KFC revives two fan-favorite menu items
Published: | Updated: Kentucky Fried Chicken is answering the prayers of fans across the country by bringing back two beloved classics – potato wedges and hot & spicy wings. The fast-food giant announced the return on August 11, declaring the items were 'officially back by obsessive demand.' Starting Monday, August 18, customers nationwide will once again be able to get their hands on the crispy, seasoned potato wedges and fiery wings. KFC couldn't resist sharing the news in dramatic style, posting 'HERE, DAMN.' on X — a post that's since been viewed more than ten million times. 'You asked (a lot), and we listened. Wedges are back,' the fast-food brand wrote, noting that fans had been 'clamoring' for their return for years through thousands of social media comments and even petitions. The wedges, first introduced in the mid-1990s, gained cult status in the late '90s and early 2000s before their controversial removal in 2020. When KFC tested a surprise reappearance in Tampa, Florida, demand was so high that some restaurants sold out early. While the wedges are making a comeback after a five-year absence, the hot & spicy wings are returning after nearly two years away. Both will be available for a limited time while supplies last. Customers can order wedges as a side, swap them in for another side, or opt for a new six-piece wings-and-wedges combo. KFC's Secret Recipe Fries will remain on the menu.
