KFC's recently reintroduced Fill Ups meal deal offers customers a budget-friendly and substantial dining option for the summer season. The return of these combo meals includes four distinct choices, each featuring a main item, sides, and a beverage for a set price of $7.
The KFC Fill Ups meal deal options are Three-Piece Tenders Fill Up, One-Piece Fried Chicken Fill Up, Two-Piece Fried Chicken Fill Up, and Famous Bowl Fill Up. Each meal comes with signature sides such as mashed potatoes, gravy, a buttery biscuit, and pie poppers. Beyond the food offerings, KFC is introducing a limited-edition beverage — Mountain Dew® Sweet Lightning® Peaches & Cream — as part of the trending 'dirty soda' movement.
To celebrate the launch of the Fill Ups meal deal, KFC has partnered with F1® THE MOVIE to enhance the promotion. In doing so, the quick-serve restaurant positions its drive-thrus as an ideal pit stop for racing enthusiasts and casual moviegoers alike.
