After relentless fan demand, KFC gives the people what they want

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- People called, and the Colonel is answering. KFC's beloved Potato Wedges and top-rated Hot & Spicy Wings are officially back by obsessive demand beginning Aug. 18 at KFCs nationwide.

For years, KFC has heard from fans clamoring for a chance to try their famous Potato Wedges again, through thousands of social media comments and petition signatures. When KFC fired up a surprise drop of wedges in the Tampa, Fla. market, local fans were elated, leading to an early sellout in some restaurants. KFC first introduced Potato Wedges in the mid-1990s as a menu staple, earning cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before a hotly debated discontinuation in 2020. 听听

Joining Potato Wedges in their long-awaited return are KFC's legendary Hot & Spicy Wings. The wings pair a spicy marinade with double hand-breading in KFC's signature Extra Crispy鈩� flour, offering just the right amount of kick in every satisfying crunch and pairing perfectly with the crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside wedges. While wedges make a comeback after five years, wings make their triumphant return after nearly two years鈥攂oth are available while supplies last, so get them while they're hot and crispy.

"Wedge-lovers, we heard you鈥攁nd we agree it's been five long years without wedges. But the wait is over," said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President, KFC U.S. "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."

Customers can enjoy wedges on their own, substitute any side for wedges or try them in the new six-piece wings and wedges combo that comes with a medium drink*. Fry fans, don't fret鈥擲ecret Recipe Fries will still be available on KFC menus, for those who are "team fry."
