KFC debuts budget-friendly family dinner bundles

KFC launched a family dinner menu of bundled meals at participating U.S. restaurants this month. The menu is available for dine-in, carryout, drive-thru and delivery through KFC's app and third-party services where offered.

Bundles group chicken, sides and biscuits into family-sized meals meant to lower the per-person cost compared with ordering items separately. Options include buckets of Original Recipe or Extra Crispy chicken, trays of chicken tenders and mixed packs.

Family-sized sides include mashed potatoes, coleslaw and macaroni and cheese, and each bundle includes a set of biscuits. The chain offers multiple bundle sizes to serve small and larger households. Customers can add drinks or desserts for an extra fee.

A company spokesperson described the bundles as “simple and more affordable” and said the menu preserves KFC's signature recipes. The company framed the offering as a response to households seeking easier and lower-cost dinner options.

Availability and specific bundle combinations vary by location; some restaurants will include local favorites or seasonal sides. Pricing differs by market. KFC advised customers to check local restaurants, the mobile app or delivery partners for exact menu items and prices.

KFC has previously promoted bucket deals and combo meals for groups; executives say such promotions help drive traffic across dayparts, particularly dinner. The family dinner menu will run at participating restaurants for an initial promotional period while the company evaluates consumer response.
