“I think I like eating with my hands,” he said, adding that there was something “caveman” about it.

KFC decided to capitalize on the viral moment, launching a new fast food offering – no fork required.
The series launches a $20 to build a bucket A customizable treat that can be shared with friends or consumed over the sink.
The package includes eight pieces of bone-in or tender chicken, four sides, four biscuits, and up to four sauces.
