KFC Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich captures the flavors of summer
While the backyard grill might be lit, some people might prefer to hit the drive-thru for those summer flavors. The new KFC Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich might have people ordering instead of cooking for that summer gathering.
BBQ and summer go hand in hand. Even if that sauce can get fingers a little sticky, the flavor is worth using those extra napkins. According to KFC, the new sandwich features Extra Crispy 100 percent white meat filet topped with hickory smoked bacon, KFC’s signature honey BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, melted cheese and pickles. The sandwich is served on a brioche bun.
Speaking to the new KFC Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich, Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S. said, “With the best tastes of summer and our finger lickin’ good fried chicken between two buttery brioche buns, the Ultimate BBQ Fried Chicken Sandwich is an invitation to savor every last joyful ‘bite’ of summer. It’s a BBQ in every bite!”
Looking at the new sandwich, the enjoyment is more than just the honey BBQ sauce that captures people’s attention. It is the texture in every bite. The Extra Crispy stands up to the sauce and the cheese. There is still crunchiness in every bite, especially with the crispy fried onions and pickles.
Plus, the flavors hit the entire spectrum. There is sweet, salty, sour, and everything that satisfies on this sandwich. And, the brioche bun stands up to that hearty bite. Grandma might have some good fried chicken, but this summertime food offering might put her secret recipe on pause for a couple of months.
