KFC is embracing the festive spirit with the launch of its latest offerings, the 'Festive Chicken Sandwich' and 'Festive Favourites Feast.' These menu items fuse the iconic flavors of KFC with the seasonal delight of cranberry sauce for the Christmas season.
The Festive Chicken Sandwich presents a delectable combination of a buttermilk-marinated chicken breast fillet, savory stuffing, and a topping of buttery garlic aioli, plant-based mayo, and cranberry sauce. All these flavors are nestled between the comforting layers of a toasted plain bun.
To accompany the sandwich, KFC customers can also order the new 'Festive Favorites Feast,' which includes an assortment of the Colonel's Original Recipe bone-in chicken served alongside generous portions of stuffing.
The new KFC menu items are available at participating restaurants.
