"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."

Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC, is bringing back its potato wedges and hot wings due to customer demand starting Aug. 18.

KFC teased the wedges’ return with a surprise drop in the Tampa, Fla., market in March, and sold out in some restaurants. The offering was first introduced in the mid-1990s and discontinued in 2020 to make room for the Secret Recipe Fries. The fries will remain on the menu.
