According to WILX News 10, Your Breaking News and Weather Authority, KFC is testing fried chicken made with faux meat.

The chain is teaming up with Beyond Meat to make Beyond Fried Chicken.  KCF will become the first nationwide fast food restaurant to test Beyond Meat's plant based chicken.

The vegan menu item will be available at one KFC location in Atlanta on Cobb Parkway starting today.

Customers will have the option of trying the new item as either nuggets or wings with choice of dipping sauce.

KFC says it will consider customer feedback before deciding to test the menu item at more locations or launch it nationally.

The chain has been planning and testing vegetarian fried chicken in the UK since June 2018. The chicken chain also plans to introduce a variety of meals under 600 calories by 2020.

Other restaurants have also tested plant based meat alternative products. Burger King recently made its plant based impossible Whoppers available across the United States.
