That is something that licks your fingers printing.
KFC is creating a whole new restaurant concept, starting with a rather futuristic premise: 3D printed chicken.
STARTUP CREATES A PLANT BASED STEAK WITH A 3D PRINTER THAT MIMICALLY CLOSES ‘FAT, BLOOD AND MUSCLE’ OF ANIMALS
The international fast food chain has announced that it will launch the development of 3D bioprinting technology capable of creating chicken meat in association with the 3D Bioprinting Solutions research laboratory in Moscow, Russia.
The printing method reportedly uses chicken cells and plant material to reproduce a product similar in taste and texture to a real KFC product.

According to a study by the American Environmental Science & Technology Journal published in the statement, growing meat from cells can reduce greenhouse gases 25 times and use 100 times less land than with traditional meat.
The lab hopes to be the first to create lab-grown chicken nuggets that resemble the real thing in both taste and appearance. The printing method reportedly uses chicken cells and plant material to reproduce a product similar in taste and texture to a real KFC product, complete with breading and the iconic 11 herbs and spices.

A final product is slated for testing in the fall of 2020 in Russia.
“3D bioprinting technologies, initially widely recognized in medicine, are gaining popularity today in the production of foods such as meat. In the future, the rapid development of such technologies will allow us to make 3D printed meat products more affordable and we hope that the technology created as a result of our cooperation with KFC will help accelerate the launch of cell-based meat products on the market, “said Yusef Khesuani, co-founder and managing partner of 3D Bioprinting Solutions.
