Back in July, KFC announced that it was trying out a vegan chicken burger. The Imposter Burger came, it saw, it conquered, and now the fast food restaurant has announced it will be a permanent addition to the menu.

The tasty burger consists of a Quorn patty coated in KFCs signature blend of herbs and spices, with lettuce and vegan mayo in a soft glazed bun. Delicious.

You can get your hands on it in exchange for 3.99 of your hard-earned cash.

KFC has decided to make the vegan burger a permanent fixture after demand for it in July was 500% higher than predicted. In fact, KFC Gloucester Road in London sold roughly one burger a minute in the first few days following its launch.

Ira Dubinsky, from KFC UK and Ireland, said: The Colonel was all about welcoming everyone to his table now vegans, flexitarians and our fried chicken fans can all enjoy the taste of our Original Recipe together. Weve worked hard to perfect the flavour and make a Vegan Burger the Colonel would be proud of. Its the flavour of KFC, just with zero chicken.

Tony Davison, Head of Global Foodservice & QSR at Quorn added: The chance to co-create exceptional food with an iconic brand like KFC is a pleasure, to see the results launched with such enthusiasm is fantastic. The result does the Colonels recipe justice, truly transformational vegan food that KFC fans are going to love - a finger lickin vegan favourite.

As well as hungry fans being excited, animal rights group, PETA, are chuffed about the vegan burger too.

Dawn Carr, Director of Vegan Corporate Projects at PETA said: We are delighted to have played a part in KFCs journey to bring quick, affordable, vegan options to a new audience. There is no doubt this vegan burger will be a huge hit with the skyrocketing numbers of vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians around the UK. Clucking marvellous!
