The nuggets start off with chunks of premium chicken that has been hand-breaded and fried to perfection before being tossed in your choice of sauce. The chicken nuggets come in five flavors to choose from including Honey Sriracha, Korean BBQ, Sticky Chicky Sweet 'n Sour, Nashville Hot and Georgia Gold. The KFC Saucy Nuggets are slated to make their nationwide debut in the US market starting April 1, 2024 and can be enjoyed as part of a combo meal that comes with 10 pieces, Secret Recipe Fries and a drink for $9.99.
