KFC rolls out deep-fried burrito
Move over, Double Down.
KFC New Zealand has just introduced its deep-fried "Crispy Burrito," which includes fried chicken, cheese, and bacon, along with barbecue sauce. Everything is rolled into a tortilla and then deep-fried.
The Crispy Burrito costs 3.90 NZ (about $2.80 USD). It's only available in New Zealand, but here's hoping that anything deep-fried that includes bacon eventually makes its way to America.
