The KFC Double Mash Meal has been added to the QSR brand's menu as a family-friendly meal perfect for offering the comfort of a home-cooked meal in a decidedly easier way. The meal starts off with seven pieces of the brand's signature fried chicken alongside two orders of large mashed potatoes with gravy and four biscuits on the side. The meal is priced at $20 to position it as a cost-effective alternative to individual meal options that can often cost far more.
The KFC Double Mash Meal is also customizable with additional sides, drinks, desserts and sauces available to add on for an extra charge. The meal is being offered at all the brand's participating locations in the US as the value wars continue within the QSR industry and brands create new deals and promotions to catch consumer attention.
