In an effort to get new customers and bring back old fans of Colonel Sanders's fried chicken featuring his 'legendary blend of 11 herbs and spices', the timeless chain is offering guests a free bucket of its crispy, savory fried chicken. That's right, not just one wing or breast—an entire free bucket. The Kentucky Fried Chicken folks are referring to it as a 'Free Bucket on Us,' a deal that gets you a free eight-piece bucket of Original Recipe fried chicken or tenders with a $15 or more purchase made through the KFC app or on (The offer must be redeemed prior to checkout.)

"We're well aware of the latest fried chicken rankings and I'm fired up to launch a bold Kentucky Fried Comeback and remind America exactly who we are.

What's new at KFC? Brand reveals free bucket of fried chicken promo, new comeback era menu items
KFC has launched a Kentucky Fried Comeback, complete with new menu items, a serious new look for the Colonel, a celebrity chef cameo, and a free chicken promotion, all in the name of reclaiming its position among competitors as the No. 1 fried chicken quick service restaurant. KFC announces Kentucky Fried Comeback KFC U.S. president Catherine Tan-Gillespie told "Good Morning America" that charting the course to help pivot this legacy brand "feels personal" to her, adding, "I'm incredibly passionate about getting the brand back to its rightful place on the fried chicken podium." As fast food restaurants vie for customers' attention and retention in the increasingly popular crispy chicken category, Gillespie said "it's the place to be, it's growing and the competitor intensity is definitely there." "Most incumbent brands and legacy brands, sometimes we lose some ground -- so now is the time to come back," she said of KFC's new turnaround strategy. The former CMO, who was named president in February, said she has a three-pronged approach: putting fans at the forefront, being more food obsessed, and modernizing the customer experience and pricing. KFC comeback includes free bucket of fried chicken promo, new menu items "We're no longer being chicken about our chicken," Gillespie said, before revealing the company's "most exciting promotion," free buckets of fried chicken. "We're so confident with the strides that we've been making on our menu with our launch of Original Recipe tenders -- that we're giving this offer away where all Americans can get a free bucket on us," she said. When customers spend $15 on the app or the website, they can get a free bucket of Original Recipe classic fried chicken or Original Recipe tenders. KFC also announced the launch of new fried pickles, another nod to the food-obsessed fans who are all about pickles this summer. The dill pickle slices are fried to golden perfection and served with the brand's signature Comeback Sauce or ranch. Gillespie also reminded consumers about the return of the popular $7 Fill Ups value meal, which offers four combination options: three-piece tenders, one-piece fried chicken, two-piece fried chicken -- which come with mashed potatoes, gravy, a biscuit, pie poppers and a medium drink -- or the Famous Bowl for just $7. Why KFC made Colonel Sanders serious As part of the comeback campaign, KFC flipped the Colonel's smile to serious in store signage and billboards, which Gillespie said indicates the brand is serious about winning back hearts and stomachs of fans. "The Colonel would not be happy about our market share," Gillespie said. "So this is to say we're serious about being back in the game. The Colonel's not going to be smiling until our customers are." Matty Matheson in new KFC comeback campaign The Louisville-based fried chicken chain tapped chef, restaurateur and TV star Matty Matheson to appear in a new spot that highlights Colonel Sanders as the original "chefpreneur" in his culinary quest to create the best fried chicken.

KFC Australia makes epic 'Christmas in July' menu announcement
It may be cold outside, but KFC is turning up the heat this winter with an epic Christmas in July campaign. From July 1st, KFC is launching 31 Days of Deals via its app, giving fans a reason to celebrate mid-winter with daily wallet-friendly offers on classic menu items. The campaign kicks off with 30 Nuggets for just $10, followed by 50 per cent off Zinger Burgers and 10 Hot & Crispy Pieces for $10 - with new deals dropping every day throughout the month. Each app purchase earns customers an entry into KFC's 'Get Lit Giveaway', which will see four lucky Aussies have their rent covered for a year. The deals are available nationwide (excluding South Australia) for pickup orders only, while stocks last. And for those spending over $30 in a single order, that's five entries in one go. The giveaway comes at a time when many Australians are feeling the pinch. While saving by bunking with family might be practical, it's not always ideal - especially when it means sneaking out dates or enduring awkward dinners. KFC is offering a tasty escape from the cost-of-living crunch, one chicken deal at a time. As if that wasn't enough to lift the winter blues, KFC is also bringing back its much-loved Christmas in July Feast. The special loaded box of festive favourites includes 10 pieces of Original Recipe chicken, 10 Wicked Wings, 10 Nuggets, a Maxi Popcorn Chicken, 3 Large Chips, Large Potato and Gravy, and 2 dipping sauces, all wrapped up in a limited-edition bucket. Also returning is the KFC Christmas in July merchandise range, including fun new additions like a Conversation Card Game. All proceeds go to the KFC Youth Foundation and its charity partners, Black Dog Institute and ReachOut Australia, supporting youth mental wellbeing. Sally Spriggs, Group Marketing Director at KFC Australia, said: 'Christmas in July is all about celebrating on your own terms. 'We're bringing back our epic deals all month long to keep the festive vibes high, plus we're giving four lucky KFC fans the ultimate gift - a year of free rent on us.' Whether you're saving for a place of your own or just craving a cheeky feed with mates, KFC's app-only daily deals and rent giveaway are here to help Aussies enjoy a little festive joy - without the financial hangover.
