Last week, KFC unveiled their latest addition to their “secret menu”, the Popcorn Chicken Slab. A pièce de résistance that could only be the brainchild of someone with a penchant for lunging bongs.

The Popcorn Chicken slab is an architectural triumph that makes the Acropolis look like a propped up McMansion. For $9.95 you can slam “a bed of popcorn chicken on six soft dinner rolls, with tasty cheese and BBQ sauce” down your gullet.

As it stands, the divine creation is only available at certain restaurants in the Ballarat region — which is somehow the least surprising information I’ve ever come across.

 “We’re always looking for new ways to delight fans of the Colonel’s finest, and we’re excited to bring new and innovative menu items to our restaurants,” shared a KFC spokesperson.

“Our latest creation – the Popcorn Chicken Slab – is being put to the test and is currently available in nine restaurants within the Ballarat area. Stay tuned to see if the Popcorn Chicken Slab makes it to KFC menus nationwide!”

We hope that this receives the national rollout it so clearly deserves.

KFC recently unearthed another god-defying culinary creation, their ‘Fried Chicken Donut Burger’. The burger precariously holds one of their fantastically seasoned chicken fillets between two glazed doughnuts. It’s an absolute showcase of gluttony.
