KFC’s New Restaurant Concept Unveils ‘Creative’ Menu Item
In December 2024, KFC launched a new restaurant, KFC Saucy! The focus of the new concept restaurant was tenders and a lineup of 11 delicious new sauces.
The number 11 is no coincidence and is a testament to the 11 herbs and spices in KFC's Original Recipe.
The first location was opened in Orlando, Florida, in December, and the company plans on opening more locations in the future.
Now, a new menu item has been item as they try to stay in competition with Taco Bell, McDonald's, and other fast food chains.
The new menu item is a chicken wrap, per Alicia Kelso of Nation's Restaurant News.
"KFC’s Saucy concept is starting to get a little creative with its menu six months after its debut. The company announced today the launch of a Chick’ito BBQ wrap, featuring crispy chicken tenders served in a warm tortilla with sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, jalapeño slaw, and a dill pickle spear."
KFC now follows suit with other fast food restaurants that are expanding the chicken category.
Taco Bell recently released a chicken burrito and even chicken nuggets, and McDonald's announced their chicken snack wrap is making a comeback in July.
Popeyes also launched a new chicken wrap, and now KFC's new restaurant is testing it out.
The iconic fried chicken restaurant continues to expand its landscape, and now the new Saucy restaurant has a new menu item that should bring in even more visitors to its only location.
