Inspired by recent posts, I went looking into what makes these app deep links tick.
I found out.

Here are some goodies:

21 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $21 Expired
9 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $9.95 Expired
30 Nuggets $10 Expired
3 Nuggets Go Bucket $2.50 Expired
Ultimate Box $10 Expired
10 Original Recipe Tenders $10
Original Recipe Twister $5
1 Original Recipe Tender Go Bucket $2.50
Regular Chips $1
2 for 1 Zinger Burgers $5.95 credit to Rrocky Dear mod: still working at some stores, not only for me
Fill Up Box $4.95 credit to Rrocky

Links tested to work on both iOS and Android.
These links shouldn't expire when they pull a promotion (unless they remove it from the menu).

Troubleshooting

If the links open in your browser (not the app) and you just get a 404 Not Found error,

iOS:
Long press the link and tap 'Open in "KFC"'. If this option isn't present, see if there's an app update available in the App Store.
Or try this solution from tinysoldier

Android:
click the Red KFC icon in the url box to get redirected to the KFC app
For color os / oppo users… heres how to adjust your app settings in order to use the links to take you directly to the app.

Nerdy write-up:

The Android-only links that have been posted before were Google AdWords links that look like this

https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjIypPa24jvAhVFDCs…

that redirect to something like this

intent://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31783?action=customizeItem&userSelectsSite=false&gclid=(removed)&gref=(removed)#Intent;scheme=https;package=com.kfcaus.ordering;S.market_referrer=gref%3D(removed);end

which is a shame because the intent:// URL scheme isn't recognised by iOS.

On iOS, KFC uses branch to manage promotional app deep links, with links distributed that look like this

https://kfcau.app.link/mkBC1Q1A4db

that on mobile, if the app is installed, will redirect to something like this

https://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-31519?action=custo…

These links also work on Android.

The easiest way to pull the menu from KFC's servers is to MITM the app. It's found at

https://nolo-api-ssa.ncrsaas.com/v1/Menus/(storenumber)/10000?includeInvisible=False

You can generate your own deep links by using the item's five digit MenuItemId from the raw menu I've dumped here.
I dumped this just now and eyeballing it there's some new menu items that I haven't seen before (originally started working on this last week) including a whole FOMO WOW menu.

      Taking off the meat of a burger to save $1 or the value range Hawaiian Domino's pizza, were labelled "hacks" when they were just using the system as designed.

    First time using the KFC app, can you pre-order and choose a pick up time?

    • pennypincher98 on 09/03/2021 - 15:51
      +2

      You order and then they won't prepare it until you say you're inside (not supposed to anyway) - you can cancel your order up to that point

      • Vool on 09/03/2021 - 18:03

        The order doesn't fully go through until you hit the 'I'm in the restaurant' button, you don't get charged until then either. I use it all the time to create the order before I leave home.

        **

        Just to confirm, did an order now and the email they send says you can collect any time before 9:30pm (this stores closing time).

    Great job BTW OP

    • meong on 09/03/2021 - 15:41

      someone reviewed it on Youtube and they said not as good as KFC

      • Pab23q on 09/03/2021 - 15:42

        Amazing, thanks mate

      • T_double_U on 09/03/2021 - 18:49

        Really great texture but very bland.

      • theleech on 09/03/2021 - 20:27

        Here's the tier list:
        KFC Hot & Spicy > Red Rooster >>> KFC Original

        Compared to hot and spicy, the texture is slightly better, but the flavour is a good chunk worse. Its mostly just salty.
        Overall i give it a pretty good / 10.

    • jhnsta on 09/03/2021 - 16:09

      I think it's way better than standard KFC Original Recipe. To me, RR's fried chicken is a Popeye's copycat. But compared to KFC's Hot and Spicy it's a dead heat imo

      • jubs on 09/03/2021 - 16:29
        +1

        Yup. Recently tried the RR fried chicken and it's better than KFC Original Recipe. Love the crispy skin. You can order the hellfire wings to get the reaper sauce on the side if you want more of a kick.

  • IpGem on 09/03/2021 - 15:43

    Thanks OG (Original Geek), can confirm all the links open just fine on to the kfc app on my Android 9.

  • Predit on 09/03/2021 - 15:43

    Didnt work for me in Android with Chrome. The link opens in KFC app and the cart icon animates but the cart is empty. What am I doing wrong?

    • cooni on 09/03/2021 - 15:45

      Try terminate and relaunch the app? This happened on my shitty work Android phone when testing but a relaunch fixed it.
      Also see if there’s an app update.

      • Predit on 09/03/2021 - 15:52

        There is no app update for me. Tried terminating the app and also restarted the device, still the same issue :(

        • cooni on 09/03/2021 - 15:53

          Try tapping through to a store, add a random item to your cart, then try the link again

          • Predit on 09/03/2021 - 15:58

            @cooni: Tried to do this, still the same. The cart icon animates but doesn't add anything to cart (Adding random items form app works fine)
            Damn

            • YellowShirt on 09/03/2021 - 17:33

              @Predit: I also experienced the same problem, but I found a way that could work on my Pixel 3.

              First I open the app, and click order now to go to the store selection page;
              Then I switch to this OZbargain deal in Chrome and click on the link, and choose KFC app to open the link;
              I am redirected back to the app, I choose the store and the item add to cart page would show up, so I can add the item to the cart.
              If more than one item are wanted, I switch back to Chrome and click on different links. Once I am redirected back to the app, click on the cart icon on the top right and then the add to cart pages would show up.

              I hope this is helpful.

  • brandogs on 09/03/2021 - 15:47

    Can confirm this works on an iPhone 7, couldn't get it working on an iPhone 12

    • cooni on 09/03/2021 - 15:48

      I’m on a 12 Pro, iOS 14.4

      • dman1 on 09/03/2021 - 20:34

        @cooni
        I just updated to iOS 14.4.1 in case that did something but alas no.

        Can make the FOMO WOW work on a Samsung Galaxy A20 running Android 10 work with the KFC icon appear no problems but on an iPhone 8 running 14.4.1 with a fresh install of the KFC app, the app still tries to open all links in Safari when you press and hold the link on a web version of OzBargain. If you use the OzBargain app on iOS, press and hold does nothing. Eventually it just tries to open in Safari. So there’s something else going on but I see no “Send to KFC” option on iOS only Android.

        So I have a working solution on Android but not my iPhone 8. I’d probably have to do “reset all settings” or factory reset my iPhone 8 to maybe get it going?

        Thanks though for the work you did, using Android, I enjoyed six of the nine pieces for $9.95 and the rest in the fridge. Cheers!

        Edit: just been reading that most of the good stuff has been killed off so this post probably not relevant sorry should have read the latest posts first sorry.

    9 Pieces Original Recipe Chicken $9.95

    Parse these links through a shortener.

    Welp, looks like the secret is out. This is how I first shared the $10 for 10 Tenders deal.

    OP: There's a much easier way of accessing the FOMO WOW menu. You don't need to have separate links for each menu item, you can access it directly using https://www.kfc.com.au/dleng/menu/4-10000-20069?action=subme…

    • nmcc08 on 09/03/2021 - 16:00

      You the real MVP!

    • cooni on 09/03/2021 - 16:02

      Oh nice. But this link doesn't seem to open the FOMO WOW menu on iOS for me (launches the app, but doesn't go through to it)

      • mcpower on 09/03/2021 - 16:15

        It's been a few months since I looked at the KFC app so my memory may be a bit hazy, but there's a few ways of accessing FOMO WOW that I know of:

        • that app link. I made that by decompiling the Android app and by looking at something like DeepLinkActivity - not sure whether you can do the same with the iOS app.
        • MITMing the app and either changing the "Name" property of "FOMO WOW" to something else, or changing "FOMO WOW" in the initial JSON settings response to something else (I think it's called "developer menu name" or something similar)
        • recompiling the app while adjusting the getter of "developer menu name" to return something different to "FOMO WOW".
        • using something like Xposed or MobileSubstrate (I think it's called Cydia Substrate now) to do that same modification

        On iOS, the last option is probably your best bet.

    • BargainShopaholic on 09/03/2021 - 16:13

      Link doesn’t work :(

      Don’t understand why I get down vote, I’m currently working on Uber eats and menulog, I know how the system works, as a delivery driver I should drive to the restaurant as soon as I got an order invitation not just staying at home or sitting in the car. Luckily I got my order 10 min after my previous post so I can enjoy the food before leaving home for delivery tonight.

  • dman1 on 09/03/2021 - 16:49

    Works on my Samsung A20 no problem. iOS looks like will take some work going through the dump and making a link. Can’t even get the FOMIO WOW link to open on iOS 14.4 iPhone 8 - everything just goes to Safari and gives the same 404 error. Even deleted the app on iOS abs reinstalled with same result. Could be me but I think you need a certain type of link.

    The 21 pieces for 21 is tempting but I might just get the 9 for $9.95 on my Android phone.

    Sometimes is useful to have a cheap Android phone as a backup ;-)

    Edit:
    I figured it out. Only applicable store works and does not work for delivery.

    Edit: got it to work! Just randomly select pick up and add the item to cart then swap to the store you want and change to delivery.

      Same is happening to me for Android. I tried a couple stores and all that happens is the cart boxe icon shakes but nothing gets added. So I select the store, pick up, go out of the app, then click the link open via app and it should appear in cart? Nothing else I'm missing here lol

        I figured it out. When the link works, it will go to the select store page. Try closing the app and go until select store, come back here and click on the link, it will reload the select store page and once you click pick up it will show the menu item straight away and can add to cart.
