Full list of KFC’s Secret Menu Items
Add bacon
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name
I’m surprised that “adding bacon” to anything can by a secret, because doesn’t bacon make everything tastier? There’s only one correct answer to that question, unless you are a vegetarian, then really, just don’t go to KFC.
But okay, for those of you who have been living under a rock for a decade, you can now add bacon to your order. Putting bacon on your food has been a staple since the loaded baked potato.
Try adding bacon to your mashed potatoes, KFC bowls, corn, make a bacon biscuit sammich, etc. Be creative, you food Monet.
Add mashed potatoes
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Ask for this to be added directly on top of your entree
Okay, so I know I just said everything’s better with bacon, but… everything is also better with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Don’t believe me. Well just try it and you will not question my foody wisdom ever again. Don’t worry, I forgive you for your short-sighted lack of judgement, you up and coming food sage.
Try dipping a chicken tender or a bite of crispy fried chicken into this creamy, decadent side. Also, may I suggest adding EXTRA gravy?
This is the best snackity snack EVAH. I definitely can’t get enough mashed potatoes with my chicken. Or biscuits. Or fries, for that matter. Yes, I dip my fries in there potato sister. Don’t judge.
Build your own bowl
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: Most locations
- How do I order?: Ask if you can customize your bowl
If you are particular about your food order, then this is the perfect order for you. You can order ANYTHING you want to be put in a bowl. The sky’s the limit, or should I say the bowl is the limit?
If you want chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and gravy (extra gravy), cheese, corn and a biscuit all in a bowl, by golly, all you have to do is order it this way.
Hot Pocket Bowl
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: Limited locations
- How do I order?: Order by name, but minimize your expectations on this one.
You totally had a Jim Gaffigan moment and sang “Haaaaauuuuuugggggghhhhttt Pawck-ket, didn’t you? No judgement here. I totally did the same thing. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google Jim Gaffigan right. this. moment.
But I digress. This was on the menu for a limited time. It’s a chicken, hot doughy pocket loaded with cheese, gravy and corn. Ooooh la laaaaa. I’m totally still singing the Hot Pocket song in my head. Can’t stop the madness.
Poutine
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: Limited locations
- How do I order?: Order by name or ask for gravy and cheese curds to be added to your french fries.
This Canadian specialty is available at limited locations. I, for one, have never had Poutine, but I would definitely try this cheesy snack.
You cannot go wrong with any cheese, potato and gravy combo. The messier it is, the better it is, is my motto.
Add a side of biscuits
- Price: Varies by location
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name
If biscuits don’t come with your meal, or if not enough biscuits come with your meal, just add a side of biscuits. You will receive two biscuits on the side to dip into all that gravy goodness.
Triple Down
- Price: Varies by location. Usually 1.5 times the price of a Double Down
- Where is it Available?: All locations
- How do I order?: Order by name
This is a monstrous three pieces of fried chicken, bacon and cheese, sans bun. Just like its little sister, the Double Down, but with even more chicken, cheese and bacony goodness. This is the order for those that simply feel that bread just gets in the way. Or… you don’t want to waste any hungry space on non-protein items.
Either way, I get you. Carnivore problems.
