KFC Australia has revived a fan favourite after two years to mark the end of the footy season. The Slab was rolled back out across Australian stores on Tuesday where it will remain until September 30. With footy finals fever sweeping the nation, the Colonel decided it was the perfect time to bring back one of KFC’s most requested game time delights—yes, the Popcorn Chicken Slab is back in action after a two-year hiatus!
The Slab isn’t just a menu item; it’s a celebration that has clucked its way into the hearts of KFC aficionados everywhere. When The Slab last graced Aussie shores, it sent ripples through the slabosphere, earning its title as a cult classic. So, gather your crew (or keep it solo—no judgment here), grab some moist towelettes, and gear up for a game time feast that tastes like it was delivered by the snack angels themselves.
The pull-apart meal features a slab of six dinner rolls stuffed with popcorn chicken, tasty cheese sauce and barbecue sauce. The giant meal is one of the biggest menu items to ever come out of the popular chain's kitchen.
Tami Cunningham, CMO at KFC Australia, quipped: “We’ve been bombarded with requests to bring this fan-fave back, and we’re over the moon to announce that The Slab is available nationwide for the first time since 2022, just in time for the Footy Finals! It’s perfect for sharing… or not! But hurry, because like any good footy game, it won’t last forever.”
'The Colonel felt it was the perfect time for one of KFC's most highly requested game time feeds to make its BIG return,' a spokesperson said.
KFC Australia chief marketing officer Tami Cunningham said: “We have been overwhelmed with requests from fans to bring this favourite back, so we are thrilled to announce that The Slab is available nationwide for the first time since 2022, just in time for the Footy Finals.
“This fan favourite is perfect for sharing with friends or family, but get in quick, because it’s not going to be around forever.”

The Slab will be on the menu in KFC restaurants nationwide from Tuesday, September 3, until Monday, September 30. Snag it as a standalone superstar or opt for a combo with some chippies and a drink.

It can be purchased as a standalone treat or as part of a combo. The first combo includes chips and a drink - and is designed as a fan favourite for one - while combo two is designed to feed a crowd. It includes a selection of Original Recipe, Chicken Tenders, chips and sauce.
