KFC Fried Chicken Pizza

KFC's Fried Chicken Pizza Is the Hybrid Food of Our Dreams and Nightmares

The Chizza is spreading. After testing out a fried-chicken-pizza hybrid in the Philippines, KFC is gearing up to release the so-called Chizza in additional locations globally. On Feb. 7, an official twitter account for KFC Singapore shared numerous pictures and videos teasing the extremely indulgent menu item.

So what goes into a Chizza? A better question might be what doesn't go into a Chizza. The item starts with a layer of fried chicken in lieu of a traditional pizza crust. The fried chicken is then topped with pizza sauce, sliced chicken ham, mozzarella cheese, the brand's signature cheese sauce, and — in a controversial move — pineapple chunks. The polarizing ingredients actually remind us of KFC's infamous Double Down sandwich that featured two fried chicken pieces acting as buns.

While KFC has yet to say whether the Chizza will make a stateside appearance, the fact that the fast-food chain has begun introducing it in other locations certainly says something.

Would you try KFC's Chizza?
Yes — in a heartbeat!
Nope — food hybrids have gone a little too far.
