KFC Revives Original Honey BBQ Nationwide on Oct. 6 With $3.99 Chicken Sandwich

The limited-time rollout tests nostalgia-fueled demand to jump-start U.S. sales.

Overview

  • The Original Honey BBQ returns as the Original Honey BBQ Combo featuring two Extra Crispy pieces coated in sauce, a side, a biscuit, and a medium drink.
  • KFC says the comeback answers years of fan petitions and social-media requests for the late-’90s favorite.
  • Coverage describes the rollout as a time-limited test intended to gauge results before any decision on a permanent menu spot.
  • The push follows U.S. weakness, including a 5% same-store sales decline in Q2 2025 and intensified competition from chicken-focused rivals.
  • KFC Rewards members can access additional app and web offers through Oct. 31, including a free Classic Chicken Sandwich with a $10 purchase and 50% off a 12-piece chicken-only bucket.
