After a brief introduction to KFC's Beyond Fried Chicken last year, the plant-based poultry is getting an expanded test run across Southern California.
Starting July 20th, Beyond Meat's collab with KFC will be available for a limited time at 59 locations across Southern California. The restaurants are located in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties.
For those unfamiliar, the Beyond Fried Chicken offering consists of nuggets made from a plant-based chicken breast substitute that Beyond Meat has developed. Seasoned like KFC's fried chicken, it's sold in a 6-piece or 12-piece order, with combo options available as well. All of these come with your choice of dipping sauce.
The SoCal regional offering marks the third time Beyond Fried Chicken has been made available, suggesting that KFC is looking to ramp this up to a national scale some time in the near future. It first showed up in Atlanta in August 2019, followed by a test offering in February 2020 in Nashville and Charlotte.
Considering its debut in Atlanta drew hour-long lines, there's definitely a growing appetite for the nuggets that the chain could capitalize on.
Below is a list of all of the locations you can find the plant-based chicken at starting on the 20th:
