KFC's Bold New Adventure: A Restaurant Dedicated to Chicken Tenders

Madison

Get ready to add a new hotspot to your food bucket list because KFC is breaking the mold once again. This December 20, the fried chicken giant is debuting Saucy, a revolutionary dining concept that puts chicken tenders in the spotlight. Opening its doors in Orlando, Florida, this isn’t your average fast food joint—it’s a whole vibe.

Described as a “flavor-forward dining destination,” Saucy takes everything you thought you knew about chicken tenders and levels it up. Think perfectly hand-breaded tenders fried fresh in small batches, paired with 11 signature sauces that sound almost too good to be true. There’s Chimichurri Ranch for the adventurous, Smokey Bacon Ranch for the indulgent, and Spicy Mango Chutney for those craving a tropical kick. Oh, and don’t forget the sides—crinkle-cut fries, toasted Hawaiian rolls, and coleslaw that might just spark a little nostalgia.


What makes Saucy even more exciting? Customization. With over 4,000 possible flavor combinations, you can curate your tender feast exactly how you like it. Combos start at just $7.99, including three tenders, fries, a toasted roll, a drink, and a dipping sauce. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The menu features elevated takes on chicken sandwiches, like the EZ Crispy Sandwich and Spicy Queso Crunch Sandwich. And for dessert? Indulgent treats like Chocolate Mousse Cake and a refreshing Key Lime Cake are ready to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Even the drinks are a showstopper, with 11 specialty beverages like Peach-Mango Lemonade, Hot Honey Watermelon Refresher, and Blue Raspberry Freezes to cool things down.

But what really sets Saucy apart is its modern, playful vibe. KFC is swapping its classic red branding for a sleek pink aesthetic, creating a space that feels fresh, youthful, and unapologetically fun. With kiosks for quick ordering, drive-thru lanes for convenience, and even live Friday night DJ sessions at their “Saucy Soirées,” this isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a destination. Advanced tech ensures that your tenders come out piping hot and ready to devour, cutting down wait times without sacrificing quality.


This bold concept, championed by KFC U.S. President Tarun Lal, is more than a tasty experiment—it’s a glimpse into the future of fast food. Backed by Yum Brands, Saucy combines innovative flavors, cutting-edge tech, and a modern aesthetic to create a fresh take on KFC’s iconic chicken.

Orlando locals, you’re in for a treat. The rest of us? We’ll just have to wait and hope this flavorful experience expands beyond Florida. One thing’s for sure—chicken tenders have never looked this good.
