KFC puts fried chicken skin on the menu - but UK fans might be disappointed

Some say it's the best bit of the bird, but would you shell out just for the SKIN of some chicken?

The crispy, crunchy coating is the most poplar part of a KFC treat for many, so fast food chiefs in Indonesia decided to dispense with the rest and just sell fried skin.

Customers can decide to pass on drumsticks, thighs and breast and just go for the spice-coated skin.

There are currently no plans to introduce it in the UK or USA.

The decision to offer skin-only as a gourmet treat was announced by KFC's Indonesia Twitter page, which listed six locations in the country where it could be bought, according to a national newspaper.

However, there's been a mixed response with some customers claiming it was too salty, while others remarked that there wasn't enough seasoning.

One fan praised the skin-only idea.

They said: "It's different to what you'd expect as it's not the same as normal chicken skin, but the first bite is good. It's really crisp and crunchy! I'll definitely order again as a snack."

The fast food retailer recently caused a stir when it announced it also considering creating a plant-based fried chicken-style alternative for the menu.
