KFC Potato Wedges are back nationwide starting August 18, along with Hot & Spicy Wings. Enjoy nostalgic flavor, crispy wedges, spicy wings, and limited-time deals.
Get ready to celebrate, because two of KFC’s most talked about menu items are finally returning. Starting August 18, fans can once again enjoy the legendary Potato Wedges and the irresistible Hot & Spicy Wings at KFC locations across the United States.
KFC Potato Wedges
This comeback has been years in the making. Potato Wedges, introduced in the mid-1990s, quickly became a cult favorite through the late 1990s and early 2000s. After their departure from the menu in 2020, fans took to social media and even started petitions asking for their return. When KFC tested a surprise wedge drop in Tampa, Florida, the reaction was so overwhelming that some restaurants sold out quickly.
Joining the KFC Potato Wedges are KFC’s famous Hot & Spicy Wings. These wings are marinated for flavor, then double hand-breaded in the signature Extra Crispy flour, creating the perfect combination of heat and crunch. Together, they make a crave-worthy pairing that blends bold seasoning with comfort food nostalgia.
According to KFC United States president Catherine Tan-Gillespie, the return of these favorites is part of a broader effort to reconnect with customers. “Wedge lovers, we heard you and we agree it has been five long years without wedges. But the wait is over. This is not just a nostalgic nod. It is how we are turning feedback into action as we chart our Kentucky Fried Comeback,” she said.
Customers can enjoy KFC Potato Wedges as a side on their own, swap them for another side with any meal, or order them as part of the new six-piece wings and wedges combo that comes with a medium drink. Fans of the Secret Recipe Fries will be glad to know those are still on the menu, so everyone can enjoy their favorite style of KFC potatoes.
KFC Limted-Time Deals
To make the return even more exciting, KFC is offering a variety of limited time deals perfect for back-to-school season and game day gatherings.

KFC encourages fans to download the KFC app and join KFC Rewards to access the best deals and earn points toward free chicken. The return of Potato Wedges and Hot & Spicy Wings is only available while supplies last, so fans should not wait too long to grab these iconic items.
With football season heating up and family schedules getting busier, the Colonel is making sure there are plenty of tasty and affordable options to feed the whole crew. Whether it is nostalgia for the wedges or a craving for spicy, crispy wings, KFC’s latest comeback is bound to make this season finger lickin’ good.
Of course, many KFC locations are located near Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. Guests staying at Surfside Inn and Suites, the Loews/Universal Orlando hotel, can literally walk across the street to try the new KFC Potato Wedges at the nearby location.
