You know what's the worst combination if you have one after the other?
Soda and chocolate
That is really rank.

PepsiCo releases Pepsi chicken flavored Lays potato chips in China

There are lots of bizarre chip flavors in China. Larger supermarkets carry both local and international versions of Lays. The Chinese-targeted versions were cheaper and definitely didn't taste as good, even for the same flavors.
My personal favourite strange flavor would have to be a mushroom drink I saw in Shanghai.
Well shit, Black Wooden Ear (the direct translation) is a pretty common food in China. I did NOT know its name in English is actually Jew's Ear. hahaha
Edit: nor did I know they made a beverage out of it...ugh.

According to Wikipedia they're not the same species, although they are very closely related.
I recall the meaning having something to do with it being an ear-shaped mushroom that brings success/wealth. It seemed like a well-intentioned compliment that definitely doesn't translate well.
Another brand that I always saw at the nearby supermarket was this hilarious cookie box. Bought it as a present for one of my friends. They were quite good too, very similar to Milano cookies.
LOL China. You so crazy. Actually begs the question... Do people use pepsi on chicken when cooking it in china?

ok, seems like a common thing? Weird.
Kinda. They taste like a bbq chip with a hint of onion.

Supposedly these taste exactly like a Whooper.

These actually do taste like cheeseburgers, at least for the first few bites. Loses its effect beyond that.

Pretty sure that should say black fungus juice. At least I have a similar can up where that drink is suppose to come from.
Also, my wife is Chinese and she has cooked me chicken wings before with pepsi and coke so it is a thing.
I've been seeing adverts for these for ages actually, surprised it's only now hitting the news.
I'll see if i can grab a pack, not really a crisp eater but i'll try for GAF. Chinese crisps in general are quite weird, they have some bizarre flavours but also some surprisingly good crisps.

Maybe they just mean caramelised?
If you've never cooked a gammon joint in coke, you're missing out. Boil it in water for about 30 minutes, then boil it in full fat coke for another 40 or so minutes (depends how big the joint is, of course). It's utterly incredible. It doesn't taste at all like coke, but it's wonderfully sweet on the outside, mixing with the saltiness of the inside.

Probably like shit, just like Pepsi does.

Holy shit yes. The 7-11 Big Bite is legit. Also, their onigiri was the best you could find in Convenience stores.

They're not bad, not great either, just decent really. Wouldn't rush out to buy another pack. Whether they actually taste like Pepsi Chicken, I can't say having never eaten the dish. Certainly there is a hint of a Cola flavour in the after taste, otherwise they taste like a fairly standard 'meat'. flavoured crisp
Really the mixture of the Cola aftertaste with the chicken flavour taste most of all like Marmalade to me. Weird.

There is one mainstream chicken flavored snack I can think of that's sold in the US:

Honestly I can't think of one show that's funnier than Simpson's best.
I'm assuming it similar to a brine? As it breaks down the tough stringy part of the meat and leaves it soft and moist.

I've seen Cheeseburger and Pickle flavored chips before.
They had Larry the Cable Guy on the packaging.

Chinese exchange students staying with us have cooked chicken in coca-cola before. It's not unheard of.
Maybe if you're on the brink of death or choke easily.
