But last year the exact same chicken deal cost fans less than a fiver.

The bucket returned to the KFC menu for a limited time back in August 2021 at just £4.99 a pop.

It was only on the menu for two months so anyone craving a taste had to be quick to get their hands on the snack.

Now it has made a reappearance, there's still not long for fans to grab a bite, as it's only around until April 24.

That means you'll have to order in a branch, at the drive thru, or using the chain's app to collect from your .

You won't be able to access the offer if you're using a delivery service such as Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo to get the Colonel's famous chicken straight to your door.

So far, fans don't seem too put off by the price increase. There had been calls for the chain to bring the deal back to menus in recent months.

On Twitter, one said: "Please, KFC when will bring back the £4.99 10 mini fillet bucket?"

But despite it being more expensive this year, it's not actually the most expensive the chicken bucket deal has ever been.

Back in June, the same deal cost £10 - that's £4 more expensive than the current offer.

But it's still £1 more expensive than last summer, and it's not the first time the chain has quietly hiked prices either.

The Sun found that the fast food chain had "secretly" hiked the price of its larger meals by an average of 5% during lockdown.

It previously charged an extra 60p to upgrade your meal to super size but now it charges 99p extra.

On the mini fillet bucket price increase, we have approached KFC for a comment.
