KFC is set to offer their take on Georgia's lesser-known honey mustard-based barbecue with the national release of new Georgia Gold Chicken on Sunday, January 29, 2017.

Similar to the chain's Nashville Hot Chicken, Georgia Gold Chicken is actually a new saucing option for a number of fried chicken menu items, including tenders, bone-in chicken, wings, and Chicken Littles sandwiches. The sauce itself is a sweet and tangy honey mustard barbecue sauce.

With this and their Nashville item a while back, I guess KFC will continue trying different regional approaches going forward for their new limited-time menu items.

That Nashville Hot Chicken was pretty damn good all things considered, hope this follows suit.

 

[SDCowboy]

I hope it's better than their Nashville entry.

 

[HvySky]

Trump approved.

Now I'm hungry. Thanks, OP.

 

[Veritigo_X]

I assume it'll be another sad imposter like their Nashville hot chicken.

I'll try it.

 

[Goro Majima]

Shocked they didn't keep the Nashville Hot Chicken around permanently. Probably the best thing on their menu.

Also surprising that it's gone since I watched them make some and it looked like they just squirt some sauce out of a bottle on top of regular chicken tenders and then throw on some cheap pickle slices. Maybe there's more to it?

 

[BoosterDuck]

the Nashville Hot Chicken is godlike it doesn't need to be replaced

 

[Slayven]

Nah I am good, being from Georgia i know what good fried chicken is

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

We never even got to try the Nashville Hot in the uk. :/

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yeah, KFC and the phrase "good fried chicken" don't belong in the same universe.

 

[breakfuss]

why are there pickles in that image.

 

[maxcriden]

I wonder why it's called Georgia Gold when it's SC that's known for mustard-based BBQ.

South Carolina Mustard Sauce – Part of South Carolina is known for its yellow barbecue sauces made primarily of yellow mustard, vinegar, sugar and spices. This sauce is most common in a belt from Columbia to Charleston, an area settled by many Germans. Vinegar-based sauces with black pepper are common in the coastal plains region as in North Carolina, and thin tomato- and vinegar-based sauces are common in the hilly regions as in North Carolina.

[PixelatedBookake]

This won't get me to eat you KFC. Give up.

 

[breakfuss]

What they need to do is bring back the double down!

 

[Goro Majima]

I think some people are excused since they lack Popeyes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue_sauce#United_States

because it's honey mustard not mustard vinegar based.

 

[SliceSabre]

Now see that's what I'm down for KFC.

 

[foppy79]

But...it never went away...

Being from SC, I was wondering the same thing.

The absolute best mustard-based BBQ I've ever had is from a little (and formerly highly controversial) place in the middle of the state called Maurice's Piggie Park BBQ. The flavor of their basic mustard-based sauce is one of my favorite flavors of anything period. It's so freakin' delicious.

Now with all of that said, I can't wait to try this from KFC.

 

[BumRush]

I have a KFC 2 miles from my house and Popeyes (or other viable fried chicken chains) 30+. Hoping this is good.

Is it gone? I just had some last Saturday.

 

[morningbus]

Nashville Hot Chicken was surprisingly good, so I'm willing to fuck with this.

Oh man, you weren't kidding. Just read the Wikipedia page.

 

[Panthalassic]

Hated Nashville chicken, so I hope this is good.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Their Nashville Hot Chicken was fine, but by far the greasiest thing I've ever eaten in my life. Like, to the point where it might have been a mistake.

 

[HiResDes]

Yeah their Nashville Hot was a decent representation for sure, just wish it were a little less greasy

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Isn't a Honey Mustard BBQ sauce more of a Carolina thing?

Yeah, not joking at all. The dude died a few years ago and the second he was underground the entire family revamped the locations. He used to have things in every store location, rebel flags and just all kinds of stuff, wall to wall. There isn't a trace of any of that anymore and stores are again back to selling the sauces in grocery stores and on Amazon and places.

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

As a Georgian, if this type of sauce is associated with our state it's news to me.

 

[Tizoc]

Does KFC in the US really offer pickles with the chicken? I've never seen that happen over here before.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Will have to try. Bet it still shits all over Popeyes.

 

[Shmuppers]

oh

my

GAWD

 

[spindashing]

beautiful

 

[Goro Majima]

Is it gone? I just had some last Saturday.

It's been a while since I've had KFC but there's no mention of it on their website. A google search brings you to a page that wants you to sign up for some kind of email thing to let you know when it's coming back.

Will have to try. Bet it still shits all over Popeyes.

 

[New002]

Yup. I'm in there for this.

 

[NervousXtian]

The Nashville hot was legit... I'll try this too.

KFC get's too much hate.. maybe some of you have bad stores.. not sure.

 

[Caja 117]

Last time I went to KFC they game an undercooked chicken, never again.

 

[molnizzle]

wow are people really talking shit about Popeyes in here

 

[Pinko Marx]

As a Georgian, if this type of sauce is associated with our state it's news to me.

Same here. I've seen some BBQ sauces brand themselves as "Savannah-style" but I've never met a single real person claim a certain BBQ style as our own.

Also all you Popeye's haters should just never eat fried chicken again in your lives. Clearly you're doing it wrong.

 

[Raw64life]

I'm all for shitting on KFC but the Nashville hot chicken was actually decent so I will give this a shot as well.

 

[TheCochese]

As a Georgian, if this type of sauce is associated with our state it's news to me.

Same. IDKWTF this is.

 

[Kaiser Swayze]

I suppose I'll just stroll to my local BBQ joint and insist on some Georgia Gold we're known so well for, and then have the police called on me.

 

[Deacon]

Why do they always put pickles on the chicken now. That shit is nasty.

 

[Zantetsuken]

Bojangles the real MVP though.


I liked the Nashville Hot Chicken from KFC, so I'll try this out as well.

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

lol, they should stop trying. You can't throw a pickle on everything and talk about "Mmm, this some good southern fried chicken." garbage

 

[TheCochese]

Y'all fuck off shitting on pickles.

 

[Frozenprince]

How you gonna fuck up Gold Chicken?

Takes a powerful fukkery to fuck up Gold Chicken.

 

[norm9]

I'd try it with Nashville hot chicken sauce drenching it.

 

[Charcoal]

Mustard chicken is God's gift to man
