Figured out this hack yesterday, was about to buy a Zinger Crunch Combo and then thought there might be a better way, so here's a better way, plus you get an extra side this way too. If you add a second reg chips they'll normally just give you a large, otherwise potato and gravy's a good option. Steps:

  1. Open KFC App, press Order Now and choose your store.
  2. Select Colonel's Offers
  3. Press the "Edit" button on the Burger Combo Deluxe (the edit button looks like a little pencil)
  4. Change Original Recipe to Zinger and press the edit button again for the burger.
  5. Under "Recipe" remove Mayo, under "Extras" add Jalapeno Mayo (free), add Cheese ($0.50), add Corn Chips ($0.50), add Crunchy Slaw ($0.30).
  6. Select your extra side (if you go for chips, might I recommend adding extra chicken salt)
  7. Add to your order for $8.75 (prices may vary slightly from store to store)
  8. Checkout, pick up and enjoy!

EDIT: It's since been pointed out by a few people that this is an old hack. I guess true ozbargainers rediscover old hacks for themselves much like Newton discovered calculus after Leibniz.

        Don't think it ever expired. Have always gotten it.

    • 1192291 on 18/01/2022 - 11:16

      I thought it was already so salty….

        I agree. I'm often tempted to ask for less or no salt and do it myself. Clearly it depends on store

      • dukeGR4 on 18/01/2022 - 13:02

        really depends on the person salting.. at times it's salty at times it's unsalted.

        KFC chips are not consistent.

        • capslock janitor on 18/01/2022 - 13:06

          i would prefer unsalted than oversalted
          so
          no way im gonna ask for extra salt

          What I've seen happen is someone comes along and does a big batch of chips, salts the chips for an order then walks off, someone else come along and resalt the batch for the next order…

    • tonydav on 18/01/2022 - 12:04
      +2

      I always add extra on one and standard on the other. That way you get 2 x small chips vs 1 x large. And the small packs stay crispier and of course easier to split.

      • sk3iron on 18/01/2022 - 21:38

        My store never does this, they just give you a large, I suppose you could ask and specify though

        Sadly, this is what the stats say. I was shocked when I saw it. The OH and I thought, we have a waaaaaaaaaay to go before we get to 97k. What do you think?

        It's generally better to find the median, I think. That way it's not skewed by some massive incomes at the far end of the scale.

      How many minutes did it take you to think and write that post?

      Coz it was worth less than $0.78.

    • BusMan247 on 19/01/2022 - 00:22

      I don't buy KFC while working at my desk. I believe at the end of my work day I'm no longer being paid. It's at this point, I start to do the spending of money. It is here I try and reduce this "spend".

      Lmao @$97k average.

      Lmao @being high and mighty on OZBARGAIN. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you saw a link for a zinger burger, clicked on it and wasted 2.8 minutes posting, so…

    remember to ask for feedback free chips and drink too

    • tonydav on 18/01/2022 - 12:05

      How do you get the FB drink/chips when you buy via the app? Don't you need a receipt?

      • MiscOzB on 18/01/2022 - 12:19

        Physical receipt with the survey validation code written down, or screenshot of completed survey on phone.

        Or just say you've done the survey and maybe they won't ask for proof.

        • capslock janitor on 18/01/2022 - 13:08

          and when they do ask proof?

          • ahly92 on 18/01/2022 - 13:29

            @capslock janitor: always have a screenshot of a previous one handy. That's what I do anyway.
            Just create one now: Store#1310, Receipt# anything (eg 4021), Date/Time, Yesterday

    These work well, sometimes. You're putting your faith in the ppl at kfc to make it correctly, which in my experience can be very hit and miss. It's fine if you've got the time to check and get it remade..

    who says KFC uses chicken salt?

    • infinite on 18/01/2022 - 22:00

      When I used to work there over 20yrs ago, their "secret salt" was just onion salt. I doubt it's changed since then.

  • TsunamiInTheHouse on 18/01/2022 - 12:11

    Damn i want want some the coloniels greesy special for lunch, but i think i have dinner plans.

    Tbh the crunchy slaw and jalapeno mayo make the burger, can do without the cheese and chips.

    Newton published calculus after Leibniz, Newton may have discovered calculus earlier but kept it to himself, Leibniz had a better notation. Yes always good to publish these hack again as it doesn't hurt to remind ozbargainers.

        I do appreciate your post. I never used this hack so I always forget how to use it. I mainly buy the 4.95 Lunch special. Next time when the lunch special is not available, I will search for Newton ozbargain and I can find your post easily!

          hahaha from now on I'll tag all my posts with a famous mathematician so people can find it easily. Next up, let me tell you about how the prices are so low, they're irreducible… much like the polynomials studied by one Galois.

          • htc on 18/01/2022 - 16:23

            @djthornton: Any good video on Galois to share? BTW, I just tried it on app, same price if not remove lettuce and mayo.

    nice op. I was always a fan of the 7.45 combo but didnt realise i could edit it into a zinger cruch burger.

    • thangcuoi on 18/01/2022 - 13:39

      From memory, the zinger option did not offer customisation when this hack was first posted last year. I have been ordering the original with supercharged sauce.

      • Pinchy on 18/01/2022 - 16:00

        Yeah you could. I’ve always been able to customise the zinger burger in this deal.

  • ahly92 on 18/01/2022 - 13:36

    If you get the family burger meal, it can be had for $6.79 per burger meal (Burger, chips, drink)…No gravy but you get 2 extra large sides with the survey

    • ahly92 on 18/01/2022 - 13:40

      so if you are 3+ people ordering…this is better way

  • scottySK on 18/01/2022 - 14:16

    Anyone else sick of the staff refusing to do the chips/drink survey redemption because you've ordered via app? They make the manager come over every time because it's "in store only"

  • Agret on 19/03/2022 - 18:39

    When you change the 2nd side from potato & gravy to a 2nd chips they will upsize your chips to a large one.
