KFC fans begged for more of these fried favorites so they’re back for a limited time

If you have been craving that signature crunch, you are in luck. KFC is officially bringing back a fan-favorite menu item for a limited time this summer after an outpouring of requests from customers who couldn't get enough of the 2025 debut.

Fried Pickles Return Nationwide

The chain's breaded pickles are back at locations across the country. According to an article by All Recipes, these crispy treats are available in an eight-piece bag served with your choice of dipping sauce.

Melissa Cash, chief marketing officer of KFC U.S., noted in a press release that the pickle craze is not slowing down. The chain aims to build on the momentum from last summer by offering the pickles alongside new sauce options and a fresh beverage lineup.

Combo Deals and New Sips

For those looking to make a meal out of it, KFC is offering the fried pickles as part of two specific combos:

  • Nuggets + Fried Pickles: Five chicken nuggets paired with eight fried pickles and your choice of sauce.
  • Fries + Fried Pickles: Eight fried pickles served with a side of French fries and dipping sauce.
