The menu consists of two items to choose from including the [BBQ Lovers Sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-guy-summer-menu) and the BBQ Lovers Twister, which are both crafts with high-quality fried chicken and ample amounts of barbecue sauce. The menu items are perfect for avid [fried chicken fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popeyes-saucin) to try out, and balance out the smoky sweetness of the barbecue sauce with ingredients like [pickles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickled-menu) and mayo in the recipes. The KFC BBQ Lovers menu comes as a convenient way to enjoy the flavors of a backyard barbecue at anytime, but will only be around for the summer months.
