KFC's Fan-Favorite Menu Items Make a Tasty Comeback!

On August 18, 2025, it's official news! After a long wait of five years, KFC has brought back some much - loved menu items.

KFC's Comfort Food Magic

KFC is known for its down - home comfort food. Whether it's the signature fried chicken with that secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, mashed potatoes and gravy, or buttery biscuits, every order feels like it's from grandma's kitchen.

But sometimes, we question KFC's decisions. In 2020, to focus on core items like fried chicken, sandwiches, and tenders, they simplified the menu. Many fan - favorites were removed, including the OG Famous Bowl with popcorn chicken.

However, it wasn't the end for those items. Since then, KFC has brought back the Famous Bowl with new chicken nuggets and added lots of new dishes, even some previously discontinued Nashville Hot offerings.

Potato Wedges Return Nationwide

KFC's Potato Wedges are a dream for potato lovers. They're crispy on the outside and tender inside, and are great for dipping in KFC's gravy and sauces.

After they were discontinued in 2020, fans started a petition on the internet. It now has over 8,100 signatures. KFC has finally answered the fans' calls. This time, the Potato Wedges are back in restaurants across the country. But here's the catch: they're only available for a limited time, while supplies last. You can order them as a side dish or on their own.

Hot & Spicy Wings Are Back Too

KFC isn't just bringing back the wedges. The legendary Hot & Spicy Wings, absent from menus for nearly two years, are also back. These wings have a spicy marinade and are double - hand - breaded in KFC's signature flour for a great kick and crunch. You can enjoy them with the fluffy potatoes.

If you want to try both, KFC has a wings and wedges combo. Prices and availability vary by location.

Both the crispy Potato Wedges and the crunchy Hot & Spicy Wings hit the menus on August 18. So, don't miss out, especially if you signed that petition!
