This New KFC Menu Looks Worth The Plane Ticket

KFC’s been on a mission recently. A mission to dunk. Yes: This year, KFC has been seriously focused on its new Dunked menu items, which started to appear in several international markets throughout 2026 and feature its signature chicken, in its various forms, drenched in sauce. Naturally, enjoyment of its Dunked range depends entirely on your tolerance for every bite being moist and sauce-covered – personally speaking, I like a bit of control over all that – but clearly, enough people are into it for KFC to continue rolling it out.

And so we come to KFC India, which has just debuted its Korean Dunked menu. This one miiiight just sway me.

KFC India: Korean Dunked Menu

This week, KFC announced its Korean Dunked range, available at more than 1,400 restaurants across India. From its Boneless Chicken Strips to its leg pieces to its Zinger Burger, India-based customers can now order them drenched in a spicy gochujang sauce. The first thing to note here is this isn’t just some “throw it at the wall and hope it sticks” kind of experiment: Gochujang-coated fried chicken has a long precedent in Korean cuisine, and so KFC is just rolling with that concept in what feels like a fairly safe, but new and appropriately innovative move. I personally love Korean fried chicken, so I’m tentatively sold on this one, although I’m slightly wondering how KFC’s herb and spice blend will pair with the sauce here. 

Alas, I probably won’t find out any time soon, seeing that I’m in the UK – and, if you’re in the US, you may not be able to either. KFC hasn’t yet properly hit American markets with its Dunked range in a truly meaningful way, and even its new Marvel-inspired menu, which goes hard on the drenched vibes, won’t be available in the US. It does feel, though, like everything’s building toward a major Dunked drop for the States soon, though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when. And, indeed, if it will happen. 

The Year Of The Drench

KFC’s not the only fast food chain that’s getting saucy, and it’s not the only one doing so in India, either. Last week, we were discussing Burger King India’s new Avengers: Doomsday menu, which took the slightly curious decision to coat everything – and we mean everything – in a spicy garlic green sauce. If I had to pit the two against each other, I’d say KFC’s is the more successful, in terms of how the sauce flavor pairs with the base item, and in sheer appearance. Maybe it’s a sign of what’s to come, though. Soon, everything will be drenched. Everything.
