KFC brings back fan favorite not seen in more than 5 years. What to know
KFC is bringing a brunch classic back to its menu for the first time in years.
Customers can get their first bites of chicken & waffles, available Monday, April 28, at participating restaurants nationwide, according to the Kentucky-based chicken chain.
The combo — featuring KFC's 'secret recipe' fried chicken paired with Liege-style waffles and a side of Mrs. Butterworth's syrup — had been missing from the menu for more than five years before making its anticipated return ahead of Mother's Day, KFC said in a news release.
The chicken and waffles combo starts at $7, though pricing may vary by location.
'KFC sells hundreds of thousands of buckets of fried chicken each Mother's Day, making it one of its most popular days of the year,' the restaurant said, adding that the holiday is also its 'biggest day' for delivery and online orders.
Popular among fans, KFC's chicken and waffles was once the subject of an online petition urging the fast-food chain to 'bring this masterpiece back!'
'This decadent meal used to be served in two options: as a sandwich topped with a hot honey sauce, or as a platter drizzled with Mrs. Butterworth's thick and rich syrup,' the organizer wrote.
KFC didn't say if the chicken and waffles is a limited-time item, or if it's here to stay this time around.
McClatchy News reached out to KFC on April 28 and was awaiting a response.
Those in search of dessert can also try the new strawberry & creme pie poppers, made with a strawberry and cream filling inside a bite-sized pastry, the restaurant said.
Pricing information wasn't immediately available.

Honest mom is ‘pissing off a lot of men' by explaining why many women have a low sex drive
She's got the receipts — and the rage. A fed-up mom is going viral after revealing the not-so-sexy equation behind her nonexistent libido, or sex drive — and some men are fuming. '(Hours of Sleep + Number of Real Meals Eaten While Seated) x Partner Support ÷ Number of Annoying Comments He Made — Number of Times Touched by Children = Mom Libido,' Houston-based mom-of-two Maddie Muhs calculated in a now-viral Instagram video, uploaded last month. Advertisement And the answer? 'Not an f—ing chance,' she concluded, after walking through a sample calculation that included eight hours of sleep, three full meals, helpful husband duties — and about a thousand toddler touches. Advertisement Muhs, a talent agent and mom of two toddlers, says her husband had 'no notes' on the formula — though he warned she'd 'piss off a lot of men.' 'And I did,' she told in a recent interview. In fact, her post turned into a full-blown battle, with some people cheering in the comment section: 'Yes!!! I just sent this to my husband!' Some joked, 'We gotta find a way to add in how long the husband takes to poop.' Advertisement 'Women in stem,' wrote someone else. Others were furious and branded the mom 'a trap.' 'Don't get married and have kids if you refuse to meet your husband's needs. Definition of a trap right there. No love in your relationship,' one commented. Another whined: 'Women using this as an excuse to not have sex with their husband, but also don't want their husband having sex with anyone else.' Advertisement Muhs, who says post-baby pressure isn't just about snapping back into pre-baby jeans — but into bed — pointed out to the outlet that 'male hormones are wired one way — it's always sex, sex, sex.' But for moms? Hormones, exhaustion and clingy kids are part of the 'touched out' cocktail. One mom's viral libido formula is leaving some men on Instagram steamed — and not in a sexy way. Koegelenberg Coop/ – As The Post previously reported, Aussie sex therapist Aleks Trkuljia says libido isn't one-size-fits-all — and comparing yours to someone else's is a losing game. Instead, she urges folks to watch for shifts in their own desire or a drop in intimacy compared to what used to be the norm — and communicate their needs to their partner. If you're ever trying to reignite a spark, it's also best to figure out what snuffed it out to begin with. 'If you're in a context where the quality of your relationship is high and there's a sense of physical, spiritual and psychological safety, then you're likely to be more open to a sense of desire and libido,' she explained to Apart from self-discovery and being open with your beau about your needs, there also might be another solution regarding a decrease in libido — scheduling your romps. Advertisement As The Post previously reported, Aussie sex therapist Aleks Trkuljia says libido isn't one-size-fits-all — so stop comparing yours to everyone else's. It's a no-win game. Antonioguillem – As The Post previously dished, penciling in hanky-panky a few times a week has been the secret sauce keeping one Upper West Side couple going strong for 31 years. 'It's made our relationship one million times better,' Jay Lyons, an Emmy-winning director and producer, said. He and his wife Sofia, now in their early 50s, started calendar sex not long after saying 'I do' and popping out two kids in the '90s. Advertisement They're part of the 14% of couples who swear by sultry scheduled sessions, according to The Knot. Even celebs are on the clock — Jenna Bush Hager and Amy Schumer both admit to timing their trysts, while Nick and Vanessa Lachey lock in 'hump day' for exactly that. Turns out, the real secret to keeping the flame alive might just be setting an alarm for it.

He set about renovating the spot and renamed the watering hole The Farmer's Dog in recognition of his pets and his nearby farm, Diddly Squat. The Chadlington-based farm is the subject of the Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm which was initially released in 2021.

Problems saw several members of staff walk out from the pub, which was addressed in a candid conversation between Mr Clarkson and land agent Charlie Ireland READ MORE: Jeremy Clarkson BANS customer from Cotswolds pub after complaint The Farmer's Dog pub in the Cotswolds.

They told Jeremy: "Everyone is exhausted, even when we say go for a break, there is no staff room. "The kitchen is about to go pop, those chefs have had it.... It might be worth popping into the kitchen." Despite the initial problems and hectic opening, the pub has found its feet and has been regularly welcoming healthy numbers of punters to the site with a full team on hand to meet the demand.

Patrick Mahomes' Wife Brittany Mahomes Shares Heartfelt Post on Tuesday
Brittany Mahomes is showing her kids the importance of staying active from an early age. The certified personal trainer and wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, recently brought one of her children along to a workout session with Kristy Rae. "I'll never stop saying how important it is for your children to see you leading by example and taking care of yourself. It teaches them more than words ever could," wrote Rae on her Instagram story on Tuesday afternoon. "@brittanylynne you're such a good mama." The video on Rae's Instagram story included Mahomes and her two-year-old son, Bronze, lying down on the ground doing a leg workout. Mahomes then reposted Rae's Instagram story, with the caption "My boyyy." It is not surprising that Mahomes is showing her children how important exercise is at a young age. During the pandemic, the mother of three used to post workout and fitness content on her Instagram. Before marrying Patrick Mahomes and starting a family, she played soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler and signed on to play professionally with UMF Afturelding/Fram in Iceland after she graduated with a degree in kinesiology in 2017. After playing professional soccer for one season, she decided to move back to the US to support her husband on his NFL journey. On Sunday, the family celebrated Mother's Day, and Mahomes posted a video of her children jumping around in a bouncy house on her Instagram story. Beyond her fitness endeavors, Mahomes is a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, a National Women's Soccer League team, and she continues to be an advocate for women's sports and community wellness.
