KFC is bringing the sweet – and the heat – to its world famous fried chicken with its newest menu item, Hot Honey. Following its very limited time offer of Pickle Fried Chicken this summer, Blending golden honey with mild peppers, KFC’s Hot Honey is the latest in a series of new, exciting flavor innovations that the brand is bringing to fans of fried chicken on a broad scale.
Along with its new Hot Honey flavor, KFC’s newest Colonel is unlike any of his predecessors – because, well, he’s a bear. Just like his human inspiration, Colonel Sanders, Colonel Bear is obsessed with selling KFC fried chicken. As new ad spots show, sometimes Colonel Bear takes his dedication a little too far, leading to the sweet little bear’s fiery side coming out.
“Hot Honey adds a little kick to KFC lineup of authentic southern-inspired flavors. And they are bringing the flavor to life in a fun way, with our cutest –and feistiest –Colonel yet,” said Andrea Zahumensky, Chief Marketing Officer, KFC U.S. “Aside from his personality, the Colonel Bear’s physical appearance is adorably inspired by the nostalgic honey bottles in the shape of a bear that you mayhave had on yourkitchen tablegrowing up.”
