Popcorn Chicken returned to KFC menus nationwide earlier this year after more than three years of petitions and social media campaigns from customers. To celebrate, the chain is wrapping it into a Big Box combo and knocking the price of a second box down to nothing. The coupon sits behind a free rewards login, the mix and match rule decides which of your two boxes comes free, and there are two different end dates floating around that are worth sorting out before you order.

Here’s what you’ll need to know if you want to dig into this offer:

How to Get a BOGO Big Box Combo at KFC

This KFC Big Box offer runs through KFC Rewards, which is free to join. Log in to your account, redeem the coupon, and place an in-app or online order at a participating location with two Big Box combos in the cart, and the discount applies at checkout. You do not have to order two of the same thing: KFC lets you mix and match your favorite Big Boxes, so a Popcorn Chicken Big Box alongside a 5-Piece Tenders Big Box works fine, with the lower-priced of the two coming off the bill. Plan on one redemption per account, and don’t expect it to stack with other coupons or promotions.

The dates are where things get slightly muddled. The deal post lists the offer as valid through August 28 or while the promotional coupon savings last, while KFC’s own site shows a window of August 14 through August 24, a discrepancy several members flagged in the thread. That earlier date is the safer one to plan around. It also explains why some people came up empty when they went looking before the promotion went live, including cargo555, who spent a while hunting through the app for a coupon that had not appeared yet. If you don’t see it in your offers list, check that you’re logged in and that your selected store is participating, since pricing and availability vary by location.

The Popcorn Chicken Big Box is a fairly loaded combo for the money, with popcorn chicken, two Original Recipe tenders, fries, a medium drink, two dipping sauces, and a chocolate chunk cookie. The deal post pegs the value at $22, which lines up with two boxes at roughly $11 apiece in many markets, so a pair of full meals for the price of one lands somewhere near $5.50 per person depending on your local menu. As community member ctcsd summed it up, you’re paying whatever one Popcorn Chicken Big Box costs in your area and walking out with two.

That math has clearly landed, with the deal earning a score of +298 alongside 65 comments and more than 51,000 views. Not everyone has a second person to feed, which came up more than once in the discussion, and the thread’s practical answer came from SpEddie, who pointed out that an air fryer makes a two-day plan perfectly reasonable: buy both, eat one now, and reheat the other tomorrow.
