One of KFC’s fan-favorite menu items could be coming back to the U.S.—in fact, an updated version is already being tested at KFC locations in Nashville, Tenn.

Food blogger Snackolator described the revised menu item as a “souped-up sandwich wrap.” At KFC testing locations in Music City, it will be available to order in both classic and spicy flavors, according to Nation’s Restaurant News.

So what is this returning menu item? Many KFC fans will be pleased to learn that the classic KFC Twister has returned, albeit with a “twist” on the original recipe.

KFC is calling its updated version of the Twister the KFC Twister Wrap, according to Snackolator, who suggested the meal could be added to menus outside of Nashville by this summer or early fall if the testing process goes well.

The Twister Wrap has the same two-tender combination as the original and will come wrapped in a tortilla, according to AllRecipes. It also includes lettuce, tomato and a pepper mayonnaise sauce. The wraps are expected to appear on menus at $5.99 apiece.

The last time KFC offered its Twister on U.S. menus was a full decade ago. In the years that followed, fans grew so frustrated by their Twister lack that they even launched a petition on Change.org in an attempt to convince Yum! Brands, which oversees KFC, to bring it back to the U.S.

As the 2019 petition noted, the Twister was at that time available in “multiple different countries,” but not in the U.S.

“I've never met someone that has said ‘I hated the Twister wrap,’” the petitioner wrote. “Every time I bring it up, I get ‘I wish KFC still had that!’. We're trying to get it back to KFC, here in the USA!”
