KFC Tests a Portable Twist on Classic Chicken Pot Pie in Four States
KFC is trialling a new portable meal in select US states. The Handheld Chicken Pot Pie has arrived in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Rhode Island for a limited time. Fans have already started sharing their first impressions of the convenience-focused snack.
The fast-food chain launched the test in February 2026, though the exact number of participating restaurants remains undisclosed. Priced between $2.99 and $3.99, the pie is designed for eating on the move. Its flaky crust wraps around fried chicken, potatoes, peas, carrots, and a savoury sauce.
Reactions have been mixed. Some customers compare it to a hot pocket or a Cornish pasty, praising its convenience. Others, however, have raised concerns about temperature. A few report the filling being served too cold, while different diners worry it might arrive dangerously hot.
The trial run will determine whether the Handheld Chicken Pot Pie becomes a permanent fixture. For now, it remains available only in the four test states. KFC has not yet announced plans for a wider release.
