KFC Is Bringing Back A Fan-Favorite Side Dish After 5 Years
Another chicken dish is also back on the Points KFC is bringing back its beloved potato wedges nationwide starting August 18 after a five-year absence. Hot & Spicy Wings, featuring a bold marinade and double hand-breading for extra crunch, are also returning. Both items are available for a limited time, with prices and availability varying by Colonel heard fans loud and clear, because KFC is bringing back their most requested side thanks to outcry from loyal customers. That's right—potato wedges are back on the menu nationwide starting August 18. '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., in a written release. '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." Joining wedges on their comeback tour are another fan favorite—KFC's Hot & Spicy Wings. "The wings pair a spicy marinade with double hand-breading in KFC's signature Extra Crispy flour, offering just the right amount of kick in every satisfying crunch and pairing perfectly with the crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside wedges," a release announcing the news stated. Prices and participation for the wedges and wings vary by restaurant and are only available while supplies last. KFC removed potato wedges from their menu in 2020, but brought them back earlier this year for a limited time in five Tampa locations. "Many factors go into selecting test markets, including representation of national QSR consumer trends for gauging customer feedback," a KFC spokesperson said in an email to Southern Living at the time. The spokesperson also stated at the time that any plans for a roll-out after the two-week Tampa run would be dependent on how things go during the test launch. Things must have gone well, because just five months later, consumers nationwide will be able to enjoy this beloved potato product. "They are one of KFC's most requested menu items," the KFC spokesperson said in March 2025. "Fans have been demanding and petitioning for them to return for five years," the spokesperson stated.

Witkoff meets with Putin over war in Ukraine, no ceasefire agreements announced
White House envoy Steve Witkoff landed in Russia on Wednesday for his fifth visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin as President Donald Trump looks to force a peace deal and bring an end to the three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine. Little seems to have been accomplished from the three-hour meeting in the way of securing a peace deal, or even circumventing the threatened sanctions by Trump that Putin now stares down, though according to Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov, the meeting was described as "useful and constructive." Ushakov said Putin "received some signals from Trump" and "sent some signals," but he did not elaborate on any specifics. The advisor also told reporters that Putin and Witkoff had discussed developing the "strategic partnership" between the U.S. and Russia but did not elaborate how. The comment came after Witkoff was spotted earlier in the day taking a walk near the Kremlin with Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president's envoy for investment and economic cooperation. Witkoff and Putin met shortly before noon in Moscow, according to the timestamp released by the Kremlin which accompanied an image of Putin and Witkoff smiling and shaking hands as Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov looked on. Witkoff's team did not respond to Fox News Digital's questions on what the envoy was hoping to accomplish in his meeting with Putin, though some reporting this week suggested he may look to secure a moratorium on air strikes. Witkoff traveled to Moscow in a last-ditch effort to get Putin to capitulate to Trump's and Western calls for an end to the war, though the Kremlin chief was not expected to make great concessions in ending his war ambitions ahead of the trip. In mid-July, while seated next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump promised to enforce "very severe" tariffs on Russia if Putin does not enter into a deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy within 50 days. "Tariffs at about 100%, you'd call them secondary tariffs," he had said, implying that nations who trade with Russia will see 100% tariffs slapped on them when trading with the U.S. He then pushed the date up to within 10 days of July 29, forcing the new deadline for Friday. But on Tuesday Trump walked back his 100% tariff threat amid tough trade talks with India and China, and said, "I never said a percentage." "We'll see what happens over the next fairly short period of time," he added in response to questions from reporters. "We have a meeting with Russia tomorrow. We're going to see what happens. "We'll make that determination at that time," he added. The tariffs would most drastically target China and India, which are the largest purchasers of Russian oil, though high tariffs on those nations, both of which are major traders with the U.S., would also mean higher prices for the American consumer.

Live updates: Putin hosts Trump envoy Witkoff for crucial talks on Ukraine peace deal
Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Wednesday, the Kremlin said, days before the White House's Friday deadline for Russia to reach a peace deal with Ukraine or potentially face severe economic penalties that could also hit countries buying its oil. The Kremlin did not immediately provide more details of the meeting. Earlier, Witkoff took an early morning stroll through Zaryadye Park, a stone's throw from the Kremlin, with Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president's envoy for investment and economic cooperation, footage aired by TASS showed. Dmitriev played a key role in three rounds of direct talks between delegations from Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in recent months, as well as discussions between Russian and U.S. officials. The negotiations made no progress on ending the three-year war following Russia's invasion of its neighbor. Trump's deadline for Putin ends on Friday. Washington has threatened 'severe tariffs' and other economic penalties if the killing doesn't stop.
