KFC has welcomed back Chicken & Waffles, its popular sweet and savory menu item, to restaurants in the United States for the first time in over five years. Its original recipe fried chicken is served with thick, golden brown waffles with pockets of pearl sugar, paired with sweet syrup. As an added treat, the fast food chain is introducing Strawberry & Crème Pie Poppers with strawberry and cream filling in a flaky crust.
“We believe Chicken & Waffles is an American icon. Flavorful, juicy and freshly fried secret recipe chicken, paired with sweet, golden waffles and gooey syrup — it’s bold and delicious,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, president of KFC US.
As the dynamic duo returns to menus, KFC is sweetening the deal with a suite of wallet-friendly deals, including:
• $7 Tenders and Waffle Box, boasting three juicy and crispy original recipe tenders, a Liège-style waffle, and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup.
• $7 Two-Piece Fried Chicken and Waffle Box, featuring two pieces of original recipe or extra crispy fried chicken (drum and thigh) with a Liège-style waffle and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup.
• $25 Chicken & Waffles Fan Favorites Box boasting four pieces of fried chicken (or six tenders), 12 KFC Nuggets, four Liège-style waffles, two individual fries, and a choice of four syrups or dipping sauces.
