KFC Is Bringing Back a Popular Dish We Haven’t Seen Since 2019

KFC fans, rejoice! The fast-food chain is bringing back a popular dish that hasn’t been seen since 2019. The dish in question is the KFC Famous Bowl, a mix of mashed potatoes, sweet corn, crispy chicken, and gravy, all topped with cheese and a three-cheese blend.

The KFC Famous Bowl was first introduced in 2006 and quickly became a fan favorite. It was discontinued in 2019, but now it’s back and better than ever. The new version of the bowl features a new and improved recipe, with a creamy, cheesy sauce and a blend of three cheeses.

The KFC Famous Bowl is available now at participating KFC locations. So if you’re looking for a delicious and filling meal, head to your local KFC and try the KFC Famous Bowl. You won’t be disappointed!

Hold onto your finger sporks! If you’re the kind of fried chicken lover that considers side dishes an equally important part of KFC’s finger-lickin’ experience, the chain has some delightful news for you. Particularly if you’re enamored with its Mac & Cheese.

Remember when KFC flipped the script on its most beloved side in 2019, turning the creamy, gooey bowl of macaroni into a meal? Well, the chain is doing it again! That’s right, KFC’s Mac & Cheese Bowls are back by popular demand, for the first time in three years.

The new item will feature crispy popcorn chicken chunks atop a bowl of cheesy macaroni, all of which gets sprinkled with even more cheese. And for those who can’t have their KFC grub without a kick of heat, the bowl also comes in a spicy version with chicken coated in smoky Nashville hot sauce.

Maybe the best part of the whole deal is that the bowls will be priced at $5, which is almost the same as when we first saw them in 2019. Back then, that price included a medium drink and a cookie to boot, while this time, it’s the price of the bowl alone. Those looking to turn it into a meal can add a side of fries and a medium drink for an extra charge.

Still, the great value of these “abundant” bowls is something KFC is emphasizing above all. “This meal is the epitome of hearty goodness and un-BOWL-eavable value at $5 for a limited time,” said Nick Chavez, the chain’s chief marketing officer.

While the official launch is slated for July 18 (meaning you’ll be able to get the bowls at nationwide KFC locations), the chicken brand is giving its most loyal fans a little sneak peek with early access. Starting today, you can try the Mac & Cheese Bowls when you place a digital order through the chain’s app or website. Not to mention, you can get free delivery via these channels through July 24.
