my last review<\/a>, there just so happens to be a KFC along my normal route home. When I heard about the new sauce, I was definitely interested, as sauces really make the meal when it comes to chicken-based finger foods.<\/p>\n![\"KFC](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/KFC-Sauce-on-Chicken.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1\" "\\"KFC")

Traditionally, I\u2019m a honey mustard type of girl. Something about that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and subtly spicy just makes me happy. I\u2019ve been known to slather it on everything from burgers to salads. I even got some as back up just in case I wasn\u2019t a fan of the new KFC Signature Sauce and was left with an abundance of tenders to finish unadorned. I am still somewhat surprised to report that it went entirely untouched. The new KFC Sauce is so good that it made me forsake my beloved honey mustard without even realizing it. Yep.<\/p>\n
In terms of flavor, it\u2019s reminiscent of barbecue sauce. A little sweet, a little tangy, a little sharp. But it differs distinctly from your standard barbecue sauce in that it\u2019s also creamy. <\/p>\n
I think I\u2019ve finally figured out why I love dipping my fries and onion rings in Thousand Island dressing. That creaminess factor just rounds out the flavor profile and adds that subtle silky mouthfeel that you didn\u2019t know what you were missing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The generous employees at KFC gifted me with two little sauce cups, so I used the other one to test out how well various things went with it. Pretzels, potato chips, and corn chips are all a resounding thumbs up.<\/p>\n
In comparison to the previous incarnation of the sauce, it\u2019s literally as if they turned the flavor dial up juuuuust enough. It\u2019s sweeter, it\u2019s tangier, it\u2019s all around kicked up a solid notch.<\/p>\n
Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n
The new KFC Signature Sauce replaces KFC’s Finger Lickin\u2019 Good Sauce.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
The new sauce is a total upgrade.<\/p>\n
