KFC’s new Pie Poppers flavor is the perfect pairing for fried chicken

While those 11 herbs and spices are always finger licking good, a sweet ending to a meal is often the chef’s kiss. A new KFC Pie Poppers flavor has joined the menu and everyone is asking for a second helping.

Quick service restaurants have come to appreciate that desserts are a vital part of their menu. Even though some people might express frustration over the status of ice cream machines, the reality is that people want that sweet ending.

Earlier this year, KFC launched its Pie Poppers and the response was resoundingly positive. The two-bite desserts were more than just another food offering that followed the crowd. It is a way for KFC to stand out amongst the crowded field.

For anyone who has not tried the Pie Poppers, it is the combination of the flaky pie crust with the luscious fruit pie center. Much care and thought was put into every component. From the sprinkle of sugar on top to the ratio of dough to filing, it is a delicious choice.

While the apple pie offering is a classic, a new flavor has joined the line-up. Ahead of National Dessert Day, KFC is adding Cherry Pie Poppers.

Similar to the classic cherry pie that grandma makes, the filling is sublime. The plump cherries are surrounded by gooey filling. That filling is equally lick your fingers good.

Although KFC does not have ice cream, serving this dessert with a dollop of vanilla ice cream would be delicious. Even just dipping the pie poppers into a whipped cream would be tasty.

The KFC Cherry Pie Poppers have a special deal on National Dessert Day, October 14. A four-piece order is free with any purchase of $1 or more. The offer can be redeemed online or via the app.

It is time to say yes to dessert. KFC has a great option and it does not require turning on the oven.
