Taste Test: KFC's New Skinwich

Brain Residue is taste testing Kentucky Fried Chicken's new sandwich: The Skinwich.

5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white American cheese and bacon. It’s only available at a handful of KFC's (for now).

Brain Residues verdict:

Nasty. The richness of all that fatty seasoned skin is totally overwhelming. It’s also tongue-parchingly-salty.

I started to gag and got that “brushing the back of your tongue” feeling. Had to spit it out. In KFC’s defense, the sandwich was luke-warm after taking the pics. But I doubt it would be much better hot.

With this latest move and the Double Down‘s success, KFC may be catching up to Hardees/BK in the “making sandwiches so nauseating they generate buzz” dept.

I think I will pass on this one.
