KFC is curious if its latest chicken concoctions are suitable for mass human consumption, and so the company has turned to Tampa residents to test out two new menu items for the foreseeable future.
Yesterday, the company announced that Tampa will be exposed to the new $6.99 Ultimate BBQ Sandwich, as well as the $5.99 Spicy Slaw Sandwich.
According to a press release, the The Ultimate BBQ KFC Chicken Sandwich features a crispy white meat filet, along with KFC's Honey BBQ sauce, crispy fried onions, hickory-smoked bacon, cheese and pickles on a brioche bun. The Spicy Slaw Sandwich has a similar chicken and bun setup, but instead comes with the company's standard coleslaw, spicy mayonnaise and pickles.
“This limited test of the Ultimate BBQ and Spicy Slaw chicken sandwiches is part of a continued commitment to giving customers more of what they want," said KFC U.S. CMO Nick Chavez in a statement. "We know our customers are looking for new, distinctive sandwich options and the Ultimate BBQ and Spicy Slaw offer flavor variety that builds on classic KFC ingredients. We think fans of spicy food will particularly love the kick of heat in our Spicy Slaw Sandwich.”
KFC has an
extensive list showing all the Tampa locations carrying the new sandwiches.
But if you miss out on of these things, just know that Tampa does have plenty of great location options serving up some
serious chicken sandwich heat...
