KFC is Bringing Back Hit Menu Item for First Time in 5 Years

This returning fan favorite officially hits KFC menus nationwide today.

Fast food restaurants are constantly freshening up their menus, from adding new on-trend items to bringing back old favorites. Once upon a time, KFC, known for cooking up delicious fried chicken with all the fixings, offered chicken and waffles on the menu. For whatever reason, the popular meal disappeared five years ago, never to return—until now. This week, the brand announced the return of Chicken & Waffles. Here is what you need to know about the latest addition.
