For the first time ever, KFC is offering $10 Weekend Buckets – 10 pieces
of freshly prepared chicken for only $10. The limited-time-only offer
kicks off on Saturday, Oct. 12 and is available every weekend through
Nov. 24. Guests can choose from KFC’s famous Original Recipe® chicken,
Extra Crispy™, Kentucky Grilled Chicken® or even the brand’s new
Original Recipe® Boneless. And for families who have a hard time
deciding on a favorite, they can mix and match any recipe for their $10
Weekends Buckets.

The introduction of $10 Weekend Buckets follows the recent launch of
KFC’s Go Cups, which include a choice of chicken and Potato Wedges in a
portable container for only $2.49. Now the brand is well positioned to
meet its guests’ value needs, whether they’re snacking or planning for a
family meal.
“Value has never been more important to our guests than it is today, and
KFC has never been better equipped to meet those value needs,” said
Jason Marker, Chief Marketing Officer for KFC U.S. “Hot on the heels of
launching our $2.49 Go Cup, the introduction of $10 Weekend Buckets
provides a ‘Wow! value’ for meals with family or friends during the best
time of the week – the weekend.”
KFC last offered $10 Buckets in mid-2011, but the deal was available
only on Sundays. The current limited-time-only offer extends the $10
deal throughout the entire weekend, allowing value seekers to enjoy
their favorite KFC chicken at a great price on both Saturday and Sunday.
The television commercials for $10 Weekends begin airing tonight, and
touch on the insight that there is something special about weekends –
the best get-togethers, the best parties and the best sporting events.
Now, KFC fans can enjoy one of the best deals around to celebrate those
gatherings.
$10 Weekend Buckets Feature Couchgating Info
Speaking of sporting events, KFC’s $10 Weekend Bucket graphics will
feature Couchgating – the act of watching a sporting event from the
comfort of the couch while enjoying delicious KFC chicken. Visit KFC’s
Facebook page to check out the official rules of Couchgating, such as
the “false start” (eating on the drive home) or “delay of game” (losing
track of the remote before kickoff). You can also find out how to share
your best photos and videos using the hashtag #couchgating. In addition
to getting a great deal on a $10 Weekend Bucket, you might also end up
becoming a KFC Couchgating Legend!
