KFC releases World Cup themed bucket and new boneless menu

The fried chicken giant has launched its largest-ever boneless menu update across the UK and Ireland, adding a host of new boneless options and nine dipping sauces.

These new items are timed with the start of the World Cup this summer and are intended to capitalise on the excitement.

The centrepiece of the new menu is the Football Triple Bucket, a massive sharing meal priced at £24.99.

What does the KFC Football Triple Bucket contain?

The meal features a combination of six Original Recipe Chicken pieces, six Tenders, and eight Hot Wings, complemented by four regular Signature Fries, two large sides, and a large bottled drink.

KFC has also introduced a Football Double Bucket, starting at £20.99, as reported by creatorzine.com. It can include various combinations, such as 12 Tenders or a mix of Original Recipe Chicken and Tenders, along with fries, sides, and a large drink.

Both buckets will be available until July 19.

The menu revamp is anchored by the expansion of the brand’s popular Chicken Tenders, which can now be bought in portions of three, five, or 10 pieces.

These can be paired with a choice of nine dipping sauces, including new flavours like Sweet Teriyaki, Hot Honey Habanero, Honey Mustard, Texas BBQ, Original Sauce, Jalapeño Ranch, Supercharger, Garlic Parm and Mango Masala.

The new boneless menu first launches in the UK and Ireland before extending to international markets such as Australia and the US.
