KFC has just brought back a fan-favorite burger that was discontinued a decade ago, and customers are thrilled. The fast food chain revived the Supercharger Sub, a cult item many have begged for over the years. Hailed as a '10/10' and a 'flavour revolution' in online reviews, the sub is available for a limited four-week release from May 18 to June 14.
What's in the Supercharger Sub?
The Supercharger Sub is stacked with two mini fillets, melted cheese, iceberg lettuce, and spicy Supercharger mayo. Priced at £6.49 on its own, it offers a nostalgic taste for those who remember it from 2016. Alongside the revival, KFC is launching three other new items: the Garlic Parmesan Sub (from £6.49), which swaps the spice for a creamy Garlic Parmesan sauce; Garlic Parm Loaded Fries (from £3.99), topped with Popcorn Chicken and crispy onions; and a Supercharger Dipping Feast (£26.99) featuring Mini Fillets, Dirty Loaded Fries, and various dips.
Fan Reactions
The return has sparked excitement on social media. On X, @KennyLFC said, 'KFC bringing back the supercharger sub is the best thing they’ve ever done.' @MiggleM exclaimed, 'WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME @KFC_UKI_Help HAD BROUGHT BACK THE SUPERCHARGER I’VE BEEN BEGGING FOR THIS FOR YEARS?!' On TikTok, @(ADHD)TRICKY_2A_T recalled how the sub 'was the one back in the day,' while Beth Howell on Facebook called it a '10/10.' Some fans think it fills the void left by McDonald's Chicken Legend, with Georgina Wadsworth-Hazard noting, 'Looks close enough to the McDonald’s Chicken Legend.' However, the Garlic Parmesan version has received mixed reviews. TikTok user @inonyourterritoryhoney thought 'it was horrible,' and @user1pezoj40li agreed, calling it 'absolutely disgusting.' @ladyrandomz found the sauce 'a tad too sweet' but praised the bread. @paigebeauxx said, 'I had the garlic parm sub yesterday and wasn’t a fan at all…so gutted!'
KFC's limited-time offer runs until June 14, so fans are encouraged to act quickly to enjoy this blast from the past.
