Chicken and waffles are back at KFC.
The fast food chicken chain announced April 28 it is bringing back the popular menu item for the first time in five years. The Chicken & Waffles features original recipe fried chicken paired with thick, golden brown waffles with pockets of pearl sugar paired with sweet syrup, the company said in a news release.
Additionally, KFC is introducing Strawberry & Créme Pie Poppers with strawberry and cream filling in a flaky crust as a new dessert option.
Both items are available beginning April 28, according to KFC, and the chain is offering deals for customers who want to try them:
"We believe Chicken & Waffles is an American icon. Flavorful, juicy and freshly fried secret recipe chicken, paired with sweet, golden waffles and gooey syrup-it's bold, it's delicious, and it's back on our menu just in time for Mother's Day!" said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President, KFC U.S., in a news release on April 28.
