KFC served a savory surprise for fans this spring, as the chain announced the launch of the new Fried Chicken Nuggets. Following a successful test run in 2022, the chain is finally introducing the iconic Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets to its permanent US menu. Available all across the country, starting March 27, the new chicken nuggets will be made with the chain's unique Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices.

Fans can get their hands on the flavorful and crunchy goodness at all participating locations across the country.
