast food chains in the country. So much so that they have done a number of different spin-offs with various companies in China to bring the KFC flavors and experience to all kinds of products. A lot of which are from companies based in the country. But the fact that we're seeing a brand as big as Oreo team up with them is weird and kind of awesome.

KFC Chicken In An Oreo Cookie

Now, before you get grossed out over this, no, you're not biting into a chocolate cookie with chicken frosting. The way Oreo has been doing flavors over the past couple of years is that the cookie and the frosting tend to be two different but complementary flavors. Like how the BTS cookie had pancake flavoring in the cookie, and the frosting made up the rest of the brown sugar flavoring. So more than likely, the original recipe has been spread out across the two components so that they taste different when apart, but normal when put together.

Aside from the flavoring, the weird part is that this is a China-only product, and it's not planned for a North American release. Which you would think would be the ultimate market for this kind of thing! Maybe if it gets enough attention, they'll try it here!
