KFC adds chicken and waffles to the menu

TAMPA (FOX 13) - A Southern style staple food item is coming to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

KFC added chicken and waffles to its menu on Monday, November 12. The fast food chain is pairing their extra crispy fried chicken with Mrs. Butterworth's maple-flavored syrup and Belgian-style waffles.

KFC's head chef said they went through 15 different variations of waffles to perfect theirs by adding "sweeter and doughier than American-style waffles."

You can get different chicken and waffle combo meals or get the treat in sandwich form. They're only available until December 31.
