Shortly after announcing the departure of popcorn chicken from their menus, the revealing of KFC's replacement may have many kids (and some adults) wondering if it's a dream come true.
Following a successful test run last year, Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets will be hitting menus nationwide starting on Monday.
The nuggets are "made with 100 percent white meat and hand-breaded with KFC's unique Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices", and will be available as a full meal, snack or complement to a bucket meal.
The nuggets' price will start at $3.49, and will be available in 5-, 8-, 12- and 36-piece options. The chain will also offer combo options, including fries, a biscuit and a drink.

In addition to the nuggets, KFC announced the limited-time return of the Mac and Cheese Bowl, while also bringing back the smoky Nashville Hot sauce for a limited time for the Spicy Mac and Cheese Bowl.
The Mac and Cheese Bowls will be available starting April 3, and will be priced at $5.
