KFC Nigeria is bringing back its BOGO Bucket promotion on Thursday, September 17, offering customers a one-day opportunity to buy one qualifying chicken bucket and receive another bucket of the same size at no additional cost.
The promotional offer, according to information released by KFC Nigeria, will run for 24 hours and is being positioned as a limited-time deal for customers looking to share meals with family and friends.
Under the promotion, customers who purchase an 8-piece, 12-piece or 21-piece Chicken Bucket at the regular price will receive a second bucket of the same size for free.
The offer also includes four additional dips, with Mayo, BBQ and Suyannaise among the available options highlighted by the company.
BOGO Bucket offer runs for one day
The promotion is scheduled specifically for Thursday, September 17, meaning customers who want to take advantage of the deal will need to make their purchases within the promotional period.
KFC Nigeria has described the campaign as a way of giving customers more food to share, with the Buy One, Get One Free structure effectively doubling the number of chicken pieces purchased when customers select the same bucket size for the free offer.
The promotion covers three of KFC Nigeria’s bucket sizes: 8 pieces, 12 pieces and 21 pieces.
The company says the offer can provide savings of up to 50 percent, depending on the bucket selected and the applicable regular price.
The limited duration is also central to the promotion, with customers advised to take advantage of the offer on the specified date rather than expecting it to remain available beyond September 17.
Available across major Nigerian cities
The BOGO Bucket promotion is being offered at participating KFC outlets across several Nigerian cities.
According to the promotional information, participating locations include Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, Akure, Ilorin, Sagamu and Ibadan.
The broad geographical coverage means customers in several of Nigeria’s major urban centres will have access to the campaign.
KFC has established a significant presence in Nigeria, with the brand having entered the Nigerian market in 2009. KFC’s official global company information identifies the brand as a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, while KFC Nigeria maintains its own customer-facing channels for promotions and ordering.

Delivery option also available
Customers who prefer to eat at home will also be able to access the promotion through delivery, according to the campaign information supplied by KFC Nigeria.
The offer is listed as being available through Chowdeck and Mano, providing an alternative for customers who do not want to visit a physical outlet.
KFC Nigeria has previously directed customers to use its official ordering channels and partner platforms when placing orders. Its official social media presence also warns customers against making payments into personal accounts and advises them to use authorised ordering channels. (X)
Customers using delivery platforms should therefore check the applicable promotional terms displayed at the point of ordering before completing their purchase.
More chicken, more sharing
The BOGO promotion comes as KFC Nigeria continues to use bucket meals and family-oriented food offers as part of its efforts to encourage group dining.
KFC Nigeria has previously promoted larger bucket formats, including 8-, 12- and 21-piece options. A 2024-25 business report on the company’s Nigeria operations also highlighted the expansion of its Bucket Meal range and several promotional campaigns designed to increase customer value. (BS Media)
The latest BOGO campaign builds on that approach by allowing customers to receive a second bucket matching the size they purchase.
For customers ordering an 8-piece bucket, for example, the promotion would provide a second 8-piece bucket. The same principle applies to the 12-piece and 21-piece options, subject to the promotion’s terms.
That makes the offer particularly relevant for families, groups of friends and customers planning to share a larger meal.
What customers should know
The promotion is strictly time-limited, with Thursday, September 17 identified as the promotional date.
Customers should also note that the free bucket is required to be the same size as the bucket purchased under the stated offer.
The promotion is not being presented as a permanent menu change. It is a special, one-day campaign, meaning availability may be subject to participating outlets, delivery-platform availability and stock.
Customers planning to use the offer through delivery platforms should therefore check the deal when placing their orders.
Why the promotion matters
Limited-time food promotions have become an important part of the competitive quick-service restaurant market, particularly as consumers increasingly compare prices and value before making purchasing decisions.
For KFC Nigeria, the BOGO campaign offers a straightforward value proposition: customers pay for one bucket and receive another of the same size, potentially making larger group meals more economical.
The promotion also gives the company an opportunity to drive customer traffic to its restaurants and digital ordering channels over a concentrated 24-hour period.
For consumers, however, the key consideration remains the terms of the promotion, including the eligible bucket sizes, participating locations, delivery availability and the period during which the offer can be redeemed.
What happens next
The KFC Nigeria BOGO Bucket promotion is scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and will run for 24 hours.
Customers in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, Akure, Ilorin, Sagamu and Ibadan can check participating KFC outlets for availability, while customers who prefer delivery can check Chowdeck and Mano.
As the offer is limited to one day, customers interested in the promotion will need to place their orders during the stated promotional period.
