KFC is kicking off 2026 with a bold new menu launch, tapping into one of the biggest food trends of the moment: hot honey. Available nationwide for a limited time, the Hot Honey Drip Burger and Hot Honey Drip Wings promise a balance of sweet and heat that’s already proving popular with UK food lovers.
Hot honey has been making waves across restaurant menus and social feeds alike, and now the fried chicken giant has added its own signature twist. Combining its iconic spicy chicken with a golden drizzle of chilli-infused honey, KFC’s latest offering is designed for fans who crave big flavour without compromise.
The Hot Honey Drip Burger: Sweet Meets Heat
Priced at £6.99, the Hot Honey Drip Burger is the standout item in the new range. It features KFC’s famous Zinger fillet, known for its crisp coating and fiery seasoning, topped with a glossy hot honey sauce made with real red chilli pieces.
The burger is finished with melted cheese, fresh iceberg lettuce, and a soft glazed sesame bun, creating a contrast of textures that balances heat, sweetness and crunch. It’s a confident upgrade on the classic Zinger, aimed at anyone looking for something a little more indulgent this January.
Snackable and Spicy: Hot Honey Drip Wings
For those after something smaller, the Hot Honey Drip Wings (£2.99) offer a more snackable option. The box includes three of KFC’s signature Hot Wings, coated in the same sweet-spicy hot honey drizzle.
They’re designed to deliver maximum flavour without the extras, making them an easy add-on or a quick bite for spice fans who want to sample the new range.
When and Where to Try the Hot Honey Drip Range
The Hot Honey Drip Burger and Wings are available nationwide from 5 January until 8 February, while stocks last. As with many KFC limited-edition launches, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Speaking about the launch, James Channon, Brand Manager at KFC UK & Ireland, said:
“Hot honey is taking the spotlight, and when we see an iconic flavour, we don’t hold back. The Hot Honey Drip range delivers the perfect harmony of sweet and heat, all with the signature chicken that only KFC can bring.”
