Georgia Gold Chicken is KFC’s Latest Item Drumming Up Excitement
Last year, Kentucky Fried Chicken brought Nashville Hot Chicken to nationwide locations and we suddenly had one great reason to frequent the fried chicken chain.
Now, KFC will be introducing a new regional style of chicken that’s we can’t wait to get our greasy hands on: Georgia Gold Chicken. The Gold chicken is available in Extra Crispty Chicken Tenders, Chicken Littles, and Extra Crispy Chicken. The KFC chicken is tossed in a special sweet and tangy honey mustard BBQ sauce and served with pickles.
KFC had a test run for the new menu item at select locations around the country, but will now be offering the Georgia Gold Chicken nationwide on Jan. 29, reports Chew Boom.
If the quality is anywhere near the same as KFC’s Nashville Hot Chicken, KFC’s onto yet another treasure trove.

The New Colonel Sanders Is the Villain From ‘Titanic’
Will the real Colonel Sanders please stand up? KFC has tapped more than a dozen actors to play the role of its white-suited founder, and its latest selection is truly the Colonel that America deserves in 2017: the villain from Titanic, AKA actor Billy Zane.
While most people will remember Zane as the domestic-abusing wretch who tried to keep Jack and Rose apart, he’s now playing the part of the “Georgia Gold Colonel” in an ad spot promoting KFC’s new honey mustard barbecue-glazed chicken, as Adweek reports. Zane-as-Sanders is what one can only assume President Donald Trump aspires to be in his wildest fantasies: completely gilded from head to toe, with a solid gold office to match.
KFC first revived the Colonel in 2015 when it appointed Saturday Night Live alum Darrell Hammond to play the part as part of an 5 million brand revamp; he was quickly succeeded by Norm Macdonald and then Jim Gaffigan, and things have gotten progressively weirder since: Mad Men’s Vincent Kartheiser (AKA the loathsome Pete Campbell) briefly stepped in, and famously tanned actor George Hamilton took a turn as the “Extra Crispy Colonel” hawking fried chicken-scented sunscreen.
Though comedian David Alan Grier took to Twitter at one point to proclaim he was the the first black Colonel, that sadly turned out to be a joke. But perhaps it’s time for the fried chicken chain to bring the Colonel into the 21st century by looking beyond the realm of white male Hollywood actors.
Watch Zane try the Colonel Sanders role on for size in the ad, below:
