In this economy, $20 can often feel like it goes too fast—especially on food. For example, a seasonal Starbucks drink can cost over $10 with a few substitutions! However, fast food is sometimes the move, and KFC is launching a new $20 value meal that includes everything you need for a shareable chicken dinner.
According to Chew Boom, KFC has started offering the new Taste of KFC Meal at select locations. The deal reads like a sampling of the chain’s expansive menu, all for $20. It’s enough to feed at least two hungry eaters, or likely more.
The $20 chicken dinner includes six pieces of KFC’s signature hand-breaded fried chicken, a side of mac and cheese, freshly prepared coleslaw, creamy mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet yellow corn, and four Southern-style biscuits.
The $20 Taste of KFC Meal is currently being offered in Texas, exclusively in the Austin and Waco markets, for a limited time.

However, some Redditors were unimpressed, mainly because the deal is so light on the chicken and heavy on the sides.
Chicken fans may feel they get a better value with KFC’s $20 Fill Up Box, which includes more chicken. The deal offers four pieces of original-style chicken, 12 chicken nuggets, four biscuits, French fries, and four dipping sauces of the diner’s choice. To indulge even further, Colonel’s Homestyle Brownie, a family-size fudgy brownie, can be added to any bucket meal, including the $20 Fill Up Box, for $5.
