Scots vegans will be able to get their hands on KFC’s plant-based chicken burger once again for the first time during lockdown.
The snack was a notable omission from the fast food chain’s limited menu as restaurants started to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But it will be available to buy again at six of KFC’s Scottish restaurants from August 24, reports the Mirror.
The burger, which is a plant-based take on the firm’s popular Chicken Fillet burger, is made up of a Quorn fillet that is caked in KFC’s signature blend or herbs and spices before being topped with lettuce and vegan mayo inside a glazed bun.
It has gone down a hit with vegans and carnivores alike since its introduction to the chain’s menu earlier this year.
A KFC spokesperson said: “Our vegan and flexitarian fans were sadly denied their favourite meat-free treat during lockdown, but now it’s back and it’s time to celebrate.
"Our kitchen teams having been working hard to adapt to the new safety measures in restaurants, but we reckon now is the right time to unleash one of our fan favourites. We can’t wait to reunite with our vegan friends – we’ve missed you!"
The KFC Vegan Burger will be available to buy at six Scottish restaurants, but the fried chicken gurus have confirmed that this number will grow in the future.
Below is a list of the KFC branches that will be selling the Vegan Burger from next week.
