Here’s everything you need to know about why everyone is talking about these irresistible new sauces from KFC.
Earlier this summer, KFC came out with one of the most anticipated fast food release of the season when they dropped the new Saucy Nuggets. It was a completely new take on the chicken nugget experience. Instead of having to dip your nuggets, these nuggets already come coated in the sauce of your choice. It hit the scene with four new flavors plus a returning fan-favorite sauce and became a massive hit. KFC once again proved that they’re the best when it comes to anything related to chicken. And it looks like they’re not even close to done. They just announced that they’ll be dropping new flavors for their Saucy Nuggets.
KFC is about to make summer more interesting with the launch of three new Saucy Nuggets flavors. The new flavors are flavors we’ve never seen before from KFC. These are Honey Garlic, Chipotle Ranch, and Mango Habanero. These sauces will join popular options like the returning Korean BBQ and Honey BBQ. Let’s take a closer look at these sauces:
- (NEW) Chipotle Ranch – Chipotle is a classic flavor that features the smoky and spicy taste from chipotle peppers. This new sauce combines that mild spice with creamy ranch for a nice little twist on a classic flavor.
- (NEW) Mango Habanero – Ready for something spicy with a citrusy, fruity zing? The Mango Habanero takes the sweetness of mango and the fiery habanero to create a new blend that perfectly balances sweet and spicy flavors at the same time.
- (NEW) Honey Garlic – Honey and garlic just belong together like peanut butter and jelly. This new sauce hits the right notes of honey and garlic with a slight kick just to keep things interesting.
- (Returning) Korean BBQ – Anyone who’s had Korean barbecue before can tell you it has a distinct blend of sweet and savory flavors. This returning sauce captures the same essence and features soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and sesame, creating a perfect recreation of the experience.
- (Returning) Honey BBQ – Here’s another classic sauce flavor. The Honey BBQ sauce is both smoky and tangy at the same time. It’s made with brown sugar, honey, and secret spices. If you want something more akin to a traditional BBQ, you can’t go wrong with this sauce.

KFC sure is building hype for these new flavors. You want to know how we know? Because they’re promoting it in a very unique way. To celebrate the release of these new flavors, KFC is launching the Sauce Serve Truck, a fun twist on classic ice cream trucks.

These trucks will tour the U.S. starting on August 17, 2024 and will make stops in three cities.
