KFC is expanding its $10 Tuesday promotion to every weeknight, according to a company news release issued Monday. The fast-food chain will rotate its $10 offerings through Friday in an effort to attract cost-conscious diners seeking dinner options. On Mondays and Fridays, customers can get a 24-piece nugget bucket with four dipping sauces for $10.

The traditional Tuesday offer of an eight-piece drum and thigh bucket remains unchanged. Wednesdays will feature 10 wings with two sauces, while Thursdays will include eight tenders with two sauces. Customers can upgrade any of these buckets into full meals by adding sides and biscuits.

Adding two individual sides and biscuits costs an extra $5. Two large sides and four biscuits can be added for an additional $10. The company said the expanded promotion was designed to simplify dinner decisions for families. "We took what our fans love about $10 Tuesday and expanded it into something bigger — a weekday experience with more options at the same $10 price — so you can switch things up without spending more," a spokesperson said.

In addition to the value promotion, the chain introduced two new sauces, Honey Chili Crisp and Jalapeño Ranch. The initiative follows earlier value-focused efforts by the company to drive customer traffic. Earlier this year, the company launched a $20 “Build-a-Bucket” promotion and a series of “Value Feast Boxes” priced between $7 and $11.

The moves are part of a broader turnaround strategy in the U.S. market.
