KFC’s New Collab Is on a ‘Whole Other Level’–And Likely to Sell Out Quick
KFC has once again outdone itself.
Three months after the fan-favorite fast food chain went viral for its collaboration with Kraft Mac & Cheese, which was only offered in Canada, it's seemingly trying to make it up to U.S. customers with an equally cool partnership.

Now that food-scented candles are kind of having a moment, KFC has decided to join the growing list of other fan-favorite brands turning their treats into non-edible delights, including Campbell's, Pillsbury and Pop-Tarts.
In partnership with Homesick–a candle company known for fragrances that help people "feel closer to the people, places and moments that matter most," per its website–KFC has developed a new line of candles that smell like some of its most popular menu items.
KFC fans have two scents to choose from–Buttery Biscuit and Bucket of Chicken–both of which are said to have an average burn time of 60-80 hours and are currently available through Homesick as well as the official KFC webstore for $34.95.
The Bucket of Chicken candle is described as "a blend of herbs and spices excite the senses in a familiar way. Perfectly fried chicken fuses with garlic for an addictive scent explosion" and features notes like chicken, browned flour, peppercorn, celery, oregano, sage and garlic. On the other hand, the Buttery Biscuit will "activate drool" with notes of golden honey, baked flour, caramel, margarine, salt, buttermilk and toasted vanilla.
And if it's not enough to have your home smell like fried chicken and/or fresh-baked biscuits, Homesick is also selling a KFC Bucket of Chicken car freshener for $12.
While the new addition may not sound like it's for everyone, plenty of fans online are ready to sell it out.
"A whole other level and I'm here for it!! 👏🤣," one Instagram user declared of the news.
"Omg the air fresher kinda slays 🍗," another quipped.
"This is big back activities on a new level 😂," a third joked.
"I need this so bad," someone else admitted.
"i’d buy the biscuit one!" one more exclaimed.
Aside from the limited-edition piece of home decor, the fried chicken chain has other seasonally appropriate offerings available at locations nationwide, including an all-new winter drink menu and a new pie-inspired side with quite a suggestive name.
