KFC (Singapore) Has Tacos With Fried Chicken Shells

KFC Has Tacos With Fried Chicken Shells And It's Honestly Kind Of Genius



KFC continues to render the laws of typical food irrelevant. First, the brand made a sandwich with fried chicken for buns (ah, the Double Down...), recently it made chicken sandwich with donuts for buns, and now, at least in Singapore, it's innovating in a way we never saw coming: a taco with a fried chicken "shell."

Yes, KFC Singapore is truly living in 3020 and selling a deliciously unhinged item called the Kentaco. It's made up of a fried chicken shell that's filled with lettuce, tomatoes, and a mix of four different cheeses—Emmental, Romano, cheddar, and mozzarella. Basically it's a thing of beauty, and honestly I really wanna try it.

Since it was announced earlier this month, people have been flocking to KFC to give it a taste. So far the reviews have been pretty positive, though some are still confused by the concept, which, fair! One person raved that they "might be in love," while another conceded that it was "surprisingly not terrible." We'll take it!

This isn't the only amazing thing KFC Singapore has cooking up. According to its Instagram, it's also selling FRIED CHICKEN SKIN, which is a dream of dreams. I'm about to risk it all, pack my bags, and try this stuff for myself...

KFC food is disgusting.

My husband has to drive to the next town north of us to find it - and then he has to pretend that he didn't.

He went to a federal prison where the big treat was KFC once a week.
He became a carnivore.

I always forget to get rid of the bag.

I come home from work....

hubby: you smell like fast food...
me: I have no idea what you're talking about...(shifty side look)
hubby squints suspiciously

The next day, I ask hubby for a favor to get gas/wash car/ whatever

hubby: what this? (shakes take-out bag)
me: uh...
hubby: I found the receipt too.

In Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, gribenes or grieven (Yiddish: גריבענעס?, [ˈɡrɪbənəs], "scraps"; Hebrew: גלדי שומן? are crisp chicken or goose skin cracklings with fried onions. As with other cracklings, gribenes are a byproduct of rendering animal fat to produce cooking fat, in this case kosher schmaltz.[1][2][3]
