Key Takeaways
- KFC has brought back one of its most popular limited-time meal deals for summer.
- The promotion is part of a collaboration with “F1: The Movie.”
- The deal offers customers a choice of four full meals for just $7 each.
If there’s a combo that screams summer, it’s fast food stops and summer blockbusters—a match made in “school’s out” heaven. So, it’s no surprise that many of our favorite chains are teaming up with summer’s biggest movies to give us a taste of the action, either before or after we hit the theater.
First, McDonald’s debuted a new meal offering ahead of “A Minecraft Movie.” Then, Burger King rolled out a fresh menu inspired by the live-action “How to Train Your Dragon” and Dairy Queen launched a new Cake Batter Cookie Dough Blizzard in partnership with “Superman.” But in our opinion, the most satisfying collab of the season goes to KFC’s team-up with F1: The Movie. Why? Because this partnership is all about making a quick pit stop for, let’s just say, a serious fill-up.
KFC Brings Back Fill Ups
More often than not, a trip through the drive-thru means choosing between a full wallet or a full stomach. But not with this fan-favorite KFC deal. That’s right—Fill Ups are officially back.

Whether you’re craving tenders, fried chicken, or a hearty Famous Bowl, KFC’s Fill Up lineup is here to ensure you leave the drive-thru fully satisfied. Originally launched in 2009 as the $5 Fill Up Box (and later expanded into the $20 Fill Up family meal), the single-serving Fill Up is returning this summer priced at just $7. Yes, inflation is real, but considering what you get, it’s still a total steal.
Here’s what’s on the menu:
- Three-Piece Tenders Fill Up: Three juicy Original Recipe Tenders with a choice of dipping sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit, two pie poppers, and a medium drink.
- One-Piece Fried Chicken Fill Up: One fried chicken breast (Original Recipe or Extra Crispy), mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit, two pie poppers, and a medium drink.
- Two-Piece Fried Chicken Fill Up: Two pieces of fried chicken (drum and thigh), a choice of Original or Extra Crispy, mashed potatoes and gravy, a biscuit, two pie poppers, and a medium drink.
- Famous Bowl Fill Up: KFC’s signature bowl with mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, cheese, and popcorn chicken, plus two pie poppers and a medium drink.
Each box packs in a full meal—and then some—for just $7. And nowadays, that’s not easy to do.

“It’s a really big deal that we’re bringing back our Fill Ups—with four varieties of finger lickin’ good meals that genuinely fill you up, for only $7,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President of KFC U.S., in a press release. “It’s box meals meets box office in our Kentucky Fried Collab with F1: The Movie, so you can turn hunger for chicken into a victory lap this summer.”
And to top it all off, KFC’s got something new to wash it down with, too. The chain is getting a new, limited-edition Mountain Dew drink that leans into the viral “dirty soda” trend: Sweet Lightning Peaches & Cream Soda.
So between the return of the Fill Ups, a new flavor of pie poppers, and a buzzy new beverage, KFC is serving up blockbuster-worthy flavor all summer long—no ticket required.
