We had a sampling of a little of everything at a media event at the Central Washington State Fairground. Everything was fantastic from the chips to the fries to the funnel cakes and bacon-wrapped chicken -- it was all excellent. They had a few unique items as well. One stood out to me as the one to look out for. Something I never pictured but when I was presented with it I knew I had to at least try it.

Beyond the BBQ and the elephant ears and more there are some fun 'fair food' items that you won't find anywhere else. Pock Rock Chicken. It's popcorn chicken sprinkled with pop rocks.

Yes, Pop Rocks.

I thought it was unique enough at first but when I tried one it was more than just popcorn chicken sprinkled with pop rocks. There was another ingredient that I couldn't place my finger on. Maybe it was honey? I'm not sure but the popcorn chicken was a little sweeter than traditional popcorn chicken. When you add the fun of pop rocks to this it made it a very fun experience.

When you're at the Central Washington State Fair this year, look out for these. They're pretty amazing.

And check out all the rides you'll see at the fair this year, too!

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
