Smoky Mountain BBQ Sandwich
Part of a short-lived 2019 barbecue line in the US: crispy chicken with a thick, smoky barbecue sauce and pickles. It leaned on sweet smoke rather than heat and felt more like something from a Southern roadside stand than a fast-food chain. Gone quickly, but a good template for a home version.

About KFC
KFC began with Harland Sanders frying chicken for travellers at a roadside service station in Corbin, Kentucky, in the 1930s. The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in Salt Lake City in 1952, and the Colonel spent the rest of his life as the face of a recipe built on eleven herbs and spices that the company still treats as a state secret.
Around 30,000 restaurants in roughly 150 countries.
