Fried Pickles Return To KFC
The food world has been under a pickle spell for quite awhile, but if you think the trend is slowing down any time soon, think again.
Due to popular demand, KFC is bringing back fried pickles, a fan-favorite that enrobes pickle slices in the chain’s signature crunchy breading.
The relaunch includes the new KFC Signature Prickly Pear Lemonade, made with prickly pear cactus and designed to pair with the fried pickles. With their return, you’ll now be able to try them with the recently-debuted sauces: Jalapeño Ranch and Honey Chili Crisp.
“The pickle craze is here to stay,” said Melissa Cash, CMO, KFC U.S. “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.”
Rewards Members have the option of two new digital-exclusive snack box combinations for $5. Here’s the deets:
- Nuggets + Fried Pickles: Five golden brown chicken nuggets paired with eight fried pickles and your choice of sauce.
- Fries + Fried Pickles: A side of fries paired with eight fried pickles and your choice of sauce.
Fried pickles and KFC’s new Signature Prickly Pear Lemonade are available at locations nationwide.
