The nation has gone pickle-mad, and KFC is officially giving them their moment to shine. From 23rd March, KFC is launching a full-on Pickle takeover across restaurants nationwide – dialling up the tang, the crunch and the briny goodness for four weeks only.
This is not a polite little gherkin on the side.It’s pickles in their main-character era, paired with KFC’s iconic fried chicken – a match made in heaven.
Leading the takeover is the all-new Pickle Burger, stacking four pickle elements into one seriously bold build. KFC’s iconic Original Recipe fillet, coated in the Colonel’s legendary 11 herbs and spices, is spiked with an all-new pickle seasoning for an extra flavour kick. It’s layered with tangy sliced gherkins, creamy Pickle Ranch sauce and, Crispy Pickle Chips for serious crunch, all tucked into a glazed sesame bun. Good luck picking the pickles out of this one.
And the pickle mania doesn’t stop there. The Pickle Loaded Fries bring a tangy twist to a fan favourite, while Frickles (that’s fried pickles, FYI) deliver golden, crunchy, dunkable goodness made for sharing, perfect alongside your chicken fix.
Straight from your For You Page to your cup, the Pickle Pepsi Max taps into the viral pickle-drink obsession. Served with a side of pickle juice, you can mix in as much as you like for a fizzy, customisable mash-up.
Big on crunch, tang and full-on flavour, the takeover is all about giving pickle fans exactly what they’ve been craving.
And the timing couldn’t be better. The UK is currently in the grip of full-size pickle-mania. On TikTok, #pickles has racked up billions of views, fuelling viral taste tests, fried-pickle hacks, pickle juice shots and chaotic kitchen experiments.
Speaking about the launch, James Channon, brand manager for KFC UK & Ireland, said: “For too long now, pickles have been treated as a supporting character, quietly doing their job. We thought it was time they had their moment. Pickle Mania is KFC going all‑in and letting pickles take centre stage as the hero they were always meant to be. Four deliciously pickle-packed products and each bursting with briny flavour, even a pickle Pepsi Max.”
The Pickle Menu is available from 23rd March to 19th April, while stocks last, at participating KFC restaurants and delivery partners nationwide. To find out more visit kfc.co.uk/kfc-pickle-mania.
