The KFC secret menu is literally a treasure chest of mouthwatering gems. If you’re not ordering from this menu, then you’re seriously missing out. From bunless sandwiches and sloppy yet flavorful combinations to all the extras you can take advantage of, here are the 10 KFC secret menu items that are total game-changers.
10. Double Down
Double down has been on and off the KFC menu ever since it was introduced to the public in 2012. Thankfully, you can stop missing this gem of a sandwich. Yup, you can still order this because KFC has all the ingredients that make up the Double Down (cheese, chicken, and bacon). Of course, it hits different with the Colonel’s secret sauce added in between!
9. Hot Pocket Bowl
If you’re a fan of the flavors from hot pockets and the convenience of KFC Bowls, there’s no better way to enjoy both than ordering a Hot Pocket Bowl! Change the way you eat your chicken by combining the chicken hot pocket with gravy, melted cheese, and corn. Just thinking about all the flavors and textures that go into this bowl make me feel fuzzy.
8. Poutine
An absolutely divine dish, poutine is a hit in Canada. The combination of cheese, gravy, and fries is enough to make your mouth water. However, there’s no reason for you to fly to Canada if the KFC near you can make a poutine. That’s right, just order poutine and see if the staff is familiar with it. If not, ask for some fries with cheese and beef-infused gravy on top.
7. Triple Down
If you enjoyed the Double Down, time to take it up a notch with Triple Down. This is still bunless but with an extra chicken fillet squeezed into the middle, plus extra sauce, cheese, and bacon. It’s basically a bigger replica of the Double Down, and certainly not for the faint of heart.
6. KFC with Some Taco Bell
KFC and Taco Bell are fast food siblings, operating under the same parent company (Yum! Brands). So if you ever noticed the two chains sharing a space, that’s why. Now, for a hybrid snack, you can start easy with some Nacho Cheese Fries. Get the fries from KFC and head over to Taco Bell to order a side of cheese sauce. Pour it over your fries and devour!
5. Biscuits on the Side
There’s a subtle sweetness to KFC biscuits that pair so well with savory chicken. So if you’re not getting a side of biscuits with your favorite KFC meal, just why? Make your next trip more delightful by ordering a side of biscuits, and the server will give you two of them. Don’t forget to slather in that honey for a little extra sweetness.
4. Extra KFC Bacon
Oh, the power that bacon holds. If you ever thought of adding this smoky, savory meat to your meal, don’t think twice. You can actually add bacon to any entree of your choice. Just ask for it. Stock up on some patience, too, as the option might not be available in some locations. Prices may also vary.
3. Mashed Potato in Your Sandwich
Where’s the fun in eating mashed potato inside a container? To switch things up, you can choose to add the creamy mashed potato to any entree. Yup, similar to how you would get that extra bacon. Just ask the server to plop a scoop of mashed potato on your chosen fried chicken creation or load it up in a filet sandwich for a one-of-a-kind fast food experience!
2. Sloppy Shots
What’s even better than Poutine? Sloppy Shots! This item from the KFC secret menu combines the chain’s famous fries soaked in gravy with corn, cheese, and fun shots. It does sound like a messy bowl but trust us…all those flavors and textures are rewarding. To order, just ask the employee to whip up a Sloppy Shots.
1. Zinger Stacker
The Zinger has always been a go-to for spice lovers or anyone who wants a bolder alternative to a regular chicken sandwich. But what if we told you that you can level up your zinger game? Just ask for a Zinger Stacker, which includes two fried chicken fillets, each with melty cheese on top. Don’t forget the spicy sauce and chili relish to get more of that “zing!”
