Summertime is Lemonade Time: KFC Offers a Treat to Beat the Heat (and, It's FREE)

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Howdy, folks! Is anyone thirsty? Of course you are— it's the middle of the summer and the heat is as sweltering as the Colonel's days back in the blacksmith shop on the Southern Railroad. But don't fret, KFC has the perfect solution, readymade for staying cool and hydrated in the sweltering months— free lemonade for all!

In the spirit of Southern hospitality, the Colonel has a sweet deal for everyone looking to beat the summer heat (and we know that's everyone). For a limited time at participating KFC restaurants, Kentucky Fried Chicken is offering a FREE ½ gallon of Dole® Classic Lemonade, with purchase of any 10-piece meal or larger. Who doesn't love a refreshing glass of lemonade? Nobody, that's who.

Also new on the KFC menu this summer are the Colonel's Kentucky Baked Beans with Slow Pulled Chicken— made with white beans cooked in a thick, sweet southern BBQ sauce with hints of molasses, onion and garlic, then finished with tender pieces of KFC's signature pulled chicken— and Finger Lickin' Good™ Sauce— a creamy, tangy sauce flavored with KFC's Original Recipe® seasoning. Finger Lickin' Good™ Sauce (or as we like to call it around these parts, "FLG Sauce") was designed to perfectly pair with our KFC chicken, Extra Crispy Tenders and Popcorn Nuggets, and will bring even more Original Recipe® flavor to our delicious dip-able items.
