KFC is introducing a new concept called Saucy, focused on chicken tenders, sauces, and beverages. The brand will debut in Orlando, Fla., with more locations planned, and includes 11 sauces and 11 beverages, a nod to KFC’s Original Recipe with 11 herbs and spices. In addition to individual and sauce flights, Saucy also sells sandwiches, combos, and desserts. KFC’s chief new concept officer Christophe Poirier said there are more than 4,000 ways to order from Saucy to “have a different flavor experience every time.”

The sauces include Chimichurri Ranch, Peri Peri Ranch, Jalapeño Pesto Ranch, Smokey Bacon Ranch, Thai Sweet 'N Spicy, Sweet 'N Saucy BBQ, Saucy's Sauce, Spicy Mango Chutney, Saucy Ranch, Creole Honey Mustard, and Sweet Teriyaki.

“Everyone is obsessed with sauce – more is more,” said Poirier, who joined the chain in January. “With Saucy, we’ve taken KFC’s famous Original Recipe and amplified it with a brand-new concept that lets consumers play with flavor.”
