The story I read said they would be sold nationwide. It did not saying anything about marketing only to the black community.

I saw them in my mixed neighborhood market nod

I'm fine with chicken & waffles, but I am not so sure about the potato chip part

yeahthat

I get the chicken and the waffle together but adding salty potato chips to it is just too much flavor, and very very greasy. It seems like it will all cancel eachother out. ( I would like to try the cheesy garlic bread chips).

REVIEWED: Lay's new Chick...read chips

The new Lay's potato chips flavors: Sriracha, Cheesy Garlic Bread and Chicken & Waffles.

Lay’s recently introduced three new chip flavors that were about as far away from the classic BBQ, Sour Cream & Onion and Salt & Vinegar varieties than one could imagine. Spanning the globe for taste combinations, Lay’s unleashed chips flavored with regional-American food favorite Chicken & Waffles, Cheesy Garlic Bread and finally Sriracha, a Thai chili sauce. The three oddball flavors were the finalists in Lay's nationwide contest to find the next new flavor.

Nearly 3.8 million entries were submitted by chip fans and a board of experts — including Eva Longoria and Iron Chef Michael Symon — chose the finalists. Between now and May 4th, the three new flavors are for sale around the country and fans can vote on Lay’s Facebook page to decide which chip becomes a permanent member of Lay’s lineup.

Unfortunately for New York snack fiends, the chips aren’t currently available anywhere within a 50 mile radius of midtown Manhattan, according to Lay’s ownWeb site. But a Lay's spokesperson said that the chips will be on New York store shelves soon.

Despite the chips' limited availability The Post snagged the new flavors, here is our review:

New Lay's potato chips flavor: Chicken & Waffles.

Chicken & Waffles

By far and away the most polarizing chip offered, this regional classic was either loved or hated by those who tried it. “Guy Fieri status,” one unkind commenter wrote, “tasted like burnt ice cream cones” wrote another, while one said that they were simply “awful.” While others were left searching for words to describe their derision, others fell head over heals in love — with one fan calling them “brilliant!” and another saying they were “awesome.”

Upon opening the bag, it was clear to our taste tester that these sweet and salty treats were a totally new eating experience. Smelling distinctly of brown sugar and “buttery-rich syrup flavors” according to Lay’s, the chips themselves were rather mildly flavored, with just hints of salt and savory hidden behind the more robust sweet top note. Overall the fans of the chips were the type of people who liked mixing their dinner with dessert; in other words, the type of people who like the non-chip version of chicken and waffles.

Overall score: 3/10 -- If you like chicken and waffles you will love these oddball snacks, but if the idea of eating a predominantly sweet potato chips sounds gross, then stay away.

Comparable to: Nothing — doesn't come close to the original.

New Lay's potato chips flavor: Cheesy Garlic Bread.

Cheesy Garlic Bread

Garlic bread is the best part of any family spaghetti dinner, our tester emphatically explained as he was about to taste his first chip. Unfortunately, these chips don’t hold up when compared to any childhood memory. With an odd citrus note, which might have been an attempt to replicate herbs or the tang of fresh garlic, these chips elicited the least enthusiasm of the three entrants among Post tasters.

The one big point in favor of this emotionally disappointing chip was the “cheesy” part of the snack’s flavor profile. Not content with a single flavor, the Cheesy Garlic Bread chips went above and beyond the rudimentary flavor of something like Cheetos. Instead, Lay’s opted for a multi-layered taste that started with a pungent parmesan cheese-like bite and ended with a mellow, smooth and comforting macaroni and cheese finish.

Overall score: 4/10 -- our tester just couldn’t get past the overall oddness of the chip’s flavor.

Comparable to: Sour Cream and Onion.

New Lay's potato chips flavor: Sriracha.

Sriracha

These chips are a flavor journey that starts surprisingly sweet and ends with a slow burn. So slow in fact, that at first it was hard to tell that they were spicy at all. Then the back and edges of our taster’s tongue started tingling and he gleefully exclaimed, “Wow, these are actually pretty spicy!”

By far the most complex of the three chips on offer, these southeast Asian-inspired snacks were the runaway favorite of the Post’s staff but at the same time they were the least novel of the chips on offer. As one spicy chip connoisseur noted, “Kettle Chips have those jalapeno ones, and they are way spicier than these. But I’d eat these any day, they’re delicious.” Another tester was similarly conflicted but added, “These are the one’s I’d eat while watching a football game. With a beer.” Noted.

Overall score: 9/10 -- the only reason these didn’t get a perfect score was because there are so many direct competitors already on the market.

Comparable to: Spicy BBQ.

Nevertheless, the combination of the two (Chicken/Waffles) always seemed like an odd pairing to me. Not distasteful, just odd.

yeahthat Although, I never have tried chicken and waffles. If I were to eat them together, my opinion might change. Who knows. shrug

These companies are so wrong. Do not, I mean DO NOT put a picture of delicious food on a product, then offer me a facsimile of what is being sold. Honestly, I see that pic and I want to make my own waffles and buy my own chicken! Ruffles did the same thing with their BBQ chips: got a picture of a half-slab of succlent, meaty ribs while selling me a POTATO CHIP! Damn that! I want ribs now!!

I saw small bags (1 7/8 ounces) of Cheesy Garlic Bread chips at my local Walgreens, so I bought a bag. They are very good; I love them! drool They have the perfect blend of garlic and cheese flavoring. I'm going to have to buy a bigger size bag of them. I probably will eat them all in one sitting. lol They also had the Chicken and Waffles flavor. I'll have to buy a small bag of those too, just to try them. The bag says to vote to save your favorite flavor, so I'm going to have to start voting. I would hate to see the Cheesy Garlic Bread flavor be discontinued. pout

Midwest here....we would give a serious beat down to whomever tried to open up a Roscoes around here.

Question:

1. Do people generally order chicken and waffles together? Or is this a combo place, like a White Castles / Church's Fried Chicken? 'Cause together, that is some atrocious eating.

You Midwesterners don't even put Sugar in your Tea @ home and @ Public Eateries and y'all think that unsweetened tea is good..

And why are y'all AFRAID of seasoning your Foods with Salt & Pepper? And I dare to mention Fresh Garlic & other herbs cuz y'all swear that's too much work for a meal when all you gotta do it is wash the meat and throw it in the oven...

And what hurts my Heart is y'all still THINK Kraft Mac & Cheese is the BOMB....

All I gotta say is "Lawd please deliver midwesterners from Chef Boyardee...."

Well, I'm from the Midwest, and I always put sugar in my tea. And I love salt and pepper, garlic and other herbs in my food (definitely adds flavor to what I'm eating). Not all Midwesterners fall into that category.

You know what, them I would try, the big bag too.

Personally, I hate kettle corn, that syrupie-sugar and salt combo nauseates me, so my interest isn't even peaked with the whole chicken and waffles chips, but I've done Roscoes and a few other resturants gladly, no problem as food but not on a chip.

i bought the chicken and waffles last week, just to try them. i thought the voting was over, though, so i might have to pick up the other flavors and then vote so i can be fair! wink verdict? it wasn't worst thing i've ever had. i thought they came close to emulating the saltiness of the chicken and sweetness of the buttery, syrupy waffles. i only ate a few, like maybe ten. i brought the rest to work and put the bag on the kitchen table. they were gone within an hour and a half. i don't know if that's because my co-workers thought they were so good, or if it's because these people will eat anything that you put out on the table. (i think it's the second one.)

I've worked with people like that too. I'll never forget the one day I brought in a bag of candy to share with my co-workers. I put it on the kitchen counter with a note that said, "Help yourself". When I came back into the kitchen about 15 minutes later, the candy was completely gone. omg I think someone saw the candy and the note and thought to themself, "Don't mind if I do", and wound up taking all of the candy. That's how some folks are: if something is free, they will take it.

My favorite Southern word which I can't spell "trifflin" .

Trifflin' is the coworker who takes THE WHOLE damn bag which is for the whole staff to enjoy.

Trifflin' is the coworker who puts in in their kids lunch bag the next day.

Not sure if they are a test; there may be bigger bags of them too on the market. I need to start checking around, and post on here again if I find them in a regular size bag.
