KFC’s New Spin-Off “Saucy” Is Giving Everything

@tastychomps KFC is launching a new dining concept called “Saucy” on December 20, 2024, in Orlando, Florida, marking its first location nationwide. Situated in East Orlando off Alafaya Drive near Curry Ford, Saucy is described as a “flavor-forward dining destination” centered on chicken tenders and 11 unique sauces inspired by KFC’s Original Recipe. The sauce lineup includes bold flavors like Chimichurri Ranch, Peri Peri Ranch, Smokey Bacon Ranch, Sweet ‘N Saucy BBQ, Spicy Mango Chutney, and more. Christophe Poirier, KFC’s chief new concept officer, highlighted the growing “sauce obsession,” emphasizing that Saucy amplifies flavor experiences and reimagines the iconic “Finger Lickin’ Good” slogan with a modern twist. Catering to the rising popularity of chicken tenders, Saucy offers customizable meals with tenders cooked fresh in small batches. Customers can select sauces individually or in flights. Beyond tenders, the menu features items like the EZ Crispy Sandwich and Spicy Queso Crunch Sandwich, with combos starting at $7.99. The restaurant’s design departs from traditional KFC aesthetics, featuring a pink color scheme, digital ordering kiosks, and live entertainment, such as “Saucy Soirées” on Fridays. Positioned as both a dining and social hub, it addresses the post-pandemic trend of younger customers seeking multifunctional spaces. #notanad #nothosted #lol ♬ original sound - Follow Us @TastyChomps
