KFC Unveils Global Revamp With 20 New Sauces and Expanded Drinks

The company hopes the menu and design changes will broaden snack and beverage occasions to help it reclaim share in the crowded quick‑service chicken market.

Overview

  • KFC, which announced the global “next chapter” on June 15, published full product lists and began initial rollouts in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
  • The relaunch centers on 20 new sauces, an expanded Dunked lineup of sauced tenders and sandwiches, and more than 10 new beverages under the Kwench platform.
  • Dunked items are already available in South Africa and India and select sauces and drinks went live in the U.K. and Ireland after the announcement.
  • KFC will use prototype locations to test execution, including an open‑concept Open House in McKinney, Texas later this summer and an immersive two‑story Dubai flagship this fall.
  • The company has not given a firm timeline for a broad U.S. rollout, leaving U.S. availability and customer response as the key next indicators to watch.
