KFC is having an unusually significant menu innovation moment in October with the release of not just one, but four important new products. Exciting new meals and beverages are being introduced at the major chain restaurants in the United States on an almost daily basis.
The new Original Recipe chicken tenders from Kentucky Fried Chicken were introduced on October 14th, along with a new dipping sauce, dessert, and beverage. Each chicken tender has 170 calories. It used to be that KFC had chicken tenders that were prepared using its “Extra Crispy” recipe; however, the new tenders are double-breaded by hand using the chain’s famous Original Recipe, which contains eleven different herbs and spices that are kept a secret.
The firm had previously stated that the idea to offer a new type of chicken tender was motivated by the popularity of the Original Recipe Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets, which were introduced the previous year and included 180 calories per five-piece order.
We are pleased to announce the exceptional flavor of our new chicken tenders, seasoned with our proprietary blend of eleven distinct herbs and spices. We are aware that customers have a strong need for powerful flavors, and chicken tenders are a well-known favorite foods.
Catherine Tan-Gillespie, who serves as the chief marketing officer and chief development officer for KFC in the United States, made the following statement: “There is nothing that hits like the unmatched flavor of KFC’s Original Recipe.”
In order to complement its brand-new tenders, Kentucky Fried Chicken has created a new Comeback Sauce with a calorie count of 120. The company characterizes the sauce as “creamy, zesty,” and “craveable.” With the purchase for a new $5 Original Recipe Tenders Box meal bundle (930-1,110 calories), customers get the opportunity to receive three of the new tenders, fries, and their choice of two trademark sauces (including the new Comeback Sauce).
The new tenders may also be bought on their own or as part of a number of different combinations. For example, there is a Tenders + Nuggets Family Meal Deal that costs $24.99 and includes six tenders, twelve nuggets, two big sides, four biscuits, and six trademark dipping sauces. This deal has a total of 2,990-4,620 calories. The KFC app and website are the only places where you may take advantage of this deal.
For those who are fond of dessert, Kentucky Fried Chicken has recently introduced new Cherry Pie Poppers, which are crafted with warm cherry pie filling and a buttery and flaky shell. Each four-piece order features 290 calories. The business released its small Apple Pie Poppers almost seven months ago, which were filled with warm apple pie filling rather than cherries. The unveiling of these new delights comes about seven months after the chain introduced its Apple Pie Poppers.
The fourth new product to be introduced by Kentucky Fried Chicken is a Cranberry Lemonade, which has 320 calories per medium drink and combines the traditional sweet and sour beverage with hints of the seasonally appropriate tart berry.
As an additional perk for its followers, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is going to give away free Original Recipe Tenders on October 17 in the cities of Atlanta, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for as long as supplies are still available.
During the “13 Days of Daily Deals” promotion, which is scheduled to take place from October 19th through October 31st, the restaurant will also provide discounts on its newly introduced chicken tenders, fries, and other items. These exclusive offers will be made accessible just to members of the KFC Rewards program.
