KFC® and Hatch Invite You to Fall Asleep to the Sleep-Inducing Sound of Fried Chicken
Introducing “Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain,” inspired by the sound of New KFC Original Recipe® Tenders, available on Hatch Restore 2 smart sleep devices
LOUISVILLE, Ky. /PRNewswire/ — Did you ever think you’d use the expression, “I could just cozy up to the sound of fried chicken?” Well, from ASMR social media channels to film and television production set rumors, the internet has recently unearthed the humorous phenomenon that the sound of cooking fried chicken sounds almost identical to the soothing, sleep-inducing sound of rain falling.
To further investigate, Hatch, a sleep wellness company that creates premium sleep audio content, and KFC®, the “OG” of fried chicken, have come together to release a new “Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain” content channel that can help lull you to sleep. The custom sound is available on Restore 2 smart sleep devices with a Hatch+ premium content subscription beginning today. Fried chicken and ASMR lovers will also be able to access the new “Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain” sound on the Hatch for Sleep and KFC YouTube channels as well as the Hatch for Sleep Spotify page.
The inspiration for the content channel came straight from Louisville, KY, where Hatch visited KFC’s headquarters and test kitchen to learn more about and capture the real sound of fried chicken. Hatch employees worked alongside KFC’s food innovation team to record the soothing sounds of frying KFC’s new Original Recipe® Tenders.
“At Hatch, we take pride in producing the most effective audio for sleep. When we kept seeing social media posts about the similarity between frying chicken and rain, we decided to make the absolute best version of that audio” said Eric Pallotta, CMO at Hatch. “And who better than the OG fried chicken experts themselves, KFC, to do it with! We’re so excited to see our customers’ reactions to this fun, quirky content and can help them fall asleep to fried chicken right before bed without ever taking a bite.”
“The taste and smell of our secret blend of 11 herbs and spices may be iconic, but who knew the sound of that delicious chicken frying could help you fall asleep?” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, KFC’s U.S. Chief Marketing and Development Officer. “Now in addition to enjoying the taste of our new KFC Original Recipe® Tenders, people can drift off to sleep thanks to the soothing sound of frying, with the ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain’ content channel on Hatch+.”
This unique brand partnership includes the new content offering, humorous “BTS” brand and social content from Hatch’s visit and recording session at the KFC test kitchen, along with co-branded products, including a Hatch x KFC Sleep Shirt, available for purchase at KFCShop.com. KFC Rewards* loyalty members will also be able to purchase a Hatch Restore 2 device at a special discount, so they can enjoy the content for themselves at home in bed (limit one per customer).
The Hatch x KFC partnership content is just one of the many offerings available in the Hatch+ premium audio library. From guided meditations to screen-free shows, to sleep stories and relaxing music, Hatch+ unlocks a world of sleep content options and offerings that can help the whole family get better rest.
KFC introduced its new KFC Original Recipe® Tenders nationwide on Oct. 14, with a bold battle cry to its tenders rivals. KFC’s new Original Recipe Tenders are double hand-breaded with KFC’s world-famous, top-secret blend of 11 herbs and spices and fried to golden perfection, making them deliciously crispy, juicy and flavorful. Fried chicken fans can score KFC’s new tenders at unbeatable value – for just $5**, customers will get three KFC Original Recipe® Tenders, Secret Recipe Fries and two of KFC’s signature sauces – customer’s choice of Comeback Sauce, Sticky Chicky, or KFC® Sauce.

A Savory Way to Start Holiday Celebrations
(Culinary.net) It’s the holiday season and your family can feel the cheer as loved ones fill their appetizer plates and excitement fills the air as gifts are being placed beneath the tree.
Someone asks, munching away near the table, “Wow, how did you make this?” In your mind, you think, “It was too easy.”
These Savory Cheese Balls are not only simple to make but perfect for any holiday get-together or celebration. They’re fun to create and even more enjoyable to dive in to once finished. Texture and color are the name of the game with this recipe. The result is a beautiful array of red, gold and green, all on one plate.
Start by rolling cream cheese into balls and mixing up three bowls with powerful flavors to create the three different colors. The “green” bowl gets parsley, thyme, rosemary and, of course, some garlic, just for an extra kick of seasoning. The “gold” ball calls for caraway seeds, poppy seeds and garlic. Finally, the “red” ball includes cranberries and pecans.
Simply roll each cream cheese ball around gently until it’s coated. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Display the array of cheese balls on a festive plate for something equally cheery and heavenly. Serve the plate with crackers, fruit or vegetables for complementary dipping options.
