What is the KFC Monday special?
The KFC Monday deal is the 24-piece nugget bucket with 4 sauces for $10. It's the same bucket you can get on Friday.
Is the KFC Bucket of the Day still available?
Yes, as of late October 2026. KFC launched it in May 2026 as an expansion of its $10 Tuesday bucket and calls it a limited-time deal. Prices and participation can vary, so check the KFC app or kfc.com for your restaurant.
