I had to try them both the minute they hit stores to see what all the uproar was about.
These wraps are a nod to the KFC Twister wrap that was available in the 2000s.
TheTwister wrapwas a larger wrap with the chain’s crispy chicken, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

A couple of versions are stillavailable overseas.
And don’t forget that KFC also carries the newStarry flavor from Pepsiif you are interested in trying that.
I grabbed the $5 two-pack and enlisted another person to help me try them.

Here’s what we thought.
The look:Sadly, this little wrap doesn’t look too appetizing.
The chicken is somehow grayish and the small chicken tender is dwarfed by the tortilla.

Maybe foil would have made for better packaging?
The taste:Thankfully, this wrap tasted better than it looked.
The chicken has those 11 herbs and spices that really peeked through the breading and tingled my tongue.

The mayo is enough, it moistens the wrap without overwhelming it.
However, the wrap would have been worlds better if the chicken tender was larger.
Spicy Slaw Chicken Wrap
The spicy version of the KFC wrap also has one chicken tender.
KFC really needs to make these with meaty tenders that have just been taken out of the fryer.
The slaw peeked out the front as did a hint of a pickle.
Same as the last one, the end of this wrap had more folded tortilla than anything else.
Overall
Both of these wraps would have been better if they were freshly fried.
They both tasted like they had been sitting for a while before being wrapped.
Plus, I wasn’t sure why the chicken had that off-putting grey hue.
It’s almost like KFC just grabbed whatever was around and threw it into a wrap.
That being said, the chicken is tasty enough, which improves the overall impression.
They have the potential to be amazing though with a little bit of TLC.
Either way,McDonald’sshould take note, the wrap gauntlet has officially been thrown.
