KFC® gives the gift of $5 famous bowls and limited-edition holiday buckets this season

November 14, 2022 – Louisville, Ky. – Just in time for the holiday season, Kentucky Fried Chicken® is debuting new bargains and buckets to make it even easier to enjoy all of your celebrations. Whether you are looking to sneak away for a quick bite to fuel your holiday shopping, in search of comfort to cope with holiday-related stress, or seeking a meal for your holiday gathering, KFC has you covered. 

Starting today, KFC is bringing back its popular offer of Famous Bowls for only $5*, a finger-lickin' good deal on craveable comfort food. Famous Bowls, a fan-favorite KFC menu item, are made fresh to order and start with a foundation of creamy mashed potatoes, topped with bite-sized chunks of crispy chicken and sweet corn, drizzled with hot homestyle gravy and topped with a shredded three-cheese blend. 

For those craving some heat, the Spicy Famous Bowl offers all of the delicious ingredients of the classic Famous Bowl, plus KFC’s Nashville Hot sauce. A Famous Bowls combo is also available for $7.99*, featuring your choice of Famous Bowl (classic or spicy), a medium drink, and Secret Recipe Fries.

Three-time GRAMMY-nominated rap superstar Jack Harlow teams up with acclaimed comedian and entrepreneur, Druski, to promote the $5 deal. Based on a childhood memory of being in his dad’s truck and picking up a KFC in the drive-thru, Harlow’s nostalgia for the Famous Bowl transports him to an animated world of memories of enjoying the iconic bowl.

For those looking to feed family and friends, KFC bucket meals have been bringing people together around the dinner table for 70 years. Now, just for the holiday season, KFC’s 12-piece and 16-piece meals will come with six free cookies** and come packaged in KFC’s 2022 special edition, “Sharing is Caring” -a themed holiday bucket.
