The search announcement comes just days after the chain unveiled an 80-piece KFC bucket for just £5.99.
The bargain deal means the chicken is less than 8p per piece. It follows a successful trial-run in the chain’s Glasgow store last September.
The 80-piece bucket will remain on sale in all UK restaurants until March 23.
KFC’s announcement was met with much fanfare from fans who are thrilled with the exciting deal.
Yum! KFC debuted new chicken and donuts at stores across the US this week
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, KFC debuted new chicken and donuts at stores across the US.
The delicious duo can be ordered as a sandwich or a basket meal, and will be available until March 16, or while supplies last.
Prices range from $5.49 to $7.99.
‘Chicken & Donuts is the newest fried chicken trend we’re bringing to all of America,’ Andrea Zahumensky, chief marketing officer for KFC U.S., said in a press release.
‘But not just any donut would do. Only a donut that’s glazed-to-order and served piping hot every single time can stand next to our hand-breaded fried chicken. It’s a finger lickin’ good dish filled with glaze and glory.’
Customers have the option of ordering the Kentucky Fried Chicken & Donuts Basket meal, which comes with chicken on the bone or chicken tenders and one donut.
There’s also a sandwich, which includes an Extra Crispy chicken filet sandwiched between two donuts.
As a bonus, a donut can be added to any order for $1.
The chain is no stranger to the chicken-meets-pastry combination: In the past, they’ve had limited releases of Chicken & Waffles, as well as the spicy twist of Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffles.
