KFC and Oreo Launch Fried Chicken-Flavored Cookies in China Oreo China and KFC introduced a limited-edition fried chicken-flavored cookie in China on July 31, 2026, as part of Oreo’s “Playful Time Travel” collection. The product replaces the brand’s signature sweet cream filling with a savory blend designed to mimic KFC’s Original Recipe seasoning, which includes 11 herbs and spices. The cookie retains Oreo’s chocolate wafers but features a center that replicates the taste of fried chicken without any meat. Each cookie also incorporates KFC’s branding, with the company’s logo replacing Oreo’s mark on one wafer. The packaging swaps Oreo’s dark blue for KFC’s red and white, incorporating fried chicken imagery alongside a stack of cookies. A second flavor, Retro Popcorn, was released simultaneously, available in 87g single boxes or a 174g combined pack. The items are sold on JD, a Chinese e-commerce platform, with no international release plans announced by either company. The collaboration marks another unconventional flavor experiment for both brands. KFC has previously launched quirky products, such as a gravy-flavored ice cream partnered with Hackney Gelato and a Simpsons-themed menu featuring a donut burger and a Squishee-inspired drink. Oreo has also ventured into unexpected territory, including a dill pickle cookie for April Fools’ Day 2026 and a Thanksgiving tin with flavors like Cranberry Sauce, Turkey and Stuffing, and Creamed Corn. This partnership with KFC aligns with Oreo’s active collaboration efforts in 2026, including a limited-edition release with K-pop group BTS. The BTS collaboration featured cookies with a creme evoking hotteok, a Korean street food, and included purple wafers with 13 embossed designs by the band.#bts #kfc #oreo_china #playful_time_travel #jd
