PepsiCo and KFC today announced the launch of KFC x Doritos Loaded, a new street food-inspired menu platform rolling out across 27 European markets starting in August.
Bringing together two iconic brands, KFC x Doritos Loaded combines KFC's freshly prepared 100% chicken breast Crispy Tenders with the bold crunch of Doritos corn tortilla chips, layered with guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapeños and Mexican-inspired sauces.
Designed as a complete meal, the product is assembled fresh to order and served in a specially adapted Doritos bag that opens horizontally to create a convenient serving tray. The format is designed to help maintain temperature and texture whether enjoyed in restaurant, on the go or through delivery.
A new chapter in the PepsiCo-KFC partnership
The launch represents a significant milestone in the strategic Away From Home collaboration between PepsiCo and KFC, bringing together two globally recognized brands to create a distinctive new eating occasion.
Developed with both consumers and restaurant teams in mind, the platform combines bold flavors and quality ingredients with a streamlined preparation process that supports fast service and consistent execution across participating markets.
"With KFC x Doritos Loaded, we're bringing together two iconic brands to create a bold, flavor-packed street food-inspired experience," said Luiz Perl, Chief Marketing Officer, KFC Europe. "The combination of our freshly prepared Crispy Tenders, the signature crunch of Doritos and fresh toppings delivers a unique eating experience that takes 'Finger Lickin' Good' to a whole new level."
"This launch is a great example of how PepsiCo is expanding the role of our brands beyond traditional snacking occasions," said Pol Codina, SVP & GM, Global Food Ventures, PepsiCo. "Working closely with KFC, we've created a new menu platform that combines strong consumer appeal with the operational simplicity needed to scale across 27 European markets”.
