The side was KFC potato wedges. The “two weeks only” window referred to a limited-time test at five Tampa, Florida, locations in March 2025—not a two-week nationwide offer. KFC later announced a nationwide return beginning August 18, 2025, but that historical announcement does not confirm that wedges are available at any particular restaurant today.
What was the two-week KFC offer?
In March 2025, KFC described potato wedges as returning for a limited time in Tampa, Florida. Later reporting said the test lasted two weeks and involved five Tampa locations. KFC indicated that broader availability could depend on how the test was received. The available reporting does not identify exact start and end dates or the participating restaurant addresses.
KFC’s March description called wedges “one of KFC’s most requested menu items,” as quoted in an August 2025 report republished by AOL. That is the company’s characterization, not a published customer-request count, survey result, or independently measured ranking.
When did KFC bring potato wedges back more broadly?
The same August report said KFC announced a nationwide return beginning August 18, 2025, after removing wedges from its menu in 2020. KFC U.S. President Catherine Tan-Gillespie was quoted as saying, “Wedge-lovers, we heard you—and we agree it’s been five long years without wedges. But the wait is over.” The report cautioned that participation and availability varied by restaurant and that wedges were available while supplies lasted.
