Key Background
KFC brought back two cherished addict pets Potato Wedges and Hot & Spicy bodies — to caffs across the country starting on August 18, 2025. The action has been ate with open arms by pious suckers who have call for the particulars’ return vociferously.
Potato Wedges had long been a fixed side dish until it was sliced in 2020 and replaced by Secret Recipe Fries. The move was greeted with collective backlash at the time, with the public signing a petition for its revival. Similarly, Hot & Spicy Wings, one of the most popular snack menu items, was removed from the menu in recent times, creating constant social media buzz for its return.
Earlier this spring, KFC tested the return of Potato Wedges at some Tampa, Florida restaurants. The test was a success, with good sales and better-than-expected response, prompting the company to launch the products across the country. The move falls under the “Kentucky Fried Comeback” offer — a bid to win back the customers by listening to them and doing what they tell the company to do, says company officials.
National rollout will feature promotional value items for buzz. Potato Wedges are available as a side option or in combo meal pairs, such as the Wings & Wedges combo box. Value offerings like a $3.99 chicken sandwich, Wings & Wedges Fan Favorites Box, and a digital-only “20 Wings for $20” offer starting early September will be provided by KFC.
In reviving these classic pets, KFC is doing further than simply satisfying nostalgic palates, still. It’s also enhancing its competitive posture in the fast- food request, where brand heritage and fidelity are still among the most influential motorists of growth.
