KFC is home to some of the most commercialized and famous fried chicken. It may be the best way to enjoy an alternative meal when it comes to Easter. If this sounds appealing to you, then you are in luck. That’s right, KFC will be open on Easter Sunday 2021!

Locations may vary, but many people will be able to find a local KFC open for at least a limited number of hours for Easter. This means KFC’s signature buckets are available for everyone. If you are craving the Colonel’s special recipe of chicken, you can plan ahead or grab some of their delicious chicken on a whim.

Whether you are shopping for one or a big family, there are plenty of items to select from at KFC. Your Easter meal does not have to be ham and mashed potatoes. Instead, you can have chicken and mashed potatoes with little to no effort. Even if you’re not feeling mashed potatoes, there are still great side options to be had (just no potato wedges).

KFC has plenty of Easter food options including its own Chicken Sandwich

For fried chicken sandwich lovers, of course, KFC has its own version. If you go with it, I definitely recommend the spicy fillet version. Not much beats fried chicken with mayo and pickles in between a brioche bun. You can pair the sandwich with french fries or cole slaw for a nice individual meal.

No matter if you want a KFC bucket of fried chicken or if you want to go with the $30 double bucket of chicken and tenders, your family’s hunger can get easily satisfied on Easter Sunday. The bucket meals come with sides and biscuits which is a deal hard to match.

Even if you just want a snack for your day, you can still hit KFC for some Chicken Little sandwiches. You can even get some Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders or Popcorn Chicken to satisfy a mid-afternoon craving. Whatever you desire, KFC will be open for you this Easter.
