Introducing: The "skin-wich"
http://www.geekologie.com/2010/08/mm..._kfc_skinw.php
Personally, I'll try anything once!
Kentucky Fried Cruelty is allegedly testing a new sandwich at select stores. What kind of sandwich? Try "5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white american cheese and bacon." Mmmm, I can already feel my intestines trying to escape out my butthole. Per somebody who had the misfortune of trying one:
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 don't know about you, but when I close my eyes and think "delicious", a pile of fried chicken skin is definitely in the top three. Okay, okay -- top ten. Thousand. Right behind a football.

My wife absolutely loves crispy chicken skin. I just asked her and she said she would probably like it, but would never eat it.
As for me, I'd rather have the equivalent in crisp bacon topped with tomato for that amount of fat and calories.
