Fast-food restaurant chain KFC is set to expand its Saucy Nuggets lineup with the introduction of three new flavours across the US, starting on 12 August.  

The latest offerings include Honey Garlic, Chipotle Ranch, and Mango Habanero sauces, which will complement the existing two flavours – Korean BBQ and Honey BBQ options.

Chipotle Ranch flavour combines the smoky heat of chipotle peppers with creamy ranch while Mango Habanero merges the sweetness of mango with the heat of habanero peppers for a ‘swicy’ sensation.  

The new Honey Garlic sauce offers a sweet and spicy profile, adding a new dimension to the classic honey and garlic taste, the company said.  

Meanwhile, the Korean BBQ sauce, known for its umami-rich blend of soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and sesame, returns alongside Honey BBQ, a mix of sweet, smoky, and tangy notes featuring brown sugar and honey. 

To mark the launch of these new flavours, KFC is set to embark on a US tour with the KFC Sauce Serve Truck, until the end of the mid-year period.

This KFC Sauce Serve Truck, which is a twist on the ice-cream truck, will offer free nuggets for trying the new flavours, alongside limited-edition merchandise and gift cards, available while stocks last. 

The tour kicks off at Seaport Square at Pier 17 in New York City on 17 August.  

It will then proceed to Austin, Texas, at the corner of South Congress and West Monroe St. on 24 August, before making its final stop in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at 1302 South Main St. on 7 September. 

KFC US CMO Nick Chavez said: “At KFC we continue to lead the ‘saucy parade’ with more new Saucy Nugget flavours. 

“Why get a saucy nugget from a burger joint when you can experience KFC’s 100% white-meat nuggets, hand-breaded with KFC’s Original Recipe and drenched in sauce?”
