KFC selling Zinger burgers for just $1 on July 1

KFC is practically giving away one of its most beloved burgers, selling them for just $1 – but you’ll have to be quick.

For one day only, KFC is practically giving away its cult favourite Zinger burgers for free, selling them for just $1.

The finger-licking deal will take place this Saturday, July 1, as part of the fast food giant’s 11 Days of Christmas in July. Customers can pick up a burger for one clam between 3pm and 5pm via the KFC app; once ordered, they can collect their meal any time before the restaurant closes.

They can also get their hands on a number of other delicious daily deals as part of the celebration – including 30 nuggets for $10, $1 Twisters and the fan-favourite Christmas in July Feast – courtesy of the white-bearded man (Colonel Sanders that is, not Santa Claus).

“Christmas in July is all about bucking the traditions and celebrating Christmas your own way,” KFC Australia chief marketing officer Sally Spriggs said.

“To help with the festivities, KFC is bringing all the goodies a true love should provide, from 11 days of amazing deals, to cosy new seasonal outfits, and a dedicated feast to share with the family you choose – because after all, tis the seasonings!”

If you’ve never had one before, a Zinger burger consists of 100 per cent breast fillet chicken, coated in Zinger flavouring. It’s then topped with lettuce and mayo, “all perfectly matched to deliver a spicy flavour hit”.

As for the Christmas in July Feast – it’s best shared (or perhaps not). It’s comprised of 10 pieces of KFC’s signature Original Recipe chicken, 10 Wicked Wings, 10 nuggets, one maxi popcorn chicken, three large chips, a large potato and gravy and two dipping sauces.

The bucket will be available from July 1 until Monday, August 7.

Customers can also get their hands on a range of festive merchandise for themselves and their four-legged friends.

First released in 2021, KFC’s “Tis The Seasonings” sweaters will make an epic comeback, as well as a hat, fingerless gloves, and socks.

In the spirit of Christmas giving, all proceeds from the range will be donated to KFC’s charity partners through the KFC Youth Foundation, including The Black Dog Institute, Whitelion, and ReachOut Australia.
