KFC has answered our prayers with the return of a crowd favorite: Kentucky Fried Chicken and Waffles. The beloved fast food chain announced Thursday that due to a high volume of requests, fans will have another chance to indulge in the popular sweet and savory menu addition.
"We expected people would love Kentucky Fried Chicken & Waffles when we launched it in 2018, but we underestimated how much love there would be," chief marketing officer Andrea Zahumensky said in a statement. "So, we're bringing it back just four months later. Too soon? Not a minute." You're not wrong, Andrea. We've been waiting!
The limited-edition item, which pairs the Colonel's iconic extra crispy chicken with Belgian-style waffles, is served up one of two ways: as a basket meal or as a sandwich. While both are available for just under six bucks and are served with a side of Mrs. Butterworth's sweet syrup, the Big Basket Meal is where it's at. For $7.99, the "hungriest chicken and waffle enthusiasts" can score two waffles, two syrups, and a choice of two-piece white meat, three-piece dark meat, or four-piece tenders. I mean, you've got to get your fix while you still can.
Initially debuting in June 2018 and then returning shortly thereafter, the southern delicacy was an instant hit amongst KFC fans. Though the promo was set to run longer, several locations sold out in as quickly as two weeks. So, if you're invested in the chicken and waffle return, you better hit your local chain ASAP.
