Kentucky Fried Chicken takes home some Oldies on its latest menu products, but they get back their merchandise.
The fast food chain announced on August 11 that potato wedges and hot and spicy wings have “officially returned due to obsessive demand.” Returning menu items will be available for purchase at KFC restaurants nationwide starting next week.
KFC couldn’t keep the good news for themselves and couldn’t write “Shit this one.” X-posts are currently being viewed over 10 million times.
“You asked (a lot), we listened. The wedge is back,” KFC wrote.
According to KFC, they have heard that they “scream” the chance to taste the potato wedge (again) through thousands of social media comments and petition signatures.
“When KFC fired a surprising wedge in the Tampa, Florida market, local fans were delighted and sold out early in a few restaurants,” the fast food chain said. “KFC first introduced potato wedges as a menu staple in the mid-1990s and achieved cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The wait time for KFC potato wedges (and wings) is over. Here’s what you need to know about their long-awaited returns, including how to get them.
Potato Wedges, the wings will return soon with KFC
KFC’s potato wedges will return to the menu on Monday, August 18th, in addition to their hot and spicy wings.
“Wedge will make a comeback in five years, but the Wings will win almost two years later, both will be available.
Customers can buy a side of the wedge, replace any side of the wedge, or try it out with a new 6-piece wing and wedge combo. (FYI: Secret Fries of Recipe are still available on the KFC menu.)
In addition to the menu items returned, KFC offers “Crave-Worly Worlsy Geals” this season, designed to bring a huge flavour without breaking the bank.
