KFC knows moms may want a little more than a bucket of fried chicken for Mother’s Day.

The chicken chain has launched a “real-talk” Mother’s Day menu to highlight what moms actually want this year: peace, quiet, props, maybe a little KFC. The effort was created in collaboration with entrepreneur Chrissy Teigen (also known as the wife of musician John Legend), according to the announcement.

The limited-time-only menu features KFC family meals named in honor of Mother’s Day and how moms “really want to celebrate the day,” per the announcement. Examples include  "Give Mom Some Tender Lovin' Time Off Meal," "Dad's in Charge of Dinner Meal" and "12 pc. Recipe for R&R Meal."

"As much as I love cooking, I'm all about doing as little as humanly possible on Mother's Day, so KFC's Mother's Day meals really match my vibe for the day," commented Teigen in the release.

Customers are encouraged to post why their “mom is the best” on KFC’s social channels, for a “chance to have Chrissy give your mom a video shout out and for KFC to share it on social.” The menu is available from May 6through May 12 and is promoted online.

Menu items include:  the Taste of Time-off Meal, specified "For the Mom Who Needs Some Alone Time (and Leftovers)," which includes four pieces of fried chicken, two sides of mashed potatoes and gravy and two biscuits;  and the Mom Appreciation Meal, with fried chicken tenders, two large sides, four biscuits and four dipping sauces.
