Unlike a traditional KFC, Saucy focuses more on customization and bold flavors. The restaurant features more than 10 signature sauces ranging from sweet and smoky to spicy and tangy, letting customers mix and match flavors with crispy chicken tenders, wraps, bowls and fries.

The restaurant not only focuses on fresh food but also on customizable meals. Everything has a chicken tender base, but it can be made in many different ways. Like in a bowl, a sandwich, a wrap and more.

Inside, the restaurant has a bright and modern design with bold pink colors and a more tech-driven ordering experience. The concept leans heavily into sauce culture, encouraging customers to create different flavor combinations every visit. Some of the featured sauces include Chimichurri Ranch, Sweet Teriyaki, Korean heat and more. Starting in August, the restaurant will introduce a new featured sauce every month that will rotate regularly.

General Manager, Andrew Grosshans, said they're just getting started, " We wanted to create sauces for everyone. We all don't like the same thing. Some people don't like mayo-based sauces, and others don't like sweet sauces. At Saucy, we have something for everyone."

Saucy by KFC is located at 5088 Airport Pulling Rd. in Naples and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
