A bold new meal deal from a major chain is turning heads in the fast-food world
- Replies 0
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the fast food world, you know things are heating up—and one major chain just stepped up its game.
As a popular rival brings back a fan favorite, this spot is responding with a limited-time offer that’s already turning heads.
For fans of crispy chicken and a good deal, it’s tough to ignore.
From May 5 through May 11, KFC Rewards members can get five Original Recipe Tenders for just $5. That’s more than 50% off the typical price—normally around $2.39 per tender.
The offer is exclusive to members of the KFC Rewards program, but signing up is free and easy via the KFC app or website.
Once you’re in, you can score this deep discount and earn points toward future freebies.
The timing isn’t a coincidence. As McDonald’s promotes its McCrispy Strips, KFC is making sure customers remember who’s been serving chicken tenders all along.
Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President of KFC US, summed it up this way: “Why settle for a tender from a burger chain when you can get a deal on what we believe is the best tasting tender, from the OG of fried chicken?”
It’s a bold move—and a direct shot at the competition.
These aren’t just any chicken strips. KFC’s Original Recipe Tenders are double-breaded, seasoned with the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices, and pressure-fried to lock in moisture and flavor.
The result? A golden-brown crunch with juicy, flavorful chicken in every bite.
And if you haven’t tried the Comeback Sauce, this is your chance—it’s tangy, zesty, and made for dipping.
This week, KFC isn’t stopping at tenders. They’ve also brought back Chicken & Waffles—a sweet-and-savory classic—and added new Strawberry & Crème Pie Poppers to the menu.
If you’re heading to the drive-thru, it might be worth making room for dessert during this “Maycember” promotion.
While McDonald’s McCrispy Strips are a recent re-entry, KFC’s tenders are a long-time favorite—and this $5 deal gives customers significantly more for their money.
In an era of rising food prices, that kind of value stands out.
