The short answer: KFC Australia has run a "secret menu" inside its app, with limited-time items that change. The reports we found date from 2019 to 2023. KFC's current menu pages (checked 10 November 2026) don't mention a secret menu, so we can't confirm that one is live today. Treat the items and prices below as past reports, not current offers.
What KFC confirmed
- In 2019, KFC introduced a monthly-changing secret menu. News coverage in April 2019 described the Kentucky Snack Pack (chips with popcorn chicken and supercharged sauce, a riff on the Halal Snack Pack) as an official, limited-edition secret-menu item, and said hints appeared in the KFC app, on Facebook and in emails.
- In October 2019, Boss Hunting reported a Hot or Not Burger (an Original Recipe fillet and a Zinger fillet) at $8.95, and quoted KFC Australia's chief marketing officer about it. It said the secret menu was available Australia-wide for the rest of 2019.
Items reported over the years (not current)
| Item | What it was reported to be | Reported by |
|---|---|---|
| Kentucky Snack Pack | Chips, popcorn chicken, supercharged sauce | 2019 coverage |
| Zinger Chipster | Zinger fillet, lettuce, cheese and chips in a tortilla | 2019 and later |
| Hot or Not Burger | Original Recipe and Zinger fillets, $8.95 (2019) | Boss Hunting, 2019 |
| Slider on pita bread | A burger served on pita instead of buns | 2019 |
| Triple Stacker Burger | Three fried chicken fillets, bacon and cheese | Gold Coast food guide, undated |
| Zinger Stacker Twister, BBQ Bacon and Cheese Twister, Kentucky Snack Box | Items on the menu in early 2023 | Yahoo Lifestyle, March 2023 |
In the March 2023 report, a customer said the Kentucky Snack Box cost $5.95. That's one customer's order, not a KFC price. The reports didn't agree on whether the item was called a Snack Pack or Snack Box, or on portion sizes.
How people unlocked it (as reported, not verified)
The reports from 2019 to 2023 describe the same app trick:
- Open the KFC app, choose a store and start an order.
- On the menu, pull down until a cartoon Colonel Sanders (or a message) appears, then hold the screen for about 10 to 11 seconds.
- Tap Unlock or release to reveal the hidden items.
Reports say it was app-only (not at the counter). We haven't tested this on the current app, and KFC doesn't describe it on its website, so it may not work now.
What KFC's menu shows today
KFC's website has a Snack Hacks category. It is a normal menu group (chips, sliders, popcorn chicken, nuggets, desserts, frozen drinks), and the page doesn't describe a secret menu or customising tricks. See KFC menu prices and new KFC menu items.
What to do instead
- Check Promos & Rewards and the app for current limited-time items. See KFC deals.
- Ask for customisations in the app (such as adding bacon or removing cheese), which KFC's app supports.
- Compare with the McDonald's secret menu.
