Indulge in a Comfort Food Icon – KFC
If you are already a fan of finger-lickin’ good food, then you know that KFC is more than just a quick meal stop, it’s a comfort food icon. It doesn’t matter if you are in it for the crispy crunch or juicy, seasoned chicken; they have a few standout menu items that have truly earned their place in fried chicken history. Perhaps it’s time to refresh your taste buds or remind them of the classics and tick them off your bucket list.

The King of the Menu
Should this be your first foray into the Colonel’s territory, you have to start with the undisputed king of the menu: the Original Recipe Chicken. After all, this is where it all began. Coated and seasoned with Colonel Sanders’ top-secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, this chicken is the very heart of this iconic food outlet’s legacy and a must-have, whether as a newbie or seasoned fan. Share a bucket of golden delicious pieces with friends or indulge in a smaller one for yourself – no-one will know.
Uniquely South African Dishes
Your red and white striped bucket list isn’t complete without a unique South African star: Dunked Wings. These bad boys are saucy, sticky, and utterly addictive. Coated in a smoky-sweet barbecue glaze, they will disappear fast. Don’t skip the Crunch Burger either, it’s one of the best budget bites on the menu and simply satisfying. Got an appetite? Try the Fully Loaded Box Meal, which comes with the classic chicken burger, sides, and a refreshing drink.
Delectable Sides and Wraps
No meal is complete without side dishes, and nothing screams comfort food more than their infamous mash and gravy. Enjoyed as is or as a complement to your mini loaf or chicken pieces, these tasty, creamy mashed potatoes might have you going back for more. Counting your calories? Peruse their menu for healthier meal options, such as wraps embracing crispy chicken strips, lettuce, and tomato in a tangy sauce. And if there is still wiggle room, try the fresh, delectable coleslaw.
Packed with List-Worthy Bites
So, next time the Colonel has you in sight and your hunger takes control, pop around to the KFC drive-through at Gift Acres Convenience Centre. Your taste buds will thank you.
