Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running on empty food review
I am your host the report of the week and welcome to this newest
review this newest
Spectacular we're giving out a well. We're giving a shot. That's what I do want to say
We're given this new item from KFC a shot. There we go. Now we're right now we're in business
You know, I have to just say it outright, I mean I just have I have to say it has is
You know fast food right now, of course I've reviewed a lot of it I've tried a lot of it
There's a lot of it out there. There's always these new creations these new ideas these new
Things if you want to call them at times
Sometimes you know fast food it builds up of course a reputation
It's like oh it's um, well, you know the junk food.
And sometimes you get this stereotype, right? So it's like all this
Fried I just stuff stacked up on top of each other
This is probably the most stereotypical
Fast food item I've ever reviewed
without exaggeration ever
Chicken and
Donuts
Sandwich, you know, it's like it sounds like something that you would even make like a joke like oh, yeah
You just got some fried chicken extra crispy and a slap it on top of a couple donuts
But this is this is the real deal KFC. You know, we're past the point of chicken and waffles
We're past the point
You know just bread right forget about bread that's that's so you know
2019 and
chicken and waffles is I
guess so late 2019 early 2020 and
Then there was a time where we're KFC if they had like the chicken where it's like the chicken that we remember the buns
I don't know
That or not that's like 10 years ago
Now we're a chicken and doughnuts
So what this is is of course, it's the very historic combination of chicken and Donuts
Right that goes back into the back into the 1700s. So during the
Especially I believe the American Revolution. So if they used to eat and just a lot of history behind it
But I chicken and donuts. It's you know, you get your doughnuts and then you got the chicken in between and
There's your meal. A lot of people have been requesting this though, and I wanted to give it a shot
Wanted to see what it tastes like now you can get this though in some different ways
You can get just your chicken with a side of a doughnut right or you can get the chicken and Donuts sandwich
And now the chicken and Donuts, right? Does it just like your pieces of chicken? Um
Whereas this the sandwich has extra crispy chicken tenders
sandwiched between
said two doughnuts
These are glazed doughnuts. These are not jelly doughnuts. They're not um, you know, the strawberry frosted doughnuts they know
Donuts that aren't donuts
They're supposed to just be your glazed doughnuts with the with the chicken in between it's gonna be an interesting one
That's not that I think all that I can tell you you can see kind of the kernel looking at you're right. They're
Very easy these she's kind of been peering out at you the whole time delivery or pickup
So I guess you can I don't know what they're insinuating there
Looks like we do have some mild. Um, donut escapage right there. Let me right you see some donut
Remnants, I mean, I hope I haven't really hoped that's from the donuts on the outside of the box there
there's
The kernel right there
once again
think of this as a
tiny treasure chest
filled with chicken
Treasures right? Yeah, why not? All right. This is like a treasure chest. So imagine
Let's just get into the groove here. Okay
So imagine, you know, we're like we're pirates or something and you know, we're on some island
you know in the maybe the Caribbean a tropical climate and
We're diggin and we come across this. So inside this is the buried treasure, okay?
Let's see this
Chicken and Donuts never thought I'd be trying this one out there, huh?
Well, there it is it's a doughnut and some chicken
God I can't I can't believe this is it I don't know why I just can't get over it
I mean I cannot believe this is a thing I
Don't know why
Boy, it's a messy item. Let me tell you that right off the bat
This is not something that you want to eat in your your car. That's very that's for sure
you can see already the glazed stuff is all over my
fingers. I might even have to get up and get some paper towels for this one
I don't know if just the mere napkins or
Tissues would be able to take care of this but you can see right there. There's the doughnut
I mean, it's literally what they said. It's gonna be it's it's chicken
and Donuts
Look at that I can't I can't I don't know why I just can't get over it. I cannot get over it
Chicken and Donuts. The donuts are soft that. I mean you could see there is a lot of that glaze on it now
it's gonna be interesting, you know, I've never had donuts and
Fried Chicken at the same time before so it's gonna be unique. I'll give you credit give him credit for that
So well, yeah just sugary glazed donuts and extra crispy chicken tenders
Well, let's try it out. I don't know. I'm at a loss for words
Are you there's nothing else? I can say it's chicken and Donuts from KFC
Going in
Well, it's interesting I'll give it okay, I'll say that number one
Let's take like two more bites. And then I'm just gonna pause the camera wash my hands and come right back
Wow, it's it's interesting. I mean that's that's what I'm saying
I'm gonna pause it. I'll be right back
Okay, so here's what we've got number one
I've washed my hands they even still like it's a little bit of stickiness on them
so, I mean first and foremost, you have to remember if you get this and you
intend
On eating this in your car. I
Mean if you really want to you know, but I would say I advise against it
because it's a very messy item and I mean
You know, it is saturated in that sugary glaze. Um, but as a result just given that consistency that kind of like liquid
Consistency of the glaze that's on this sandwich
It's going to get everywhere and again you could see how much of it was on my fingers as I was eating this
So number one
Expect I mean no matter where you eat this to have very sticky fingers after you after you chow down on this
It's a number one. Bear that in mind
Number two one thing that I think you need to understand as you eat this
This is the epitome of a novelty item. There's different types of items that are released in the world of fast food
of course you have items that I think are more practical and items that are done for more say
Social media appeal again adds a novelty get people talking about it get people
Post it on the gram
right as they say and
You know, just get that kind of viral marketing
This is the epitome of one of those, you know type of
novelty
Social media friendly items it's meant I think to not necessarily be a practical snack
something instead that people are going to talk about well, just like I am and
as a result
Considering that it is a novelty don't expect it to taste like the world's best
It's interesting. I would have expected the flavors to tell you the truth. I would have expected the flavors of this chicken and doughnut sandwich
To conflict more than they really did. It was a little weird
Tasting especially the combination of the ever so secret herbs and spices on the outside of the end the the crispy chicken
tenders
Blending in just with that
sugary
dough of the donuts. I know they conflict a little bit but again,
It's not like it's not at that point
whereas I mean
especially I remember when I was trying got an item from KFC the
Nashville hot chicken and waffles where that just didn't work and it just tasted off it tasted bad
This again while there is that conflicting flavors?
I mean, I wouldn't say that it tastes bad tastes a little weird, but it's not bad. I mean look the doughnuts
Everything is very straightforward here. The doughnuts themselves are I would say they're not very Airy. They're doughy
They're oily. They're very sugary
the chicken itself is
Crispy, its juicy its fatty and again has that that seasoning of course on it
As a result, right? They taste exactly like how you would imagine it and
They both they both have their distinct flavors didn't really blend
This is like a I'm having a bite of the chicken and a bite of the donut. They don't blend in
they're like this new type of
Donating used chicken or anything. It's like air. All right, I distinctly taste the chicken. I
distinctly taste the doughnut they don't really work, but they don't really
You know taste repulsive either
It's it's strange. That's all that I'm gonna say, but it's like it's not really good, but it's not really bad either
It's just like in that rare gray area where it's like yeah, you know
It's weird
But I'll eat it and that's what it comes down to I think
Expected to be a novelty expect that sweetness to be very prevalent though
And I mean if you eat it, I don't think you'll be throwing it up or anything
but uh
Yeah
just just be just be ready that it's just gonna be a it's gonna be an interesting unique experience either way price for this was
$5.99 a little bit expensive. But again, it is a novelty item chicken and Donuts as a sandwich I suppose so out of 10
Yeah, I'll give it a yeah, I'll give it a six point eight out of ten which is a little bit above average
It's a novelty it is what they said. It's gonna be
Not the best thing we've ever had definitely not the worst
But it's certainly interesting and you're certainly getting a lot of that sugary coating. It's a good portion size. That's why it has
Raining and then it has and with it. That's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week today's review is for the chicken and donuts sandwich from KFC
Give it a shot. If you want though. It's certainly gonna be interesting that I think I can I can guarantee you without a doubt
So with that, that's all that I have Thank You. Just stay safe out there
I really do mean it of course with the virus and everything stay safe be hygienic be informed and
I'll be back again in a couple days with with another video of some sort. Thank you and take care. Happy doughnut consuming
