KFC Testing Plant Based Chicken

(NBC) Kentucky Fried Chicken is partnering with Beyond Meat to test plant based chicken products.

Starting Tuesday, August 27 the fried chicken chain will debut vegetarian chicken nuggets and boneless wings at one of its Atlanta locations.

Depending on customer feedback, KFC could potentially expand the products nationwide in the coming months.

Beyond Meat also sells plant based burgers and sausages to grocery stores and some fast food chains.

Meat substitutes have been surging in demand with sales expected to jump 78% in the next five years.
