Floridians who want fried chicken that they don't have to cook themselves have plenty of options. From what has been named Florida's favorite fast food restaurant, Chick-fil-A, to the Publix deli, there are quite a few ooptions. However, Floridians in the Orlando area who enjoy Kentucky Fried Chicken might be interested in knowing that the chain will be testing some new items in this market - from new biscuits to wraps and sauce.

About Kentucky Fried Chicken: This longtime chain began with humble beginnings in the 1930s when Harland Sanders began serving fried chicken out of a service station. The cooking technique used in the original station is still used today. There are currently over 24,000 KFC stores around the world - 286 of which are in Florida.

One of the stores chosen for testing - a store located at 6041 S. Goldenrod Road, - receives 3.6 out of 5 stars on Google reviews. Many complaints were about customer service. However, some had nice things to say, like Nellie, who wrote:

"Enjoyed the $20.00 deal. It consisted of 6 chicken parts, 4 individual sides, and 4 biscuits. It was delicious. Also, the service was pretty fast. Very clean, pleasant atmosphere."

What Floridians Will Be Testing: Floridians in the Orlando market will be testing new biscuits that are slathered with butter both before and after cooking, classic and spicy wraps, a new zesty comeback sauce, a simplified menu, and a new interior that is intended to be "more Instagrammable."

The Orlando market was chosen because many stores there are corporate-owned. This is unusual as 99% of KFC's are owned by franchisees.
