KFC is once again toying with the idea of adding tenders to its menu with the launch of new KFC Tenders in select markets. At the same time, the brand is also testing out new Comeback Sauce.
The new KFC Tenders consist of juicy strips of chicken breast meat double hand-breaded with KFC’s Original Recipe (the brand's secret blend of herbs and spices) and then fried until crispy and golden brown. This same recipe was originally tested in Cincinnati, Ohio last year, but not with the new sauce. This time around, the KFC Tenders are also being tested with a new Comeback Sauce, which is a creamy, zesty, and peppery condiment that is specially designed to pair with the brand's signature fried chicken.
The new KFC Tenders and Comeback Sauce are currently being tested at select locations in Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island for a limited time.
