KFC brings back fan favorite menu item after 5 years
KFC brought an old favorite back this week when it reintroduced chicken and waffles to its menu. On Monday, April 28, participating restaurants once again began serving chicken and waffles after a more than five-year break from the item. The item comes as a combo, with a Liege-style waffle, KFC fried chicken, and a side of Mrs Butterworth syrup. The combo starts at $7 but may be different based on location. The restaurant is bringing the menu item back now in anticipation of Mother's Day. '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 told McClatchy News. It noted that Mother's Day is its biggest day for deliveries and online orders. Like many fast food items, KFC's chicken and waffles has die hard fans who were saddened when the menu item disappeared more than five years ago. Those longing for more KFC chicken and waffles even started a petition to bring it back, though it's unclear if that had any influence on the restaurant's decision. Unfortunately for them, it seems like KFC is only going to be bringing their favorite meal back for a short time. A KFC spokesperson told McClatchy News the iteam will be available for a limited time and only while supplies last. KFC is also introducing Strawberry & Créme Pie Poppers which have strawberry and cream filling in a pie crust as a new dessert. Elsewhere in the world of fast food and fried chicken, McDonald's is reportedly going to add its new "McCrispy Strips" — chicken fingers — to its permanent menu beginning on May 5 at participating restaurants. That makes the chicken strips the first new permanent menu item at McDonald's in four years. The fingers will come with a creamy chili sauce for dipping, according to an April 24 press release.

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. Find your nearest KFC here.
