KFC releases World Cup themed bucket with 27 pieces of chicken

KFC kicks off its biggest boneless menu update in the UK and Ireland to coincide with the World Cup, expanding its boneless lineup and dipping sauces. The centerpiece is the Football Triple Bucket, priced at £24.99, featuring six Original Recipe Chicken pieces, six Tenders, eight Hot Wings, plus four regular Signature Fries, two large sides, and a large bottled drink. A Football Double Bucket starts at £20.99 and offers combos such as 12 Tenders or a mix of Original Recipe and Tenders with fries, sides, and a large drink. Both buckets run through July 19, part of a broader menu revamp that also expands Chicken Tenders into 3-, 5-, or 10-piece portions. Nine dipping sauces accompany the update, including Sweet Teriyaki, Hot Honey Habanero, Honey Mustard, Texas BBQ, Original Sauce, Jalapeño Ranch, Supercharger, Garlic Parm, and Mango Masala. The UK and Ireland rollout will be followed by international markets such as Australia and the United States in coming weeks. Buckets will be available in restaurants, drive-thrus, and via delivery while stocks last, as the brand refresh extends across advertising and digital platforms globally. KFC has signaled that the boneless menu is just the start of a broader expansion across regions in the months ahead.
