So it looks like KFC has removed the ability to do this in the app but conveniently if you do this in the in store touchscreen order kiosks it still works.

Important now just in case your app doesn't give you your KFC in July deal.

Steps for those who haven't done it yet:

  1. Add a large shared meal to your order (anything ending in "Feast")
  2. On the next screen that pops up, choose to add 4pc Original or 6pc Hot & Spicy for $7.45
  3. Go to your cart and remove the feast from the order
  4. Checkout the order

Edit: It looks like if you do this in the app and customise the pieces (e.g. change the original recipe to Hot&Spicy) that the hack works for the app still!

      I think it's heavily dependent on your store. I have two different ones near me, one of which gives quite large pieces, whereas from the other I ger only bite-sized ones. I have no idea why this is the case, as I would assume they all come from the same supplier.

      I now solely order hot & crispy (from that specific store) over the original recipe or wings as they're way more filling and better value using the hack method.

          Uh, no… it came from the video link I posted which cites people and organisations who both plan to, and have the power to do it. What is it about facts that some people just can't believe, even when slapped in the face with them. They mock and chuckle like low-IQ goofies, then shrug when it comes to pass.

          The info is in his description: "The Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen (SRU - German Advisory Council on the Environment) have proposed a 10 GRAM PER DAY limit on meat, how they plan to MANIPULATE and PSYCHOLOGICALLY SHAME meat eaters and RE-EDUCATE CHILDREN AGAINST THEIR PARENTS in the drive to stamp out the consumption of Germany's favourite food. Is the Sausage Fest over? And what else is going on in Farming that we need to know about…?"

          • SpainKing on 03/07/2023 - 19:28

            @[Deactivated]: I didn't see Geoff buy a single car that video so it was very disappointing. The BBQ at the end was the only saving grace

            The information provided by him comes from another source that's obviously biased based off its phrasing and he lies to the butcher saying it's 10 grams/month and not 10 grams/day. There is no limit because that would be ridiculous to enforce

            If German parents need their kids to eat meat so badly they can put it in their kid's lunchbox or be satisfied with the offerings of the canteen

            Supermarkets will still sell meat but it's in a different part of the store. If anything it will make it more mysterious and alluring for children to go to if their access is restricted in the first place. I assume butchers will not have to hide all their produce either so it may be good for people who are predominantly butchers as they will be the most visible meat merchants

            Restaurants will still provide meat on a separate menu. I can imagine many of them will end up having this as the default handed out (Geoff says that it must be specifically asked for so it may already be on the table to get around this. There would be other workarounds too I'm sure)

            The German government is not implementing a meat watchdog to make sure you don't exceed your rations of 300 grams a month. It's a goal. The Australian government also has goals that are likely unachievable in our current society like stopping smoking, stopping violence against women, not (profanity) the climate, having 0 deaths on the roads

            Reducing meat consumption is a fine goal to have and most individuals do eat too much (myself included). When we're lab growing meat I'll feel better eating it and it may increase my consumption due to the lack of guilt of killing an animal. Also because it will likely produce fewer emissions than traditional farming practices (because global warming is a real problem). This may be bad for my health but so are many of the other activities I participate in

            I will believe facts when they're not manipulated and obfuscated by someone with a clear bias/agenda

              @SpainKing: And this /\ is why the brainwashing works. Frogs in the pot of water excusing and defending these evils. Boiled by turning the temp up a little more, then a little more. Start by spreading fairytales about cow farts and "global warming" which get proven wrong to they change it to "climate change", make meat more expensive with a series of price increases until it's too expensive (I already haven't bought beef for several years), move meat to the back of the store, etc until it's no longer IN the store. The intellectually dishonest need to take a look at what's happening in the rest of the EU, Canada, etc… making it nonviable to farm (which produces you know, FOOD in case you missed it) by reducing the amount of fertilizer they can use, this tax, that law, another fine, discouraging and interfering with food production while at the same time offering huge financial incentives for farmers to sell up to government.

              Ridiculous to enforce… LOL. How blind can one be!? Three years ago everyone would have said exactly that about forcing every citizen in the country to wear completely useless muzzles, being ordered not to go more than 5km from your home or get fined, to only buy the food that keeps you alive, idiots hoarding toilet paper, even bigger idiots willingly lining up like sheep jabbing themselves with useless experimental drain cleaner while those who did so yesterday collapse with heart failure. They enforced the biggest load of horseshit propaganda the world has seen, but you think they can't enforce "no meat"!? Just… LOL.

              You and those like you discount the facts. You say you'll accept it, then it creeps in and you excuse it, and the other facts the same people would happen do - one after the other they fall like dominos, and by the time it's all here you've forgotten you ever said it and you're frog soup.

              Oh and the government and "medical" system and their drug dealers STILL have the whole food thing wrong. They lied about the food triangle, they lied about eggs, they're still lying about cream and butter, and the list goes on. They're now lying about meat substitutes and insects, some of which you blindly regurgitated. So YOU are spreading THOSE clear biases and agendas. Whatever you hear from government and the media you defend… until they suddenly reverse direction and say exactly what those people you probably call conspiracy theorists were saying all along. BAAA!!!

Two-legged vermin like him dine on the finest steak while shoving world leaders to make our lives progressively more miserable: "You will eat ze bugs" and "… will own nothing and be happy." [Klaus Shwabs own words], all based upon an infantile fairy story which they're forced to rename every decade or so when real facts and science prove it to be complete nonsense.

    Extra patty is usually $3 to $3.50 depending on store, which is quite a bit cheaper.

    I also thought they had patched it but it still works, just have to customise it. E.g.

    Add a big family meal, add on the 4 Original pieces, change them to Hot & Spicy, and then remove the family meal and they should stay. Then you can change them back to be not hot & spicy but I don't know why you'd subject yourself to that.

    So long as the addon get the "CUSTOM" badge next to it in the menu it will stay in the cart after you remove the big ticket item it seems.

        If you don't have Hot n Spicy at your store, switch to a store that does have it (all of QLD or WA) customise your order, then switch back to the store you want to collect from. You'll have to change the order back to original, but it'll still be there for you 😁

      In my app there's no option to modify the add-on, either 6 hot and crispy or 4 pieces.

      The only customisation option is to reduce the number of pieces (but who would do that), anyway, even so can't save.

      But you miss out on the receipt for free drink survey?

      • Frozensage on 03/07/2023 - 17:35

        How many free drink survey can u get

        • browser on 03/07/2023 - 17:57

          You just need the receipt, they don't know (don't care, don't verify) if you have actually done the survey.

          So effectively one free drink per order (next visit with $4.95 purchase), if you have the paper receipt.

          I don't think kiosk print receipt, only over the counter.

          Also, even though app order emails a tax invoice, but it doesn't mention survey and free drink. While you can ask for a receipt when you collect the meal, but that reprint receipt doesn't say survey and free drink, though I have successfully used the reprint receipts for free drinks many times - they can deny if they don't feel like it.

          So the only certain way is the receipt when ordering at the counter.

    I’ve been using this trick for at least 3 years. Now KFC’s gonna fix this bug thanks to you :)

      KFC is clearly already aware of it as they attempted to remove this function from the app

    Dang I just saw this thread after I went to maccas instead of KFC because I couldn't get the 4 piece hack to work

    No Customisation option for hot and Crispy so doesn't work. And my store doesn't have a kiosk. Booo hack is still broken in my world

    I am unable to select the Boneless Hot and Crispy, only the 4 piece. From memory the boneless pieces were miniscule anyway, so I'll just go with 4 pieces.

    Now if only the 2 sides for $5.95 add-on/option would come back, would make for a decent lunch combo. Individual prices for chips and a drink suck.

    i cant make it work as well, they killed it

      Are you trying it with the in-store kiosk?

    Ever rolling back to a former apk version is not working, it has a pop up that forces you to update. If I could find a way to get past that I'd be Golden
