The KFC $5 Bowls menu has been relaunched by the QSR brand to help keep the high-quality, value-led meal options relevant with today's consumer.
The menu now features Matty's Cheesy Nuggy Gravy Bowl, which was created through a partnership with chef Matty Matheson and starts off with fries topped with chicken nuggets, cheese curds and brown gravy. The menu also features the Mac & Cheese Bowl, Mashed Potato Bowl, Spicy Mac & Cheese Bowl and the Spicy Mashed Potato Bowl.
The KFC $5 Bowls menu is being relaunched alongside the revival of the $10 Tuesdays meal deal that will offer customers access to an eight-piece dark meat bucket of fried chicken or tenders for $10. The Bowls and the promotion are positioned to help catch the attention of value-hungry consumers and combat against market fatigue.
