This is no joke: Starting April 1 self-proclaimed sauce-perts can get
a taste of all five NEW Saucy Nuggets flavors
LOUISVILLE, Ky.,
March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KFC is getting saucy
and taking its finger lickin' good chicken nuggets to a whole new
level with NEW Saucy Nuggets, with five flavors available at
KFC restaurants nationwide starting April 1! The news comes one
year after KFC introduced its 100% white meat, hand-breaded
chicken nuggets, which quickly became a crowd-pleaser.
For just $5.99,* you can get 10 of
KFC's new Saucy Nuggets, dripping in one of FIVE delicious sauce
flavors, including three brand-new sauces and the return of two fan
favorites that have inspired petitions advocating for their
return:
- NEW Honey Sriracha: A sweet heat sauce using a blend of
red chili peppers, garlic and honey. Playing into the demand for
sweet heat flavor, this sauce is for you if you have a little bit
of sweetness plus a little bit of heat in you.
- NEW Korean BBQ: A sweet and savory umami sauce with soy
sauce, garlic, sugar and sesame. This is the sauce for the global
flavor explorers and fans of umami flavor.
- NEW Sticky Chicky Sweet 'n Sour Sauce: A balanced
combination of sweet and tangy flavors including pineapple, garlic,
vinegar and chili. If you love the taste of sweet and sour, you're
going to love this.
- RETURNING Nashville Hot: Smoky, spicy and crispy, with
an even ratio of flavor and smokiness to heat that brings balance –
it brings the heat for fans of spice. In 2016, KFC was the first
quick-service restaurant to offer Nashville Hot coast to coast,
with Google searches for "Nashville Hot" increasing four times
after the KFC Nashville Hot Chicken launch (one of KFC's biggest
launches).
- RETURNING Georgia Gold: A
honey-mustard style BBQ sauce made with vinegar, honey and savory
seasoning. It's tangy with a flavorful punch. If you're a fan of
mustard and BBQ, this one's for you.
To make things even saucier, KFC customers can get a free
10-piece Saucy Nuggets when they spend $10 or more on a KFC.com or KFC app
purchase.**
"KFC has never been so finger lickin' good – literally," said
Nick Chavez, CMO KFC U.S. "We've
entered the sauce chat. Our KFC Nuggets – made from 100% white meat
chicken and hand-breaded with KFC's secret recipe of 11 herbs &
spices – dripping with these sauces create an unmatched flavor
experience, with something for every palate."
Self-proclaimed "sauce-perts" (definition: anyone with a strong
opinion about their preferred sauces) can enjoy KFC's Saucy Nuggets
on their own or plus up the experience with the combo meal,
which includes your flavor choice of 10-piece Saucy Nuggets, a
medium drink and Secret Recipe Fries for $9.99.*
No meal is complete without a little something sweet, so indulge
in KFC's newest snackable dessert: Apple Pie Poppers. Filled with
warm apple pie filling and wrapped in a buttery and flaky crust,
Apple Pie Poppers are everything you love about apple pie in a fun
bite! Even better, with four Apple Pie Poppers for $2.49,* this delicious dessert comes at a
wallet-friendly price.
