The products will be tested at a KFC location in Atlanta starting Tuesday. KFC will use customer feedback to determine whether to conduct a broader test of the product or to roll it out nationally.

"KFC Beyond Fried Chicken is so delicious, our customers will find it difficult to tell that it's plant-based," said Kevin Hochman, president and chief concept officer, KFC U.S., in a press release.
