KFC and flower retailer Proflowers have teamed up for a one-of-a-kind floral arrangement to help fans celebrate this year’s Mother’s Day like never before.
What is Kentucky Fried Buckquet?
Kentucky Fried Buckquet is part fresh flowers, part fried chicken, and altogether amazing. The kit for this do-it-yourself flower-and-chicken arrangement includes 12 colorful and vibrant roses, a glass vase, a KFC vase applique, eight skewers, and a card to tell mom just how much you love her. The skewers are for KFC’s world-famous fried chicken, which is separately purchased and not included in the kit.
How to get a Kentucky Fried Buckquet kit
To get your hands on a Kentucky Fried Buckquet kit, order a KFC Sides Lovers Meal through KFC.com or the KFC app between May 1st-3rd. After purchase, you will receive an email with a redemption code and link to order and schedule the delivery of your very own Buckquet from Proflowers. Buckquets must be redeemed by May 5th by 2 p.m. ET and are only available for delivery in the continental U.S. between May 3rd and May 6th.
If you plan to fill your Buckquet with all eight skewers of chicken, don’t forget to order additional fried chicken from KFC. Once you have your extra fried chicken and your Buckquet kit, you can now assemble your own Kentucky Fried Buckquet and surprise mom.
What is KFC Side Lovers Meal?
Ideal for Mother’s Day brunch, lunch, or dinner, the KFC Sides Lovers Meal includes eight Extra Crispy tenders or eight pieces of KFC fried chicken (Original Recipe or Extra Crispy), four freshly baked biscuits, and your choice of three large sides (Secret Recipe Fries, Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Mashed Potatoes with or without gravy, and more).
“A regular bouquet of flowers is a good gift for mom, but a Sides Lovers Meal and Kentucky Fried Buckquet is a finger-lickin’ good way to take Mother’s Day from a 10 to an 11,” said Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S., in a press release. “With three sides, four buttery biscuits, and the unforgettable – truly – fried chicken and flower table decoration, everybody is sure to get something they like to eat, and mom is sure to smile.”
KFC and Mother’s Day
KFC has been bringing families together for Mother’s Day with a bucket of its world-famous fried chicken since 1952. The fast-food restaurant chain sells nearly 400,000 buckets of fried chicken each Mother’s Day, making it one of the best sales days of the year.
Mother’s Day is also KFC’s biggest day for online ordering and delivery. So for the first time ever, this Mother’s Day, the restaurant chain is making ordering easier than ever with Quick Pick-Up on the KFC mobile app or KFC.com, with pre-orders for Mother’s Day available starting May 1st.
