KFC is debuting three Saucy Nugget flavors beginning Aug. 12. The chicken brand will launch Honey Garlic, Chipotle Ranch and Mango Habanero alongside fan favorites Korean BBQ and Honey BBQ, according to a press release.

The new sauces will make their debut on a U.S. tour with the KFC Sauce Serve Truck, which hits the road Aug. 17 and makes stops in three U.S. cities. At the stops, fans can sauce their own (free) KFC Nuggets in their choice of flavor or try all the new drips, as well as snag limited-edition merch and gift cards while supplies last. The Sauce Serve Truck will make its first stop at Seaport Square at Pier 17 in NYC on Saturday, August 17 from 3-8:30 p.m. EST, then to Austin, Texas, at the corner of South Congress and West Monroe St. from 12-6 p.m. CST on Saturday, August 24. The truck makes its last stop at 1302 South Main St., Ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday, September 7 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. EST.

"At KFC we continue to lead the 'saucy parade' with more new Saucy Nugget flavors," Nick Chavez, CMO of KFC U.S., said in the press release. "Why get a saucy nugget from a burger joint when you can experience KFC's 100 percent white meat nuggets, hand-breaded with KFC's Original Recipe and drenched in sauce?"
