KFC is putting a spin on fan-favorite menu item. Here’s when you can try it

A KFC fan favorite is getting a twist, and a new dessert is coming to U.S. menus.

KFC’s saucy nuggets are a spin on the restaurant’s original hand-breaded nuggets and will appear alongside the new apple pie poppers starting Monday, April 1, according to the Kentucky-based chicken chain.

For $5.99, customers can get 10 nuggets in one of five flavors:

• Honey sriracha
• Korean BBQ
• Sticky chicky sweet n’ sour
• Nashville hot
• Georgia gold

Those looking for something sweet can try the apple pie poppers, made with apple pie filling “wrapped in a buttery and flaky crust,” according to a product description.

The new additions come a month after KFC launched the “chizza,” a mashup of fried chicken and pizza, in the U.S. for a limited time. It first debuted in the Philippines in 2015 and soon became an “international hit,” according to the restaurant chain.
