Now available at KFC are Chicken Littles, the new snack-sized sandwiches that are big in KFC taste, but at the little price of just $1.29 each. The new and improved KFC Chicken Littles pay homage to the brand’s chicken sliders of the same name from years past and once again deliver the perfect snackable sandwich.
Chicken Littles feature a freshly-breaded Extra Crispy Strip sandwiched in a sweet bun topped with pickle slices and KFC’s signature Colonel’s Mayo. The soft, sweet bun complements the savory 100 percent all-white breast meat chicken, making this sandwich the newest craveable offering from the world’s most popular chicken restaurant chain.
“Taste, value and portability are important to our customers and Chicken Littles deliver all three,” said Jason Marker, Chief Marketing Officer for KFC US. “We often hear how much our customers love quick and snackable meals filled with great flavor. That’s why we packed big taste into this little menu item.”
Chicken Littles Fans Speak, and KFC Listens
It’s been more than 20 years since KFC sold a Chicken Littles sandwich nationally. Since that time, passionate fans have placed calls to KFC headquarters, started petitions and built Facebook pages asking for the sandwich to return to the menu. A recent poll on the KFC Facebook page asked fans what menu item from the past they’d like to see back at KFC. Chicken Littles was the overwhelming favorite, garnering more support than any other menu item. And now, KFC is introducing the new and improved Chicken Littles – updated for the 21st century and even better than the original!
“We think fans of the original Chicken Littles are going to love the ‘new Littles’ even more,” added Marker. “From 100 percent all-white breast meat chicken to the soft, sweet bun, everything about Chicken Littles is new and improved. With this great sandwich, ‘little really is the new big!’”
Chicken Littles can be ordered either a la carte or in a combo option. Combos include two Chicken Littles, a side item and a medium drink. Customers can purchase Chicken Littles for just $1.29 each or, for a limited time, the Chicken Littles Combo (two sandwiches, a side item and a medium drink) for $5. (Pricing and participation may vary. Tax extra.)
