The KFC Hot & Spicy Wings have been announced to coincide with football season to provide fans with the perfect way to satisfy their hunger when watching the game this fall. The wings feature a bone-in profile that has no sauce and have instead been marinated with a blend of hot spices alongside a double dose of Extra Crispy breading that's applied by hand. The final result is a crunchy, spicy wing that's ready for consumers to pick up as a snack or an appetizer to serve to guests this season.
The KFC Hot & Spicy Wings are launching on September 10, 2023 with the brand offering them as part of an eight-piece order for $4.99 for a limited time only.
