"When KFC fired up a surprise drop of wedges in the Tampa, Florida, market, local fans were elated, leading to an early sellout in some restaurants," the fast-food chain said. "KFC first introduced potato wedges in the mid-1990s as a menu staple, earning cult status in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before a hotly debated discontinuation in 2020."

Kentucky Fried Chicken, also known as KFC, is bringing back its potato wedges and hot wings due to customer demand starting Aug. 18.

The nationwide return comes after KFC brought Potato Wedges back to select locations in Tampa, Fla. earlier this year
