We talked about it a few months ago, and now it's officially going to happen, KFC's Cheetos Sandwich is coming to Rockford.

In January, MJ said:

The company is currently testing the sandwich in the south and hopefully, it will make its way up north soon.

The "soon" is next week, as of Monday, July 1 you can get your hands all over a Cheetos Sandwich.

Just like it was in the tests, this version will contain fried chicken, a pile of Cheetos, and a custom Cheetos sauce made by Frito-Lay.

If you think you can just skip the trip to KFC and make your own at home with a bag of Cheetos think again.

This is different than just mashing up Cheetos you can get in stores and a KFC sandwich specifically because of that sauce, which adds a level of sharp, cheesy flavor to it.

This salty monster is only available for a limited time and a price point has yet to be revealed.
