US Fast food chain KFC has announced the return of its Potato Wedges and Hot & Spicy Wings to menus across the country from 18 August 2025. The decision follows a strong call for their return by customers,

"When KFC fired up a surprise drop of wedges in the Tampa, Florida, market, local fans were elated, leading to an early sellout in some restaurants," the fast-food chain said. "KFC first introduced potato wedges in the mid-1990s as a menu staple, earning cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before a hotly debated discontinuation in 2020."

The chain said consumer demand pushed it to revive the side after a five-year hiatus and bring back Hot & Spicy wings, as well.
