By Travis Riffe • December 3, 2019
KFC engaged in another one-day test of plant-based chicken. The chicken QSR said the latest experiment occurred November 27th in Ontario, featuring a plant-based fried chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken. This product test was distinct from previous testing, using a new supplier, Lightlife by Greenleaf Foods, and different products from the previously tested chicken nuggets and boneless wings. KFC is not alone in trying out the new plant-based company, as A&W has also partnered with Greenleaf to offer plant-based chicken-flavored nuggets at select locations in Ontario and British Columbia, which kicked off December 2nd.
