Beyond Meat Inc. has another high-profile fast-food partner — KFC — to help the faux meat maker tackle a plant-based substitute for a different major protein source: chicken.

KFC, owned by Yum! Brands Inc., will test plant-based nuggets and boneless wings at one of its Atlanta restaurants on Aug. 27. The location will offer complimentary samples to customers who purchase other items.

“Customer feedback from the Atlanta test will be considered as KFC evaluates a broader test or potential national rollout,” KFC said in a statement.

Beyond Meat is rapidly appearing on restaurant menus across the U.S. and Canada as plant-based meat substitutes rise in popularity and chains like Dunkin’, Tim Hortons and Carl’s Jr. seek to lure in new diners. Competitor Impossible Foods Inc. has developed the Impossible Whopper with Burger King and sliders for White Castle.
