KFC Is Adding Chicken Nuggets to the Menu for the First Time Ever

And they look way better than McNuggets!

Just last month, KFC announced that it was simplifying its menu and removing one especially fan-loved item: the popcorn chicken. But, it seems when Colonel Sanders closes one door, he opens another because the restaurant is now releasing new chicken nuggets.

KFC began testing its Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets in 2022 and they were an instant success. So starting March 27, the new nuggets—made with KFC’s signature blend of 11 herbs and spices—will become a permanent menu item.

The new Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets will be available in 5-, 8-, 12-, and 36-piece options, as well as in a combo meal with KFC’s fries, biscuit, and a medium drink.
