Mother’s Day and the celebration surrounding the holiday needs to be more than just another Sunday. It can be a favorite food, a special celebration, or the ultimate diversion, a night away basking in pure bliss. This year, KFC and Benchmark Resorts and Hotels partnered on the must have gift that mom will love.
Recently, KFC brought back chicken and waffles to the menu. This quick service restaurant’s version might not be exactly the same as some bougie brunch menus, but the flavor satisfies. From the pearl sugar in the waffle to the iconic 11 herbs and spices on the fried chicken, the food is flying out the drive-thru window.
This year, KFC wants to elevate its chicken and waffles experience with a little extra for the woman who does so much for everyone. On May 10 and 11, select Benchmark Resorts and Hotels in Boston, Seattle, Phoenix, Daytona Beach Shores (Florida), and Portland (Oregon) will offer a Mom Flies the Coop Package.
The specialty package includes a limited-edition KFC bathrobe and KFC Chicken and Waffles, served a KFC-branded tray. The whole moment is finger licking good and full of special memories.

As Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President, KFC U.S. explained, “We were inspired by moms on social media sharing that they would love nothing more than a night away for some true rest and relaxation for Mother’s Day, which led us to this unexpected partnership. By teaming up with Benchmark Resorts and Hotels to curate this unique staycation for mom, we’re bringing her everything she loves: appreciation and relaxation on her special day plus an ultimate flex meal with the brunch icon, Chicken and Waffles.”
This idea from KFC and Benchmark is a fun way to celebrate the special women who make life more enjoyable. Sometimes it is a simple idea that makes a lasting impact. Reservations for this unique getaway can be made at benchmarkresortsandhotels.com/KFC. Room rates and availability can be found online.
If that Mom Flies the Coop package is too far away, the concept can be applied a closer to home. Why not create the ultimate escape within the home space.
For example, create a cozy couch scenario. Order some KFC Chicken and Waffles, pour a special beverage, and put everything that she needs within reach. Whether it is a remote to binge her favorite show, a book for some escape reading, or maybe just some quiet to allow all the noise fade away. Giving her an opportunity to “fly the coop” from responsibilities for the day is a gift.
Also, do not forget an order of the new Strawberry and Crème Pie Poppers. Ending the meal on a sweet note is always a must.
Ready to help give mom and all women a little “me” time? Whether she flies the coop over the holiday weekend or is catered to on her home perch, pampering her with some great KFC food and catering to her every whim is part of the plan.
