Wendy\u2019s has been in the limelight this June with the release of their brand new Saucy Nuggets, which have finally made it to menus after a long test phase. The nuggets come in four flavors, including Buffalo, Ghost Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, plus a new flavor \u2013 Honey BBQ. Speaking of the decision to release Saucy Nuggets nationwide, Wendy\u2019s Global Vice President of Culinary Innovation, John Li said: \u201cwhat they [Gen Z] want to eat protein-wise [is] chicken, chicken, chicken.\u201d This is true according to a survey conducted by Piper Sandler, who found that Chick-fil-A was the most popular restaurant among teens. But Wendy\u2019s isn\u2019t the only one taking note. Mega-popular chicken chain KFC is stepping up its game too, bringing out its series of nuggets. This summer\u2019s nuggets include: Honey BBQ: A sweet, smoky, and tangy sauce with brown sugar and honey rounding out the tanginess of tomato and secret spices. This fan-favorite classic BBQ sauce is made for the traditionalists. – Korean BBQ: A sweet and savory umami sauce with soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and sesame. This is the sauce for the global flavor explorers and fans of umami flavor. – Honey Sriracha: A sweet heat sauce using a blend of red chili peppers, garlic, and honey. Playing into the demand for sweet heat flavor, this sauce is for you if you have a little bit of sweetness plus a little bit of heat in you. – \u201cIn response to requests from our customers, we\u2019re rolling out our popular Honey BBQ sauce on our nuggets. KFC guests have loved our Saucy Nuggets and we\u2019re excited to continue to introduce new flavors into the mix,\u201d said Nick Chavez, CMO of KFC U.S. \u201cOur Saucy Nuggets are made the KFC way \u2013 starting with our 100% white meat chicken nuggets, hand-breaded by our cooks with our distinctive Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices and sauced to perfection.\u201d In addition to this, to add great value to their meals, KFC is extending its popular $10 Tuesdays deal. This means you can grab a bucket of KFC\u2019s eight drumsticks and thighs for only ten dollars every Tuesday.
