KFC's Potato Wedges Are BACK! Fans Rejoice After Years of Waiting!
Get ready, potato lovers! KFC has officially brought back its beloved Potato Wedges after a five-year hiatus. The fast-food chain listened to the overwhelming demand from fans who have been clamoring for the return of this iconic side dish.
The return of Potato Wedges isn't the only exciting news. KFC is also bringing back its Hot & Spicy Wings! These wings are marinated in a spicy blend and double hand-breaded in KFC's signature Extra Crispy flour, offering a satisfying crunch with a kick.
"Wedge-lovers, we heard you—and we agree it's been five long years without wedges. But the wait is over," said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President, KFC U.S. "This isn't just a nostalgic nod. It's an example of how we're turning feedback into action as we chart our Kentucky Fried Comeback, a bold, brand-wide rally to give people more reasons to fall in love with us all over again."
Why Were Potato Wedges So Popular?
KFC first introduced Potato Wedges in the mid-1990s, and they quickly became a menu staple. They gained a cult following in the late 1990s and early 2000s before being discontinued in 2020. The crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside texture and unique flavor profile made them a fan favorite.
How to Get Your Hands on Wedges and Wings
The Potato Wedges and Hot & Spicy Wings are available at KFC locations nationwide, starting August 18th, while supplies last. You can enjoy the wedges on their own, substitute any side for wedges, or try the new six-piece wings and wedges combo, which includes a medium drink.
Don't Worry, Fry Fans!
For those who prefer the classic KFC fries, Secret Recipe Fries will still be available on the menu. So, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
So, head to your nearest KFC and grab some Potato Wedges and Hot & Spicy Wings before they're gone! This is a limited-time offer, and you don't want to miss out on this delicious comeback.
