KFC is working with a Russian 3D bioprinting firm to try to make lab-produced chicken nuggets:
KFC is trying to create the world’s first laboratory-produced chicken nuggets, part of its “restaurant of the future” concept, the company announced. The chicken restaurant chain will work with Russian company 3D Bioprinting Solutions to develop bioprinting technology that will “print” chicken meat, using chicken cells and plant material.
KFC plans to provide the bioprinting firm with ingredients like breading and spices “to achieve the signature KFC taste” and will seek to replicate the taste and texture of genuine chicken.
It’s worth noting that the bioprinting process KFC describes uses animal material, so any nuggets it produced wouldn’t be vegetarian. KFC does offer a vegetarian option at some of its restaurants; last year it became the first US fast-food chain to test out Beyond Meat’s plant-based chicken product, which it plans to roll out to more of its locations this summer.
Bioprinted nuggets would be more environmentally friendly to produce than standard chicken meat, KFC says, citing (but not linking to) a study by the American Environmental Science and Technology Journal it says shows the benefits of growing meat from cells, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption compared to traditional farming methods.

Lab-grown meat is supposed to be inevitable. The science tells a different story.
Splashy headlines have long overshadowed inconvenient truths about biology and economics. Now, extensive new research suggests the industry may be on a billion-dollar crash course with reality.
[...] [In March], the Good Food Institute (GFI), a nonprofit that represents the alternative protein industry, published a techno-economic analysis (TEA) that projected the future costs of producing a kilogram of cell-cultured meat. Prepared independently for GFI by the research consulting firm CE Delft, and using proprietary data provided under NDA by 15 private companies, the document showed how addressing a series of technical and economic barriers could lower the production price from over $10,000 per pound today to about $2.50 per pound over the next nine years—an astonishing 4,000-fold reduction.
In the press push that followed, GFI claimed victory. "New studies show cultivated meat can have massive environmental benefits and be cost-competitive by 2030," it trumpeted, suggesting that a new era of cheap, accessible cultured protein is rapidly approaching. The finding is critical for GFI and its allies. If private, philanthropic, and public sector investors are going to put money into cell-cultured meat, costs need to come down quickly. Most of us have a limited appetite for 50-dollar lab-grown chicken nuggets.

From the same Wikipedia article:
The first stage of the production process for fetal bovine serum is the harvesting of blood from the bovine fetus after the fetus is removed from the slaughtered cow. The blood is collected aseptically into a sterile container or blood bag and then allowed to clot. The normal method of collection is cardiac puncture, wherein a needle is inserted into the heart. This minimizes "the danger of serum contamination with micro-organisms from the fetus itself, and the environment".[6]
So unborn calf blood...

So it's a lot less pretty the more you read.
About 1 million calves per year are drained of blood while they are still alive. I can understand that this is probably something we should be thinking of phasing out... definitely doesn't sound vegan (vampiric would probably be more accurate)...
Here's a more detailed description from van der Valk (2003) - (behind paywall)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14630056/ [nih.gov]
2. The welfare of fetal calves during blood (serum) collection
Collection of fetal calf blood (serum) occurs in some meat processing plants after the pregnant uterus has been removed from the slaughtered cow at the evisceration stage, which in different countries occurs at different times after the neck cut of the dam. It can occur as early as 5 min or as long as 25–40 min or more after slaughter of the cow (Jochems et al., 2002, Mellor & Gregory, 2003). Blood collection methods involve significant manipulation of the fetus, which in some cases may be suspended from an A-frame with application of an external device that simulates the pumping action of the heart while blood is drained from catheterised umbilical vessels, or the methods may be more invasive, involving insertion of a 12–16 gauge needle between the 4th and 5th rib into the fetal heart. Whatever the method used, if the fetus were to be aware (conscious) during the conduct of such procedures there is potential for it to experience significant pain and/or distress. This raises the issue of whether the fetus is likely to be aware, and if it is, what safeguards could be put in place to minimise any suffering it might experience during the blood collection procedure.

You might be able to distribute the buildings in or near all cities. Less travel time to get to the customers, less fuel costs, less pollution.
You will still have animal farming on a smaller scale, catering mostly to rich customers. There will still be Kobe beef, Amish-sold products, etc. But the 50 billion hamburgers that Americans eat annually will mostly come from lab-grown meat. All of the veal at the supermarket will be cruelty-free, and so on.
If milk, eggs, etc. can also be replicated with a lab process, then we just won't see animal slaughter on the scale we see today.
In the short term, products made of ground meat will go lab-grown first, since it will be much easier to make those than say, a t-bone steak.

Vegetarian option or not, you'd still be funding (albeit perhaps indirectly) some of the most brutal factory farming on a vast scale. Factory poultry farms often debeak their chicks and the animals may be fed growth hormones and often have so little space that they will pluck out their own feathers from the stress.

An alternative perspective.
If nobody tries KFC's new "Less cruel" alternatives, then they will deem them a commercial failure and go back to de-beaking and roiding up baby chickens.
I think it's encouraging that KFC is looking to move beyond farming. At the moment, this still requires the input of actual animal product, but I can see a future not too far off where the entire thing can be sustained without any living animal involvement (even if the original cells did come from animals).

I don't remember trying KFC chicken nuggets. I know they have popcorn chicken that is a little bit of chicken and a ton of breading.
They seem to want to replace bite-sized chunks of 100% breast meat with bioprinted cultured meat. So if you tear it apart, it is stringy on the inside just like whole pieces of chicken you cook yourself. This is harder to do than what McDonald's, Taco Bell, et al. would need to do to replace various forms of "pink slime" used in extruded chicken nuggets, hamburger patties, or ground taco meat. In their cases, they could use pure muscle cell strands in a slurry, and end up with a higher quality product than what they had before. Filler would likely be added, but it could be made of plants instead of trimmings, beaks, eyeballs, or whatever.
Replacing a slurry doesn't require "bioprinting" beyond the initial process that grows tiny strands of beef and chicken cells. Creating a cultured steak or something would require some kind of bioprinting, with fat cells for marbling and maybe even printed bone. That could end up being an order of magnitude more difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

I don't know what specific menu item KFC is trying to replace because I haven't eaten there in years. I know they have been serving more boneless chicken in recent years (their main product has always been fried chicken on-the-bone).
The Verge article says they are using "bioprinting" to create "replicate the taste and texture of genuine chicken". If their existing nuggets were made of scraps and meat glue like the McDonald's ones are, they wouldn't need to do that.

The can was somewhat accurately labeled. It was 100% chicken. Feathers! When all pureed and sopping wet, it looked and smelled like something a cat would eat. But when dried, the telltale structure of feathers emerged.

Lab-grown meat will have to taste similar or better than the meats it is replacing. Which should be a low bar in the case of the majority of meat consumed. Your McDonald's burger patty or chicken nugget is a great place to start.
There are numerous sources of low quality meats that could be targeted soon. Canned pet food, meat-flavored spaghetti sauce, canned chili, frozen burritos, frozen pizzas (sausage/beef bits), etc. Nobody is likely to notice cultured beef dropping into these [googleusercontent.com], unless there is a major improvement.
The lab-grown hamburger from 2013 was 100% muscle cells of a uniform nature. If you only use what you can grow in vitro, you actually have to go out of your way to make it a lower quality product. No feathers, beaks, or eyeballs, because they are more difficult to grow in the first place. It's a reversal that leads me to believe that quality can go up with the use of cultured meat, even if costs go down.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultured_meat#First_public_trial [wikipedia.org]
They presumably could have mixed fat and blood from another source into it to make it taste like a complete hamburger, but I guess they thought that it would defeat the purpose of the demonstration.
Consumer adoption of lab-grown meat will depend on a number of factors. Will there be an "ick" reaction once cultured meat starts being labeled on those low-quality products? Will it be cheaper? If not, your cat or dog won't be eating it, and it won't be in this [hunts.com]. Will the traditional meat/cattle industry lobby for laws that put it at a disadvantage, while blasting it in marketing campaigns, or will they embrace it? Cargill's investments [cargill.com] suggest there will be industry acceptance of it, although it could be slow and uneven. They may be trying to embrace, extend, ______ the plant-based meat alternatives too.
Most of what I mentioned above was about replacing ground meat. Texture (presumably "bioprinting" in TFA) is a level above in difficulty. Here's how I see it:
1. Slab of pure muscle cell strands (2013 demo)
2. Mixture of muscle strands, fat cells, and blood cells (ground beef, shredded/slurry chicken nuggets, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage)
3. Organization into textured tissues (chicken strips, pulled pork)
4. Everything replicated including vascular system and bones (all steaks, bone-in chicken)
5. Exotic/cannibalistic (human meat, organic metamaterials, whatever is fit to bioprint)
