The KFC Saucy Sandwich is making its way to participating locations as a new take on the brand's fan-favorite chicken sandwich for customers to try out. The sandwich is crafted with a piece of the brand's signature all-white meat chicken breast fillet that has been double-breaded and fried to perfection, served on a toasted brioche un with the Colonel's mayo and pickle slices. The sandwich comes topped with your choice of five sauces including Honey Garlic, Chipotle Ranch, Mango Habanero, Signature Honey BBQ and Korean BBQ.
The KFC Saucy Sandwich is priced at $6.49 and is arriving on the heels of the brand's Saucy Nuggets, which all help to play with taste and texture while also broadening choice for customers.
