Oreo has never been afraid to think outside the cookie box. Over the years, the brand has rolled out plenty of unexpected flavors, from Pumpkin Spice and Lemon Twist to Red Velvet, giving fans plenty to debate—and plenty to dunk. But its latest collaboration may have some cookie lovers wondering: Has Oreo finally gone too far?
The newest flavor comes from an unlikely partnership between Oreo and KFC, and let’s just say it’s not your typical sweet treat. The savory-inspired cookie has sparked plenty of confusion online, with some people questioning who, exactly, asked for this combination in the first place.
So, what does a KFC-inspired Oreo actually taste like, where can you find it and—perhaps most importantly—is it coming to the U.S.? We’re breaking down everything you need to know about the unusual new cookie, plus a look at a few more Oreo flavors headed to shelves that might be a little easier to get behind.
What is the new flavor?
If the two companies collaborating haven’t scared you off yet, the actual flavor just might. KFC and Oreo have partnered to release a fried-chicken-flavored cookie. Yes, you read that right. Taking the classic chocolate cookie Oreo fans know and love and combining it with a cream blended with 11 savory seasoning, this new cookie is sure to confuse you.
The Oreo creme, which replaces the cookie’s usual sweet, white filling, consists of herbs, spices and salt that resemble the classic KFC batter. So while it’s not actually chicken-flavored, it’s still unique enough to leave everyone questioning the combo. The cookie also features the KFC logo on one side, instead of the usual Oreo logo.
This new fried-chicken-flavored Oreo isn’t available everywhere yet, which may be a good thing. Currently, the product has been released only in China. But it’s possible it will one day make it to the U.S. if it gets a positive reaction.
What fans are saying
It seems that Oreo may have taken the adventurous flavors a step too far with the fried chicken flavor and fans are agreeing. Comments about the new cookie show that many aren’t excited about the flavor and have no interest in trying it. One reads, “Why would they make the kfc ones when they could make edible ones,” while another says, “Stop messing with the Oreos!”
It isn’t the first time an Oreo this strange has been released. In 2018, the Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi flavors were released in Chinese markets, but considering they never made their way to the US, it’s safe to say they weren’t a success.
Other flavors on the way
While the Fried Chicken Oreos make their way through international markets, a couple of fan-favorite flavors have returned to shelves in the US. If you’re looking for something new that doesn’t taste like a savory bucket of chicken, you can check these out.
Oreo’s Apple Pie a la Mode cookies have returned, as well as the Orange Creme cookies. Both were major hits when they were first released last year and will officially be available again this fall. While the Orange Creme tastes just like a regular Oreo, just with orange-colored cream, it does feature spooky designs for Halloween including a witch’s hat, a skull, a haunted mansion, a howling wolf in front of a moon a jack-o-lantern and a hand rising from a grave.
The Apple Pie a la mode features two vanilla cookies, stuffed with apple pie and vanilla ice cream flavored cream. So, if you’re someone who enjoys going all out for fall and spooky season, be sure to pick these tasty Oreo flavors up this season.
