The heart of Saucy is all about spotlighting KFC’s iconic chicken while slathering it with 11 unique sauces—a tasty nod to the Colonel’s legendary 11 herbs and spices. But it doesn’t stop there—they’re pairing it with 11 specialty drinks, too. It’s like a flavor playground, and I’m here for it!
What’s got me hooked? Let’s break it down:
Sauce Mania: Variety is the spice of life, and Saucy is leaning hard into the sauce trend. Fun fact—research from Technomic says 34% of diners pick a spot just for the sauces and seasonings. KFC’s jumping on that vibe with 11 drool-worthy options like Chimichurri Ranch, Peri Peri Ranch, Jalapeño Pesto Ranch, Smokey Bacon Ranch, Thai Sweet ‘N Spicy, Sweet ‘N Saucy BBQ, Saucy’s Sauce (mysterious and intriguing!), Spicy Mango Chutney, Saucy Ranch, Creole Honey Mustard, and Sweet Teriyaki. Dip, dunk, or drizzle—your call!
Drink Game On Point: Saucy isn’t just about the food—it’s got a killer lineup of specialty drinks, too. Think fruity refreshers like Guava and Hot Honey Watermelon, or icy freezes like Peach-Mango and Blue Raspberry. It’s a sip-worthy twist that elevates the whole experience.
Mix It Your Way: Flexibility is king here. You can grab any of the 11 sauces solo or go big with a “sauce flight” of four. The menu’s built for personalization—a three-strip combo with a side, drink, and your sauce of choice starts at just $7.99. They claim there are over 4,000 ways to mix and match. Challenge accepted!
Freshness First: Those crispy strips? Cooked in small batches to order, so you’re getting that just-made goodness every time. No sad, soggy leftovers here.
The Full Spread: Alongside the star strips, you’ve got warm Hawaiian rolls, golden fries, and classic coleslaw to round out the meal. Comfort food with a twist!
Sweet Finish: Dessert lovers, rejoice—there’s chocolate mousse cake and zesty lime mousse cake to cap it off. A little indulgence never hurt anyone.
Tech Touch: Self-order kiosks make it quick and easy to customize your order. Modern vibes all the way!
KFC’s testing the waters with Saucy, and I’m loving the boldness. Scale this up, and you’ve got a winner! Who else is ready to dive into this flavor-packed concept?
