As spring transitions into summer, KFC is evolving its fan-favorite $10 Tuesday deal into a new weekday “Bucket of the Day”. This initiative brings a $10 bucket option to customers every weekday, providing variety and value. With four different bucket meals all priced at $10, the lineup offers a rotating selection that includes the return of the nuggets bucket on Fridays.
Unbeatable Weekday Value at KFC
The new schedule ensures a different $10 option is available throughout the week to help families decide what is for dinner without overspending.
-
Monday: 24-piece nuggets paired with four sauces.
-
Tuesday: 8-piece drums and thighs.
-
Wednesday: 10 wings accompanied by two sauces.
-
Thursday: 8 tenders served with four sauces.
-
Friday: 24-piece nuggets with four sauces.
“Figuring out what’s for dinner is something everyone deals with,” said Melissa Cash, Chief Marketing Officer, KFC U.S.. “We took what our fans love about $10 Tuesday and expanded it into something bigger – a weekday experience with more options at the same $10 price – so you can switch things up without spending more”.
Exploring Saucy Season at KFC
Alongside the new meal deals, the brand is entering “Saucy Season” with the launch of two house-made sauces: Honey Chili Crisp and Jalapeño Ranch. Starting May 4, these flavors pair with the new Boneless Bucket for One, which features three Original Recipe tenders, five nuggets, fries, and a medium drink.
The new flavors cater to a demand for distinctive profiles. Honey Chili Crisp offers a balance of sweet and heat, while Jalapeño Ranch provides a creamy, herb-forward kick. To celebrate, the brand partnered with The Mark Hotel to serve these items to guests during a high-profile event. Fans can also participate via social media; if a “Colonel-coded” look appears on the carpet on May 4, a limited-time 50% discount on a 12-piece chicken-only bucket may be unlocked through the mobile app.
