Kentucky Fried Chicken (“KFC”) just revealed an exclusive new menu, dropping Jack Harlow’s ‘Kentucky Fried Favorites’.  Jack’s favorites include a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Secret Recipe Fries, Extra Crispy Tenders, and a side of Mac & Cheese and biscuits, all served in custom Jack Harlow x KFC packaging.

The ‘Jack Harlow Meal’ is a combo meal curated by the Kentucky native himself, which just became available at KFC restaurants nationwide and via KFC.com and the KFC mobile app on June 6th. The meal previously launched in March, but as a collection of his favorite items on the menu sold separately and available as a digital exclusive. Now, you can get the full meal together online, via the app, or in stores.

Harlow said in a press release:  “Partnering up with KFC feels like poetic justice. I’ve begun traveling the world, and no matter how far I go, KFC is one of the first things people want to bring up when they find out where I’m from. I’m excited to align myself with something that started in Kentucky, but resonates all over the globe. I grew up going to the restaurant with my family, here are a few of the menu items I’ve been enjoying since I was a child.”

KFC CMO Nick Chavez added: “It goes without saying that our classics will never go out of style, but as Jack’s favorites, a few of them are getting celebrity status. We are excited to make Jack’s favorites available now on the KFC app, and can’t wait to share what’s next with Jack Harlow and KFC. Stay tuned. You won’t want to miss it.”

However in a turn of events, Halsey announced they will now be able to release So Good on June 9 alongside an accompanying music video the following day. Taking to Twitter, the singer wrote: “I didn’t expect so much conversation about this record, all I know is that I wanted you guys to hear it and now you can.
