This Mother’s Day, KFC and Proflowers are helping you celebrate  mom like never before – introducing the Kentucky Fried Buckquet, a DIY floral arrangement that, once  assembled, can be part fried chicken, part fresh flowers and altogether amazing. 

Order a KFC Sides Lovers Meal for Mother’s Day via the KFC mobile app or kfc.com (offer online only, not available in restaurants) between May 1-3 and receive a promo code to redeem your very own free Kentucky Fried Buckquet kit from Proflowers. The Kentucky Fried Buckquet kit from Proflowers will include 12 colorful and vibrant roses, a glass vase, a KFC vase applique, eight skewers (for KFC’s world famous fried chicken separately purchased and not included in kit) and a card to tell mom just how much you love her (as if the Buckquet didn’t do so already!). 

The KFC Sides Lovers Meal is ideal for Mother’s Day brunch, lunch or dinner, because everyone gets to enjoy the side of their choice. Mom doesn’t have to sacrifice her favorite to make everyone happy. The  Sides Lovers Meal includes eight Extra Crispy tenders or eight pieces of KFC fried chicken (Original  Recipe or Extra Crispy), four freshly baked biscuits, and your choice of three large sides (Secret Recipe  Fries, Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Mashed Potatoes with or without gravy, and more). 

Pair the Sides Lovers Meal with a Kentucky Fried Buckquet kit, for a DIY arrangement that you can make  for mom with the food provided by KFC and roses and supplies provided by Proflowers. Once  assembled, the Buckquet can feature KFC Extra Crispy chicken tenders or chicken, delicately skewered  and tucked into a vase alongside a blooming arrangement of a dozen multi-colored roses that will truly  make mom want to stop and smell the fried chicken and roses this Mother’s Day.  

Why “Buckquet,” you might ask? Well, like any iconic duo (Kravis, Bennifer, Brangelina, etc.), you  combine the two icons – in this case, “bucket” and “bouquet” – to get buck∙kay. 

How to surprise the mom in your life with a Sides Lovers Meal and her own Kentucky Fried Buckquet: 

Step 1: Between May 1-3, simply pre-order a Sides Lovers Meal online by scheduling delivery or  Quick Pick-Up on the KFC mobile app or KFC.com for Mother’s Day weekend (or whenever you  plan to celebrate!). Don’t forget to add extra chicken to eat, if you plan to fill your Buckquet  with all eight skewers of chicken!  

Step 2: Once your order is complete, check your email for a special code and your link to Proflowers to schedule your delivery for the free Kentucky Fried Buckquet arrangement, which  will be shipped directly to you and ready to assemble – just add chicken! 

Step 3: Once you have your chicken from KFC and Buckquet roses and assembly materials from  Proflowers, assemble your own Kentucky Fried Buckquet and surprise mom.

Step 4: Snap some pictures of her reaction and tag @kfc on social media using #KFCMothersDay. 

“A regular bouquet of flowers is a good gift for mom, but a Sides Lovers Meal and Kentucky Fried Buckquet is a finger lickin’ good way to take Mother’s Day from a 10 to an 11,” says Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S. “With three sides, four buttery biscuits and the unforgettable – truly – fried chicken and flower  table decoration, everybody is sure to get something they like to eat, and mom is sure to smile.”
