Recently, KFC has joined the trend of other fast food chains by launching a spin-off concept restaurant. With competition from Popeyes, Chick-fil-A, and Dave's Hot Chicken, KFC has upped their game with this new venture. Saucy by KFC has opened in Orlando, Florida and it's already creating a buzz. Some fans have even declared it to be the best restaurant of all time.
At Saucy, customers can expect the same original recipe chicken tenders that KFC is known for, as well as two new chicken sandwiches: the Ez Crispy and the Spicy Queso Crunch. However, the main attraction is the wide variety of sauces. With 11 unique options, there's something for everyone. From cool ranch-style sauces to spicier options and even sweeter choices, the sauce menu is diverse and exciting.
In addition to the chicken and sauces, Saucy also offers sides like crinkle cut fries, coleslaw, and Hawaiian rolls, as well as dessert options like chocolate and key lime cake jars. But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Saucy is its unique drinks menu. Featuring beverages like Hot Honey Watermelon Refresher and Peach and Mango Lemonade, Saucy offers a refreshing twist on the typical fast food drink options.
What sets Saucy apart from other KFC restaurants is its focus on sauces. Customers can customize their orders by choosing from a variety of combinations and even creating their own perfect meal. Christophe Poirier, KFC's chief new concept officer, explains, "Everyone is obsessed with sauce – more is more. With Saucy, we've taken KFC's famous Original Recipe and amplified it with a brand-new concept that lets consumers play with flavor."
To add to the unique experience, Saucy has ditched the traditional red and white KFC branding in favor of a bold hot pink design. And there's even live entertainment, with DJs and more to come. If the initial launch is successful, KFC plans to open more Saucy restaurants in the future.
Other fast food chains have also jumped on the spin-off bandwagon, with varying degrees of success. In 2024, McDonald's launched CosMc's in the US, featuring a drive-thru and a menu with unique drinks like Churro Frappe and Sour Cherry Energy Burst. PizzaExpress also tried their hand at a spin-off concept with their Pizza Pod, a grab-and-go service outside a Tesco Express store. And Honest Burger has reinvented their Liverpool Street restaurant with a focus on smash burgers.
But for now, all eyes are on Saucy by KFC. Reviews from customers have been overwhelmingly positive, with some even proclaiming it to be the best restaurant of all time. With its unique focus on sauces and exciting menu options, Saucy has definitely made its mark in the fast food scene. Have you tried it yet? Let us know in the comments!
