Capitalizing on the success of its Nashville Hot Chicken, KFC has unveiled a new Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles dish.
KFC's new Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles offers a tasty Southern twist on one of the brand's fan-favorite items. The dish starts with KFC's spicy and smoky Nashville Hot Chicken. The spicy chicken is then paired with Belgian Liege-style waffles, which help to temper the heat. Fans can choose to order the dish as a platter with bone-in chicken or tenders and waffles on the side, or as a sandwich made with an Extra Crispy fried chicken breast filet. Both options will be served with a side of Mrs. Butterworth’s maple syrup for a little extra sweetness.
