Overview

• The Original Honey BBQ Combo features two pieces of Extra Crispy chicken drizzled in the sauce with a side, a biscuit, and a medium drink.
• Availability begins nationwide on Oct. 6 for a limited time as the chain taps into petitions and heavy social media demand from longtime fans.
• KFC will offer its Chicken Sandwich at a throwback price of $3.99 during the promotion, below the typical $5 at many locations.
• Company leaders frame the moves as part of a broader Kentucky Fried Comeback following a 5% U.S. same-store sales decline in Q2 and tougher competition from Raising Cane’s and Wingstop.
• KFC describes the offers as tests to gauge demand and potential permanence, and it asserts its sandwich is larger than leading competitors based on 2025 product weights.
