KFC’s Chinese division has released an unusual Oreo chicken burger and sweet dipping sauces, gaining significant online attention and leaving KFC’s main X account openly confused. The unconventional sandwich places an Original Recipe chicken thigh fillet and lettuce between two black, Oreo-flavoured bread buns. The burger is topped with mashed potatoes mixed with crushed Oreo cocoa pieces. Promotional images describe a collision of sweet and savoury flavours, with crispy chicken, soft potatoes and cocoa crumbs creating different textures. Alongside the burger, KFC China introduced what it calls its first sweet fried chicken “companion sauces.” Customers can dip their chicken in either a white vanilla-flavoured sauce or a thick black cocoa-flavoured sauce. Each container holds 30 grams, while promotional material advertises the pair for 2.5 yuan, equivalent to roughly $0.35 USD. The menu item quickly went viral after images spread outside China. A post from Dexerto drew more than 24 million views, while KFC’s main X account replied directly to Dexerto with a confused GIF and the words, “us to KFC China.” The following morning, the account quote-posted the burger with the blunt message: “KFC CHINA guys.” The unusual sandwich reverses an earlier crossover between the two brands. Earlier in August, KFC and Oreo released fried chicken-flavoured cookies featuring savoury creme inspired by the Colonel’s Original Recipe. Oreo has also been testing unconventional flavours in other markets. In the United States, the company recently unveiled Chicken & Waffles, Banana Pudding and Deep Fried Oreo cookies as part of a fan vote. Other KFC branches have experimented with unusual menu additions as well. KFC Canada recently unveiled a Flamin’ Hot Cheetos menu that includes a Cheetos Dirty Soda. In Australia, the chain released fried chicken-flavoured toothpaste, while its UK operation offered gravy gelato. KFC has not announced plans to bring the Oreo chicken burger or the sweet dipping sauces outside China. The reaction from the company’s American account also suggested the item had taken it by surprise. Availability remains tied to China for now, so people in Soomaaliya, East Africa and Somali diaspora communities are more likely to encounter this idea online than order it from a local KFC.
