KFC actually does have secret menu items, especially in regions like Australia, but they're not traditional, always-available hidden options; they're part of app-exclusive campaigns, often created by staff, unlocked by specific actions (like a long pull-down on the app), designed to boost app downloads, and released periodically, making them temporary and sought-after secrets rather than permanent fixtures.
