KFC is officially bringing back its fan-favorite Popcorn Chicken across the US for a limited time starting July 13, 2026. Originally launched in the 1990s and discontinued in 2023, the bite-sized snack returns under the "Kentucky Fried Comeback" campaign following years of relentless customer demand.
Fans can grab the treat in three configurations: a $10 16-ounce Bucket with four dipping sauces, a $10.99 Big Box (including tenders, fries, a drink, and a cookie), or an $8.49 Combo. To celebrate, KFC has released Colonel Sanders-themed GIPHY animations that play on the internet's popular popcorn reaction memes.
This nostalgic revival arrives alongside a massive global rebrand across KFC’s 34,000 restaurants, which features a refreshed logo, updated restaurant designs, new packaging, and enhanced boneless menu offerings.
