KFC Is Dropping a $5 Meal Deal to Showcase Its Newest Menu Item

This year, fast food restaurants have been serious about adding value to their menus. Burger King and McDonald's both launched $5 meal deals, and even Popeyes got in on the fun, offering a 3 for $5 deal on its signature fried chicken pieces.

KFC is no different. The Louisville-based chain has been working hard to bring more value to its customers all year long with the release of its $20 family value meal and individual value meals , including options such as chicken nuggets, bowls, and classic bone-in fried chicken pieces. Now, KFC is adding another value box to its ever-growing list of deals.

KFC's New Original Recipe Tenders Box Last month, KFC announced a makeover for its popular chicken tenders, which are now double hand-breaded and coated in the brand's signature 11 spices and herbs . To showcase these new chicken tenders, KFC is introducing a new $5 value box. The new Original Tenders Box includes three chicken tenders, an order of seasoned fries, and two dipping sauces. Fans can choose from KFC's signature sauces, including KFC sauce, Sticky Chicky, and the all-new Comeback sauce, which one of our editors described as " literally perfect ."

And that's not the only deal KFC is offering right now. You can also get a Tenders + Nuggets Family Meal Deal for less than $25, which includes six chicken tenders, 12 all-white meat chicken nuggets, two large sides of your choice, four biscuits, and six dipping sauces. However, this is a digital exclusive so you'll have to download the app or order online to cash in. If chicken tenders aren't your thing, you can choose one of the chain's other family boxes, which include bone-in chicken pieces, nuggets, and more.

Just a heads-up: KFC's value meals don't include drinks or dessert so if you want to try the new cranberry-infused beverages or Cherry Pie Poppers , you'll need to add those separately.
