KFC Brings Back Popcorn Chicken Nationwide

KFC frames the return as a fan-driven step in its brand modernization with a meme-focused, limited-time marketing push.

KFC announced it will once again be serving up its famous Popcorn Chicken, but only while supplies last.

Overview

  • KFC began serving Popcorn Chicken nationwide on Monday, July 13, 2026, announcing the item is available for a limited time and only while supplies last.
  • The chain is offering three purchase options: a 16-oz Popcorn Chicken Bucket with four dipping sauces for $10, a Popcorn Chicken Big Box for $10.99, and a Popcorn Chicken Combo for $8.49.
  • KFC says the decision responds to years of customer requests delivered through social media comments, direct messages and online petitions and the company highlighted the revival in statements by CMO Melissa Cash.
  • The relaunch is part of KFC’s wider “Kentucky Fried Comeback” campaign and recent global rebrand and includes a partnership with GIPHY that released exclusive Popcorn Chicken GIFs featuring Colonel Sanders.
  • KFC’s limited run could drive short-term traffic and nostalgia-driven sales at its more than 30,000 restaurants worldwide, but the company warns that prices, participation and availability vary by location.
