AT least it won't clog your arteries - American fast food giant KFC is getting into the festive spirit with the launch of a new fire log designed to smell exactly like its signature fried chicken.
The KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog has been created in partnership with a firm called Enviro-Log and is being hailed as a major breakthrough.
"For more than a million years, mankind has been attempting to improve upon the simple fire," the promotional blurb states.
"We've tried burning different things like sticks or leaves or various incriminating documents.
"We've tried making fires last longer. We've even figured out how to turn them into different colours," it continues.
'All of that experimentation, all of that innovation, has culminated in this event, the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog," KFC concluded.
The limited edition log is only available in the USA and costs US$18.99 while supplies last - so people had better get in quick if they want to have a Kentucky Fried Christmas.
Fortunately for potential customers it also comes with a handy safety tip, with formal instructions advising "Please don't put face directly into fire in attempt to smell fried chicken".
