"KFC was the first brand to bring the bold and spicy flavors of Nashville Hot nationwide and we've amassed a fandom – so have our Famous Bowls and Mac & Cheese Bowls," chief marketing and development officer Catherine Tan-Gillespie said in a statement. "Our KFC Bowls are hearty and packed with flavor for just $5 each. That's a winning deal."
Additionally, KFC is introducing two digital-exclusive menu items: the Korean BBQ Mac & Cheese Bowl and Korean BBQ Loaded Fries Bowl, also priced at $5. KFC's Korean BBQ – first debuted on Saucy Nuggets last year – is a sweet and savory umami sauce with soy sauce, garlic, sugar and sesame. Korean cuisine, including barbecue, is one of the top 10 food trends listed by the National Restaurant Association for 2025 and is evidenced by the staggering growth of concepts like KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot, Gen Korean BBQ, Bonchon, and more.
The chain is also offering an exclusive deal for KFC Rewards members for Quitter’s Day, Jan. 10.
