Back by popular demand, KFC restaurants in the United States are returning fried pickles to the men. The fried chicken chain is serving up a new lineup led by the return of its popular fried pickles, including new digital-exclusive snack combinations built around snackable pairings and Prickly Pear Lemonade to wash it all down.
“The pickle craze is here to stay,” said Melissa Cash, chief marketing officer of KFC’s Plano, Texas-based US operations. “The response to our fried pickles last summer proved that demand is still strong. We’re building on that momentum by bringing them back to our menu. This time, fans can pair their fried pickles with our bold new sauces and a refreshing lemonade. It’s a craveable lineup of savory, spicy and cool flavors.”
Fried pickles are available at KFC outlets nationwide in an eight-piece order served golden fried with one’s choice of dipping sauce, including recently debuted Jalapeño Ranch and Honey Chili Crisp options.
The fried chicken brand is also introducing two new digital-exclusive snack box combinations built around fried pickles, as detailed below.
• Nuggets + Fried Pickles: Five chicken nuggets paired with eight fried pickles and a choice of sauce.
• Fries + Fried Pickles: A side of fries paired with eight fried pickles and your choice of sauce.
Just in time for NBA basketball’s biggest moments of the season, KFC is also launching a limited-time offer for Rewards Members entirely designed for dunking. Featuring five tenders and two dipping sauces for just $5, the new deal is being promoted as an “easy game-day order for solo watch parties and dipping throughout the action.”
Customers may also opt for the new $5 Chicken Variety Box, which includes two pieces of chicken, five nuggets, a dipping sauce and a drink.
