(KTLA) — KFC is giving out free chicken nuggets for Mother’s Day, the fast-food chain announced Thursday.

The Nuggets of Appreciation meal includes eight pieces of chicken tenders or chicken on the bone, two large homestyle sides, four biscuits and KFC dipping sauces.

The meal will be exclusively available on the KFC app or website.

“Moms love their little nuggets – both their kids and their fried chicken,” Nick Chavez, the chief marketing officer of KFC U.S, said in a statement.

“The KFC Nuggets of Appreciation meal makes it easy for her to enjoy both with a meal the whole family will love this Mother’s Day. With new KFC Nuggets included for free, it’s KFC’s way of showing appreciation for moms everywhere.”

The price of the KFC meal will vary by location, according to the news release.

The limited-time offer will also include a free downloadable Mother’s Day card in English or Spanish. The card will be emailed to customers when the meal is ordered.

KFC permanently added nuggets to its menus in March after removing other items.
