Honey-Coated Chicken Tenders

KFC's Hot Honey Fried Chicken is Now Available in the Form of Tenders

— September 17, 2018 — Lifestyle
For those looking for something even hotter than KFC's Nashville Hot chicken, the chain has just debuted a new Hot Honey fried chicken flavor. While the addition of honey gives these tenders a touch of sweetness, this spicy snack is not recommended for those who can't handle some heat.

As of today, fans can now get their hands on Hot Honey fried chicken in the form of a tender basket of sandwich. Just as the name suggests, the chicken combines sweet honey and the spicy kick of pepper for a fiery dish with a touch of sweetness. According to the brans, the flavor is hotter than its Nashville Hot Chicken, Georgia Gold, and Smoky Mountain BBQ flavors, making it the perfect option for those who crave extra spice.

To celebrate the debut of the new flavor, KFC has teamed up with Pepsi to come up with the ultimate soda and fried chicken pairings. So those interested in trying the new tenders might want to grad a cup of Brisk Raspberry Iced Tea to help quell the heat.
