KFC Set To Open Chicken Tenders Restaurant



KFC is set to shake up the fast food scene with Saucy, a new dining concept launching today in Orlando, Florida. Positioned as a flavor-forward dining destination, Saucy puts chicken tenders at the forefront, offering them with 11 signature sauces, including Chimichurri Ranch, Spicy Mango Chutney, and Smokey Bacon Ranch. The tenders, hand-breaded and fried in small batches, are complemented by sides like toasted Hawaiian rolls, crinkle-cut fries, and coleslaw. Diners can customize their experience with over 4,000 possible flavor combinations and combos starting at $7.99 for three tenders, fries, a toasted roll, a drink, and a dipping sauce. The restaurant breaks from KFC’s traditional branding, swapping its iconic red for a pink palette and offering kiosks, drive-thru lanes, and live entertainment like Friday night DJs at “Saucy SoirĂ©es.” It also integrates advanced tech to streamline operations and cut down wait times, ensuring tenders are served hot and fresh.
