Kentucky Fried Chicken has announced that the fast foot chain is handing out free buckets of chicken, but there’s a catch.
The restaurant said the “Kentucky Fried Comeback” is planning to “return KFC to the top” as the number one chicken chain in the US. Fried chicken heats up the competition between fast food joints, whether it’s bread or wrap. Last week, McDonald’s reintroduced snack wraps, causing a friendly war with tortilla-wrapped chickens.
KFC’s fried chicken, made from Colonel’s “The legendary blend of 11 herbs and spices,” puts the company on the map. So, following operational advances to improve brand preferences and customer satisfaction scores, KFC said its kitchen is inviting customers to taste the difference – “Crispy, hot and undoubtedly original,” the restaurant said in a news release on Monday, July 14th.
“We’re well aware of the latest fried chicken rankings. I was fired to launch a bold Kentucky Fried Comeback, reminding America exactly who we are.” “If people can give us the original chance, I hope our fans will give us it… come back and give us the first bucket.”
Here’s how to get a free bucket of KFC chicken:
How to get a free KFC bucket of chicken
To get the Kentucky Fried Chicken Buckets offered at the fast food chain for free, fans will have to come online and spend $15 first.
“Free Bucket on Us” transactions are digital offers and available on KFC.com and the KFC app on online purchases of $15 or more (before taxes and other charges) in the Select Store via your KFC Rewards account.
The promotion ended on August 24th, with company spokesman Maria Schmitz telling USA Today on July 14th.
KFC said the offer must be redeemed before checking out. After customers try chicken, the company asks for feedback through the form on the website.
According to KFC, the transaction cannot be combined with other offers and the customer is responsible for taxes and fees.
KFC has announced plans to move its headquarters
KFC is currently headquartered in Louisville, but recently announced plans to move out of Kentucky.
In mid-February, owner Yum! The brand said it will establish two new brand headquarters in Plano, Texas and Irvine, California.
According to a February news release from the company, 100 KFC corporate employees moved to Texas this year, with 90 remote workers doing the same in early 2027.
