As the fast-food industry intensifies its value wars, KFC’s becomes the latest chain to hop on the $5 bandwagon to attract customers seeking affordable yet satisfying meals. With the introduction of crispy chicken nuggets, hearty bowls, and classic two-piece combos all priced at $5, the brand is clearly aiming to broaden its appeal and capture a larger share of the value-oriented market.

The new $5 deals include:

  • KFC Chicken Nuggets: Enjoy eight crispy, hand-breaded chicken nuggets, served with Secret Recipe Fries and your choice of two sauces.
