KFC is adding a brand new recipe box to its line-up – and foodies are seriously happy.
It comes after the Louisville-based chain has spent 2024 bringing out deals that give customers more bang for their buck, including a new $20 family value meal.

The eatery has also released individual value meals, with options spanning chicken nuggets, bowls and its classic bone-in fried chicken.
Fast forward to now, KFC bosses have unveiled a new value box for just $5.
For the tasty figure, you can nab an Original Tenders Box.
The meal deal includes three tenders, a portion of seasoned fries and two dipping sauces.
Among the dipping sauce options are the signature KFC sauce, Sticky Chicky and the all-new Comeback sauce,
Last month, KFC bosses announced a makeover to its popular chicken tenders.
The strips are now double hand-breaded and coated in the “finger licking good” signature 11 spices and herbs.
The new Original Tenders Box has been designed to showcase the transformation.
The only catch is that KFC’s value meals don’t include a drink, so you’ll have to purchase that separately.
Foodie Stacey Harmon took to Facebook to alert fellow Americans to the deal.
“To all my peeps, KFC got a great deal going on right now,” she wrote.
“A three piece tender box with fries for five bucks – that is a deal for real.”
Tucking into a KFC takeaway is a treat enjoyed by many, but often our eyes are bigger than our stomachs.
Fortunately, you can reheat your fried chicken pieces.

If you realise that you have way too much chicken in your bucket, simply put it in a container and store it in your fridge.
As long as your takeaway is stored the right way, it is safe to reheat it the next day.
Ideally, you should reheat it in the oven or air-fryer for 10 to 15 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
We do not advise reheating your KFC in the microwave though.
This is because the quality of the chicken coating will not remain the same — it will become soggy and soft, and the chicken might also turn rubbery.
But if you’re at work and a microwave is all that’s available, a two to three minute blasting (depending on watts and the size of your portion) should do the trick.
You can only reheat your KFC chicken once.
