Made for flavor explorers, Saucy! by KFC’s latest menu drop lets guests chart their own crave journey. Comfort food meets creativity, from bold indulgence to fresh, lighter bites –every dish is built to mix, match and play your way.

The new menu takes customization to the next level, allowing guests to start with their pick—tendies, sammie, rice bowl, salad, Chick’ito or Grand’ito—and then match it with a sauce for any mood, from Sweet ’N Saucy BBQ on Teriyaki Bowls to Chick’itos dipped in Jalapeño Pesto Ranch. With 11+ signature sauces and rotating limited time drops, there are thousands of craveable combinations for guests to remix their way.

“People don’t just want another chicken tender, they want to play with flavor,” said Poirier. “We’ve built Saucy! around the idea of giving guests a platform to experiment, explore and make it theirs. From sauces to bases to sides, every visit hits different.”

Designed with a modern, kinetic look and tech-forward vibe, Saucy! by KFC restaurants feature drive-thru lanes, self-serve kiosks and scroll-stopping spaces built for hanging out and showing up. The Saucy! app takes customization even further, offering guests more than 20 points of personalization to build their meal and unlock unique “flavors with benefits” tailored to their tastes.

Rooted in KFC’s legacy of crave-worthy chicken and built for a new generation, Saucy! levels up the tendie game with flavor exploration at the center of every meal — from sweet heat to global spice, every bite made to match your vibe.

The new locations offer vibrant spaces, music and a neighborhood energy offering local events, from spirit nights and pop-up collabs to social content that amplifies local voices, Saucy! shows up in the community with the same buzz it brings to the kitchen
