KFC Serves Up the 'Ultimate' Chicken Sandwich This Summer
KFC is serving up something good this summer, including a brand new menu item that is sure to get things sizzling.
This week, the beloved fried chicken restaurant announced the launch of their newest summertime deal: the brand new Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich.
The flavor-packed new sandwich promises a taste of BBQ in every bite, featuring an extra crispy, 100 percent white meat filet topped with hickory smoked bacon, KFC’s signature honey BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, melted cheese and pickles, all on a premium brioche bun.
“With the best tastes of summer and our finger lickin’ good fried chicken between two buttery brioche buns, the Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich is an invitation to savor every last joyful 'bite' of summer. It’s a BBQ in every bite!” said Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S., in a press release.
But just like summer, the sandwich is only here for a good time, not a long time, so you'll have to act fast to get your hands on one at participating KFC restaurants nationwide, beginning Monday, July 3.
Plus, the restaurant chain is also introducing a new Blackberry Lemonade, making its way into KFC U.S. restaurants this summer. Try it with the new sandwich in a combo, which also comes with Secret Recipe Fries.
