Nostalgia is a major trend these days and it isn't exclusive to only movies, shows, and clothing. Fast food chains have jumped on board as well, and as we have seen in the last couple of years, items once thought to be extinct and to never make a return have popped up on menus to the delight of many customers. Taco Bell has been the king of doing this lately, with McDonald's not far behind, having their yearly items that come and go for a limited time. One place that usually doesn't follow this trend is KFC, but they have decided to jump on board and bring back some popular food items that customers haven't seen in over twenty years.

KFC is one of the kings of fast-food chicken. One thing though that has been missing from their menu for a long time is chicken nuggets. For being a fast food chicken fried restaurant, it has always been odd for them to not have nuggets. They had them at one time, but they have been off the menu since the late 90s. The Kentucky Nuggets have been missed, but they will no longer be extinct, as they have been resurrected and are back on the KFC menu as of last Monday. You can now get a 5-count, 8-count, 12-count, or 36-count. The delicious white meat nuggets are back, and many customers are excited to hear the news. 

More KFC Items Return

While the return of the Kentucky nuggets is great, they aren't the only item to return to the menu. As of today, the KFC Mac and Cheese Bowl has returned and will be available for a limited time only. The bowl will have the newly back chicken nuggets on top with cheddar cheese, topped with a three-cheese blend. The bowls are $5 if you want one for lunch or dinner today. Other limited-time items recently on the menu include the KFC Double Down Sandwich which returned in early March but was only available for four weeks. Today would mark four weeks, but there is still a chance you can get one if they are still available. The double-down sandwich consists of two pieces of extra crispy chicken, two pieces of bacon, and either mayo or a spicy sauce. The chicken works as the bread in the sandwich.

It is great to see fast food chains listening to their customers and bringing back customers' favorite items that many thought were gone forever. It is up to us to make sure these items are appreciated and continue to stick around or end up in the limited-time rotation. Change your lunch or dinner plans tonight, and go check out the new items that are old items on the KFC menu and enjoy some chicken nuggets or a mac and cheese bowl while you can.
