Discontinued KFC Items We Desperately Miss

[@matthewcasagrande231]

When they switched from their potato wedges to these potato fries, they completely lost me. I used to love their potato wedges. Particularly when I was able to put some sea salt on them and then dip them in hot sauce... Now that was good eating! It's been a long time since I've been to KFC. I really miss those wedges.

I still can't comprehend why they would get rid of them other than something along the lines of them being made with a super dangerous ingredient, probably crack. they were the greatest wings ever even though they were more of a wing ding than a typical chicken wing.

Little bucket parfaits and potato wedges. I miss those. One that I really miss that no one remembers. The Twister from the mid 90s. It was a cold chicken wrap with bacon, ranch, lettuce and tomato all rolled in a tortilla. It was great.

[@csymindspring]

I'll add one other item from the KFC past that deserves to be on the list. During the late 80s or early 90s they introduced a whole roasted chicken called the Rotisserie Gold Chicken. It was, IMO, the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had.

[@giraffesareselfish9563]

I never had it but it sounds delicious. I live in Louisiana and there are very few KFC'S. Popeyes is everywhere and I just don't care for crispy chicken. Original recipe for me!!!

[@deonnadyson]

I remember the rotisserie chicken... I used to get all time when I was kid...

[@JovinRepairs]

I miss the potato wedges. The local KFC near me overcooks the fries to the point that they are solid. A wedge could get a bit overdone and that was like a treat in the order. Their fries are crunchy sticks of salt and grease.

Didn’t mention the honey bbq wings. They would sit in the glass case and were sticky and crisp. Used to get several boxes and they were a hit at parties. Close to the end of their existence, they would just dump bbq sauce over fried chicken and hand them out. Not the same. To bad they killed off a great product.

[@eggie1978]

Someone explain to me why KFC could not sell nuggets well enough to keep them permanently. 1) Not everyone likes bone-in chicken. 2) Nuggets are easier to eat especially on the go. 3) Nuggets appeal to kids. So why does McDonald's still have chicken nuggets, but KFC (a chicken restaurant) does not? That makes no sense.

KFC in Australia still has them on the menu, so I'm not sure why they would've gotten rid of them here. Kind of a bummer because I don't remember ever getting to try them.
