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

"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.
