LOUISVILLE, Ky.--()--With winter in full swing, nothing warms up a cold day like KFC’s Chunky Chicken Pot Pie. Featuring tender pieces of KFC's world-famous chicken, the Chunky Chicken Pot Pie is a perfect combination of diced potatoes, green peas and carrots in a savory home-style sauce and topped with a flaky, buttery crust. This is a classic dish worth rediscovering again and again.

“We know that people love classic, home-style meals, but they don’t always have time to make them – and then they have difficulty finding one that is made quickly and worth eating,” said Jason Marker, Chief Marketing Officer for KFC US. “Freshly baked to golden perfection throughout the day, the Chunky Chicken Pot Pie is quick comfort food at its best.”

KFC’s Chunky Chicken Pot Pie is available for just $3.99. Also available is the KFC Bucket & Bites Meal, which includes eight pieces of chicken, 10 Original Recipe® Bites, two large sides and four biscuits for just $19.99 plus tax. (Both promotions available for a limited time at participating restaurants). Visit www.KFC.com for more information.
