KFC Canada Matty Matheson menu is a limited-time collaboration between KFC Canada and chef Matty Matheson available across participating restaurants and through the KFC mobile app. The menu combines KFC’s core chicken with new formats developed with Matheson’s culinary input. Offerings include the Matty Melt Slider and the Matty Melt Sandwich, each featuring seasoned sauces and toppings paired with classic fried chicken. Matty Mega Melt Poutine layers popcorn chicken over fries with gravy and cheese sauce, and the Matty Mega Feast serves as a larger shareable option with multiple paired items. Additional rotating secret menu items are unlocked through the mobile app on a weekly basis.
Participating KFC locations throughout Canada are offering the collaborative menu for a set period beginning January 19, 2026. A flagship downtown Toronto restaurant was temporarily rebranded as part of the launch celebrations. The collaboration aims to merge local flavour sensibilities with KFC’s established menu framework across both dine-in and digital ordering channels.
