KFC is bringing back beloved items due to customers’ “obsessive demand[s],” the chain said.
The company faced fan approval after bringing back two beloved menu items in August and is now issuing the return of another product.
The Original Honey BBQ sauce is “one of the most requested menu demands of all time,” and will be returning to stores on October 6.
The “cult classic” can now be enjoyed on all KFC items, from sandwiches to tenders.
The fast food chain is bringing another major change at a cheap price.
KFC is offering a chicken sandwich topped with pickles and mayo, or spicy mayo for those wanting a bolder flavor, for just $3.99.
“With a price like that, you’ll think you’ve traveled back in time,” the press release said.
DEALS ON DEALS
Exclusive deals are also hitting the chain’s app and website for Rewards members.
For 13 days leading up to Halloween, members can unlock special offers like a free Classic Chicken Sandwich with a $10 purchase.
Other deals include 50% off a 12-piece chicken only bucket and a 50-piece nuggets for $20.
MORE ITEMS RETURN
The releases come after the chain leaned into more customer demands in August.
The brand’s potato wedges first hit stores in the mid-1990s, becoming a menu staple, earning “cult status” before it was discontinued in 2020.
“The wait is over,” the chain said.
KFC issued a ’90s era throwback, bringing the potato treat back to its menu nationwide.

Another fan-favorite item, the Hot & Spicy Wings, has returned to stores after nearly two years.
Both the wedges and wings are available while supplies last, “so get them while they’re hot and crispy,” KFC said.
“This isn’t just a nostalgic nod. It’s an example of how we’re turning feedback into action as we chart our Kentucky Fried Comeback, a bold, brand-wide rally to give people more reasons to fall in love with us all over again,” KFC President Catherine Tan-Gillespie said.
A family meal deal box featuring wings and wedges has hit stores.
