KFC is launching a menu dedicated entirely to the humble pickle and we are SO incredibly excited for this launch! The Pickle Mania menu will be available in all restaurants across the UK between 23 March until 19 April – so there’s going to be plenty of time to get your pickle fix.
The menu itself is really fun and proves that KFC can give us fresh, innovative food launches. Included in the Pickle Mania menu is a pickle burger: KFC’s Original Recipe fillet with pickle seasoning, gherkins, pickle ranch and crispy pickle chips, Pickle Loaded Fries, Frickles (fried pickles made for dipping – YUM) and probably the most shocking and intriguing launch on the menu, a Pickle Pepsi Max, taking inspiration from the viral video of Dua Lipa adding pickles and pickle juice to her soft drink last year. KFC’s version is using Pepsi Max, and is served with a side of pickle juice so customers can mix their own viral-style drink, little by little (just in case they don’t like it and don’t want to sacrifice a whole drink tasting like pickle).

The whole range has that extra added tanginess, combined with incredible crunch and big on juice. The menu is an all-out ode to the nation’s pickle lovers, with flavour dialled to the max. And honestly, if you’re someone who always asks for extra gherkins in your burger (me), this feels like your time to shine. We can already imagine the crunch of those frickles paired with a dip into that pickle ranch – it sounds dangerously addictive and we’re salivating just thinking about it..

It’s also one of those menus that’s just a bit of fun. Whether you’re fully committed to the pickle life or just curious to see what all the hype is about, it’s the kind of limited-edition drop that’s worth rounding up your friends for and giving it a proper taste test.
