<\/a>latest Colonel Sanders made his debut along with the chicken chain’s new Georgia Gold Honey Mustard BBQ Chicken.<\/p>\nLet me preface by saying I’m a connoisseur of anything honey mustard-flavored. Amongst the fast food landscape there is the full gamut of choices, from Chick-fil-A\u2019s non-creamy offering to Papa John\u2019s liquid euphoria that I would very much like to bathe in. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s the thing about honey mustard and its flavor profile, it\u2019s all over the place. As Forrest Gump\u2019s mom would say, \u201cHoney mustard is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you\u2019re gonna get.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is it cream based? What\u2019s the honey-to-mustard ratio? How seedy is it? Let\u2019s see where Georgia Gold lies. <\/p>\n
(Side note – KFC, how bout Tom Hanks as the next colonel? I BET HE WOULD CRUSH IT.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The chicken tenders I got came in an order of three in their own little container with some pickles for good measure. While I do love a good pickle, I’m not a huge fan when they are hot as they lose some of their gratifying crunch. They were marginal at best. I ate them first just so I could move quickly on to the stars of the dish, the tenders themselves, which were fantastic. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The meat inside was juicy, like insanely juicy, which I definitely was not expecting. The breading was, as I like to call it, Goldilocks<\/em>-style. Not too crunchy or too mushy, it was juuuuuussssssst right.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/KFC-Georgia-Gold-Chicken-4.jpeg?resize=600%2C436&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
With the perfect meat and breading I was excited for some intense flavor. However, it never materialized. It was hard to distinguish any flavor at all actually. As I looked to the bottom of the container, I saw what had happened. It had all pooled to the bottom grooves of the container so I decided to scoop up the concoction with my spork.<\/p>\n
Once in my mouth, I got all the flavors I was hoping for. Hints of mustard and honey, a slight BBQ essence, even a little bit of heat towards the end, and all surprisingly well balanced. All notes could have been a bit stronger and I wish it was more of a smooth sauce rather than being slightly clumpy and oily, but regardless it was tasty!<\/p>\n
I remedied the rest of my meal by adding the mixture right on top of the remaining tenders. After I was finished, forget my fingers, I wanted to lick those grooves. Yum, this was CONTAINER LICKIN\u2019 GOOD!<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Goldilocks-style breading. Insanely juicy white meat chicken. Tom Hanks as the new Colonel. A bathtub full of your favorite condiment.
\nCons:<\/b> Trying out a new honey mustard = taste bud Russian roulette. Georgia Gold sauce fleeing the tenders for the safety of the container grooves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
