LONDON -- Doughnuts are pretty awesome. Whether they're topped with frosting and sprinkles, filled with sweet, sticky jam, or even made from croissant pastry, there's a lot to get your teeth into.

One British restaurant has decided that doughnuts aren't enough as is, so it's bringing an extra ingredient into the equation: meat.

Chefs at Brazilian barbecue restaurant Cabana have created the spicy Malagueta chicken doughnut recipe, by adding spicy shredded chicken to the inside of a pão de queijo -- a Brazilian cheese roll. 

The doughnuts are then baked in an oven, making these slightly healthier than your average deep-fried doughnut. 

It wouldn't be a doughnut without a dusting of sugar; so these doughnuts are polished off with a sprinkle of icing sugar. 

The Malagueta chicken doughnuts are available in Cabana restaurants nationwide, priced at £5.45 ($7.94) for a basket of six.
