KFC expands its Southern-inspired flavors lineup with the introduction of new Hot Honey.

Inspired by the popular mash-up of golden honey blended with mild peppers, KFC’s latest saucy flavor offers a burst of sweet honey with the spicy kick of pepper.

The new flavor joins the brand’s existing Southern-inspired flavors – Nashville Hot, Georgia Gold and Smoky Mountain BBQ – as a saucing option on Extra Crispy Tenders, Crispy Colonel Sandwiches, Chicken Littles and Extra Crispy Chicken.

Hot Honey was originally tested at select locations in Norfolk, Virginia and New York state last November.

As part of the chain’s nationwide Hot Honey campaign, KFC is also introducing its “cutest and feistiest –Colonel yet,” Colonel Bear. Inspired by the nostalgic honey bottles in the shape of a bear, KFC is offering fans a chance adopt their very own vintage-inspired, pull string talking Colonel Bear figurine by filling out the form at KFC.com/adoptacolonelbear starting Monday, September 17, 2018. Just bear in mind that quantities are limited.
