Budget‑minded brunch lovers can now find a hot‑honey chicken and waffle classic—minus the drive‑thru line—right in the freezer aisle.
Walmart is betting big on nostalgia this summer, slipping a Hot Honey Chicken and Waffle Breakfast Sandwich into its Bettergoods frozen lineup. Fans of KFC’s short‑lived 2018 sandwich will recognize the combo instantly—only this time it’s cheaper, easier to stash at home, and ready in minutes.
Hot honey meets Belgian waffles in a freezer‑aisle nod to KFC nostalgia
Remember when KFC stacked fried chicken between Belgian Liège waffles drenched in hot honey? That menu moment vanished years ago, but Walmart’s new sandwich revives the flavor profile almost note for note. The retail giant pairs crunchy, pepper‑flecked chicken with deep‑divot waffles imported from Belgium, then adds a sweet‑spicy honey drizzle that clings through a quick microwave heat‑up. Who needs a drive‑thru when two minutes at home does the trick?
Walmart didn’t stop at one eye‑catching item. The Hot Honey sandwich headlines a four‑item brunch drop designed to swipe market share from fast‑food breakfast. Check out the full cast:
- Hot Honey Chicken and Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
- Salsa Verde Hash Brown Breakfast Sandwich (chorizo patty, gluten‑free hash‑brown “buns”)
- Mixed Berry Filled Liège Waffles (raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry)
- Custard‑Filled Liège Waffles (rich vanilla custard core)

How much, when, and where you can grab these breakfast upgrades today
The new Bettergoods brunch quartet is rolling onto Walmart shelves nationwide this week, just in time for backyard brunch season. Each box lands under six dollars—roughly what you’d pay for a single combo at many fast‑food counters. Wondering if they’ll dethrone your local KFC? Taste tests will tell, but early shoppers say the waffles “feel gourmet” straight from the toaster. After all, why idle in a morning queue when your freezer can serve breakfast faster than you can say “extra syrup, please”?
Walmart’s latest move marries convenience with a playful take on a fan‑favorite sandwich, and the add‑ons only sweeten the deal. Stock up before the first brunch crowd cleans out the case—because once word spreads, how long will supplies last?
