A KFC fan favourite is back – and turning up the heat – after a three-year hiatus and almost constant demand from customers.
Hot Rods, which first appeared on the Colonels menu in 2007 and were last served in 2021, returned to Australian restaurants (outside of South Australia) on Tuesday.
The ‘spicy feeds on a stick’ are ‘simple yet delicious’, incorporating the chain’s famous chicken and crispy-golden coating with a bit of a spicy kick.
There have long been demands on Instagram for the Colonel to bring the skewered rods back Down Under.
‘Bring these juicy babes back,’ one fan demanded.

‘It’s time. Bring it back,’ another said under an old photo of the snack.
‘Bring back the hot rods,’ a third commented on an unrelated post by the fast food giant.
The calls have been answered – albeit for a limited time.
Available from Tuesday April 16 to Monday May 13, all Hot Rods can be purchased from participating restaurants nationwide, excluding South Australia.
