KFC® Revives Fan-Favorite Original Honey BBQ Sauce and Offers Throwback Deals

KFC®'s Big Comeback: Welcome Back, Original Honey BBQ!

KFC is on a roll with its exciting menu revivals, much to the delight of its fans. After the much-anticipated return of Wedges and Wings, the fast-food giant is now bringing back one of its most beloved sauces: the Original Honey BBQ. This fan-favorite will be available starting October 6, marking a sweet moment for those who have long awaited its comeback.

A Culinary Nostalgia

Originally introduced in the late 1990s, the Original Honey BBQ sauce quickly captured the hearts of KFC enthusiasts with its perfect combination of sweetness and smokiness. Over the years, a loyal fanbase emerged, pleading on social media for its return. Many have even shared their own copycat recipes, nostalgic stories, and relived memories associated with this iconic sauce. Their calls have finally been answered as KFC reintroduces the Original Honey BBQ in a more versatile way than ever before.

For the first time, fans can now enjoy the Original Honey BBQ on all their favorite KFC items. Whether you prefer classic pieces of chicken, the KFC Chicken Sandwich, or even tenders, this sauce is elevating taste buds everywhere. The combination of the fried chicken texture with this signature sauce is undoubtedly a match made in heaven. It promises to make every meal a finger-lickin' good experience, just as the brand's famed tagline suggests.

Bigger and Better

But that's not all; the introduction of the Original Honey BBQ also comes with a unique twist. KFC has decided to refresh the experience itself by revamping its wet napkins — yes, you read that right! Known for being the first fast-food chain to include moist towelettes with its meals, KFC is now serving up larger napkins that can handle the delicious mess that comes from indulging in their saucy chicken dishes.

Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President of KFC U.S., highlighted the significance of this sauce's return, stating, “KFC's Original Honey BBQ wasn't just a menu offering, it became a cultural touchstone that fans have been craving and asking us to bring back for years.” This sentiment underscores how deeply connected KFC is with its customers’ culinary desires.

Throwback Pricing

In addition to the return of this flavorful sauce, KFC is offering its famous Chicken Sandwich at an unbeatable price of just $3.99. This nostalgic offer harkens back to simpler times and serves up added value to hungry patrons. Customers can select either the Classic or Spicy version, both featuring an Extra Crispy™ chicken breast filet nestled between a toasted brioche bun, complete with a choice of pickles and the Colonel's real mayo or spicy mayo.

With this amazing deal, it's no wonder that KFC is making headlines. Contrary to popular belief, KFC's Chicken Sandwich is bigger than its competition at Chick-fil-A® and is available on Sundays — a true gamechanger for fried chicken lovers!

Scary Good Deals

As Halloween approaches, KFC is further enhancing its comeback with exclusive Scary Good Deals available through the KFC app and website. From October 18 to 31, KFC Rewards members can unlock special offers on a variety of menu items, including significant savings on Chicken Sandwiches and buckets of chicken. The love and feedback from loyal customers are key drivers in shaping KFC's ever-evolving menu.

KFC's Future Plans

As the brand marches forward in its comeback era, it is keen on maintaining an open dialogue with fans regarding their preferences for future offerings. KFC has a rich history dating back to 1952, serving up its signature fried chicken and side dishes, and it aims to once again solidify its place as a culinary icon.

With an impressive network of over 30,000 restaurants in 150 countries, KFC proudly stands as a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., continually dedicated to providing its patrons with a menu that delivers not only amazing flavors but also memories that last a lifetime.
