A visit to KFC is always an exciting one, especially if you’ve been wanting to try the secret menu or if you’re in the mood for something new and exciting.
Unfortunately, most people stick to their favorite foods, because they don’t even know what else KFC has to offer!
Here are 10 KFC items that might just become your new favorites!
The 10 Best KFC Items To Try Out
Number 1: Honey BBQ Wings
Barbecue sauce is one of life’s great pleasures, but it’s also very high in sugar. For a barbecue sauce fix without all that sugar, reach for these wings instead.
They come slathered in honey BBQ sauce and fried to perfection (good luck stopping at just one). The wings on their own aren’t exactly healthy—after all, they are fried chicken—but there are way worse options out there.
As far as fast food goes, these wings can be enjoyed guilt-free. Just watch your portion size when dipping them into that honey BBQ sauce!
One serving has 350 calories and 16 grams of fat. If you pair it with an order of mashed potatoes, which have 300 calories and 11 grams of fat per serving, you’re looking at over 500 calories before you even add any sides or drinks.
Still not convinced? These Honey BBQ Wings won Wings That Won Our Hearts in 2017’s KFC Big Flavors Awards. Not too shabby!
Number 2: Sausage Biscuit
Not to be outdone by its rival, McDonald’s, which offers a sausage biscuit as part of its breakfast menu (as well as on Happy Meals),
KFC has released a one-of-its-kind breakfast sandwich: fried chicken and sausage served between two biscuits.
Combined with bacon and eggs, it’s what your dreams are made of. Order extra napkins – you will need them! Trust us.
The Sausage Biscuit is only available at select locations; call ahead to confirm if yours has it in stock before you go. 1/3 lb.
Original Recipe® Burger: A classic for good reason, KFC’s signature burger—made with 100% beef—is always a good choice.
It comes complete with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles on a sesame seed bun that we dare you to try not to devour in less than three bites.
Number 3: Oreo Cookies ‘n Cream Cake
No, it’s not a lie, and yes, you can get one with your delicious fried chicken. This is an original and amazing flavor combination that you have to try!
As of writing, there are only 632 reviews and most of them are positive. The Oreo Cookies ‘n Cream Cake is rated 5 stars by almost 50% of reviewers, 4 stars by more than 20%, 3 stars by almost 20%, 2 stars by about 3%, and 1 star by less than 1%. What does all this mean?

Number 4: Bacon Cheddar Potato Wedges
Originally introduced as a limited-time menu item, you can now get these bad boys at any time. With 2 slices of bacon mixed in, they taste like… well, everything good that’s ever existed.
Another amazing thing about these wedges is that they’re only $1! So, if you’re looking for something new to snack on with your chicken and want some variety (like, who doesn’t?), be sure to give these wedges a try next time you’re in KFC (which I hope is often).
Number 5: Zinger Slider Chicken Sandwich
For a unique take on an old favorite, give Zinger Slider a try. A spicy fried chicken patty is stacked on top of a buttery bun and topped with melted cheese, dill pickles, lettuce, and tomato.
It’s slathered in your choice of honey or spicy barbecue sauce and served with a side of fries. And at less than $3, you can’t go wrong.
With so many delicious options to choose from at KFC, it’s hard to narrow down our list of favorites; however, ten hidden gems deserve some love.
Number 6: Double Crunch Breast Strips
Yes, these are indeed chicken strips. And yes, they’re double-fried for that extra level of crunchy deliciousness you never knew existed.
Most importantly: They’re like nothing you can get anywhere else on earth, so if you like chicken strips, make sure to put them on your bucket list.

Number 7: Corn Nuggets with Ranch Dressing
Ranch dressing is a surprisingly versatile dip. These corn nuggets are incredibly simple to make at home and taste so much better than anything you’ll get at a fast-food joint.
Enjoy them with some homemade ranch! As always, don’t be afraid to experiment with your favorite flavors. It turns out that almost everything tastes good with ranch!
Number 8: Extra Crispy Tenders with Mac & Cheese or Green Beans & Bacon Bits
Our tasty tenders are even more delicious with a side of mac & cheese, or green beans with bacon bits. It’s like two meals in one.
But don’t limit yourself to just these sides—ask for mashed potatoes and gravy instead of fries! Even something as simple as choosing a less salty option can make a big difference.
Don’t be afraid to ask for modifications, too—most of our restaurants have an allergy menu where you can find some great options if you have certain dietary restrictions.
Whether it’s gluten-free, vegetarian, or something else entirely, there’s sure to be something that’ll satisfy your cravings at KFC!
Number 9: Grilled Chicken Littles Sandwich
If you are looking for something different from your regular go-to, then why not consider adding a Grilled Chicken Littles Sandwich to your list of best things to try at KFC.
It is sure to fill you up and it also delivers a unique taste that other items on our list do not have. The Grilled Chicken Littles Sandwich is simply delicious and one of our favorite foods at Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Number 10: Double Down
This is easily one of the most unique chicken sandwich items ever. It’s not a sandwich but it is really good.
It consists of two pieces of fried chicken, bacon, pepper jack cheese, and a creamy special sauce between them all cooked together to create a savory delight that goes well with their coleslaw as a side order.
It’s also available in spicy form! Its addition to their menu has been very successful for obvious reasons and helps boost sales every year when it’s around for a limited time only.
