Georgia Gold chicken
KFCs in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Mobile, Ala., are offering the chain’s new Georgia Gold bone-in and boneless fried chicken until Sept. 4 in what the chain describes as a test.
The point of difference from other varieties of fried chicken, according to the chain, is the incorporation of a honey mustard barbecue flavor. It’s used in KFC’s Extra Crispy fried chicken and chicken fingers.
"We purposely paired the traditional southern market of Mobile with the northern mentality of Pittsburgh to determine how guests with different regional taste buds would take to Georgia Gold," said Kevin Hochman, CMO of KFC’s domestic operations. "After numerous trials, we are confident we got it right."
