FAQs
What day is the KFC $10 bucket?
The $10 Bucket of the Day runs on weekdays, Monday through Friday, with the bucket type rotating daily: Monday and Friday feature 24-piece Chicken Nuggets, Tuesday features 8-piece Chicken Drums & Thighs (or Tenders, depending on the current promotion cycle), Wednesday features 10 Chicken Wings, and Thursday features 8-piece Chicken Tenders.
What is the $20 deal at Kentucky Fried Chicken?
The $20 deal at KFC is the $20 Fill Up Box, a family-style bundle built to feed 3–4 people. Contents have varied by promotion period, but the most common version includes 4 pieces of bone-in chicken, 12 chicken nuggets, Secret Recipe Fries, 4 biscuits, and 4 dipping sauces, totaling roughly 2,600–3,630 calories. Pricing can range from about $20–$25 depending on location, and availability depends on franchise participation, so it’s worth confirming at your local KFC before ordering.
What is the new $5 meal at KFC?
KFC has run several different $5-priced items throughout 2026, so “new” depends on timing: the year started with five $5 Bowls (including the Mac & Cheese Bowl and the Matty Matheson-collab Cheesy Nuggy Gravy Bowl) launched in January, followed by a $5 Chicken Variety Box (2 pieces of chicken, 5 nuggets, a sauce, and a drink) for KFC Rewards members in May, and a $5 Big Dunk deal (5 chicken tenders with 2 dipping sauces) around the same time. Since these are rotating, limited-time promotions rather than a single fixed item, it’s best to check the KFC app or website for whichever $5 offer is currently active in your area.
