KFC launches chicken sandwich into space

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Kentucky Fried Chicken is taking its chicken sandwich to a level that is out of this world!

KFC launched its Zinger spicy chicken sandwich into space for a new ad campaign.

The sandwich is currently sitting aboard a high-altitude balloon and is expected to stay in the stratosphere for approximately four days.

The sandwich will need to maintain an altitude of about 50-80 thousand feet.
