Joining potato wedges on the national menu are KFC's Hot & Spicy Wings. According to the company, the wings are prepared with a spicy marinade and double hand-breading in KFC's Extra Crispy flour, offering 'just the right amount of kick' and pairing with the 'crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside wedges.'
Prices and participation for both menu items will vary by location, and the products will be available while supplies last.
Live Events
KFC removed potato wedges from its US menu in 2020. Earlier this year, the company reintroduced them for a two-week test in five Tampa, Florida, restaurants. '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 company said any nationwide rollout would depend on the success of the Tampa test. In March 2025, a KFC spokesperson said potato wedges were among the chain's most requested items. 'Fans have been demanding and petitioning for them to return for five years,' the spokesperson stated.

In the grey market, the company's shares are commanding a healthy premium of about 34% over the IPO price, indicating strong listing-day expectations. If the trend sustains, the stock could list near Rs 94 per share, rewarding investors with substantial listing gains. Highway Infrastructure operates across three business segments: tollway collection, EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects, and real estate development. Live Events The tollway collection business is the company's primary revenue driver, with operations spanning 11 states and one Union Territory. It is among the few operators in India to deploy Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, alongside RFID-based Electronic Toll Collection systems. As of August 2024, the company had completed 24 tollway projects and was operating seven more. Its EPC portfolio includes roads, bridges, irrigation structures, and building projects, with 63 projects completed and 20 ongoing as of August 2024. The company also undertakes selective real estate developments, mainly residential projects. Financially, the company reported a revenue of Rs 504.48 crore in FY25, down 13% from FY24, but net profit rose 5% to Rs 22.40 crore. IPO proceeds will be primarily used to fund working capital requirements of Rs 65 crore, with the balance earmarked for general corporate purposes.
