Global QSR fried chicken chain KFC has this month launched a new restaurant concept in Orlando, USA, a flavour-forward dining destination focused on chicken tenders. Visitors have the chance to dip, dunk and customise their tenders meal with 11 different sauces, complemented by an 11-beverage line-up that includes a variety of teas, freezes and refreshers.
"Everyone is obsessed with sauce – more is more," said KFC Chief New Concept Officer, Christophe Poirier. "With Saucy, we've taken KFC's famous Original Recipe and amplified it with a brand-new concept that lets consumers play with flavour. You can pick a combo, choose a flight of sauces or, my personal favourite, mix sauces and sides to create your perfect meal. We're sauce people, not math people, but we tried to calculate it and there seems to be over 4,000 different ways you could order at Saucy and have a different flavour experience every time."
At the heart of Saucy's menu is its list of 11 sauces, which customers can order individually or in a flight of four with their choice of tenders – all hand-breaded and fried in small batches as a part of Saucy's made-to-order meal philosophy. Sauces and tenders can be paired with toasted Hawaiian rolls, crinkle cut fries and coleslaw. Sauces on offer include:
- Chimichurri Ranch
- Peri Peri Ranch
- Jalapeno Pesto Ranch
- Smokey Bacon Ranch
- Thai Sweet 'N Spicy
- Sweet 'N Saucy BBQ
- Saucy's Sauce
- Spicy Mango Chutney
- Saucy Ranch
- Creole Honey Mustard
- Sweet Teriyaki
