Pickles with chicken is good shit. Especially a chick fil a sandwich.


My KFC sucks so I probably won't try this.

You should stand up for your mustard-based heritage!

 

[LionPride]

First they sell a poor imitation of Nashville Hot Chicken, then they sell this?

 

[Skatterd]

The nashville hot chicken wasn't as good the second time around for some reason.
That said, day 1 for this.

Hard pass.

I hate mustard.

 

[jstevenson]

the Nashville chicken, for KFC, was solid.

In comparison to real Nashville chicken? Hell no. It's not even close.

 

[SDBurton]

Their Nashville hot chicken was dope. I'm so down to try some Georgia Gold.

 

[Complistic]

I've no idea how KFC stays in business.

edit: actually looking at this thread, I now understand.

 

[Oblivion]

Damn XiaNaphryz, you subscribed to a KFC newsfeed or something? Haha


This new chicken looks good, but I've never been a huge fan of honey mustard. Really liked the Nashville chicken though, so I'm willing to give it a shot.

 

[Pyccko]

mustard means a fat no thanks from me. shame, since the nashville stuff was pretty good.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Nah I am good, being from Georgia i know what good fried chicken is

Roscoe's?

Are there any reviews for this?

Are there any reviews for this?

There's an older review when this was still in testing here:

http://www.businessinsider.com/kfcs-georgia-gold-honey-mustard-bbq-review-2016-7

KFC's Georgia Gold chicken is tangy and packs a flavorful punch, drawing from barbecue traditions of Georgia and parts of South Carolina.

It's a flavor that's familiar to anyone who has dipped fried chicken in honey-mustard sauce. However, the chain doesn't over-do the flavor, with more muted honey sweetness than aggressive mustard flavoring. Georgia Gold is an ideal flavor combination for customers who enjoy the slight sweetness of the chain's Nashville Hot Chicken, but aren't fans of spice.

You can probably browse through Youtube for a video review from one of the test locations.

I've lived in Georgia damn near my entire life and I've never heard of Georgia Gold Chicken.

I've lived in Georgia damn near my entire life and I've never heard of Georgia Gold Chicken.

I assure you it's as Georgian as a delicious Georgia-state Orange.

 

[ReAxion]

google seems to agree that there's no such thing as georgia gold chicken.

 

[morningbus]

The reality is that they probably wanted something they could trademark. As it stands, anyone can do Nashville Hot chicken.

The KFC's around here have had this for a few months now. Georgia Gold is defintely good. Same texture and basic idea as the Nashville Hot (down to the pickles) but a tangy honey mustard instead of hot sauce.

Still super greasy, but that doesn't mean they don't taste good. If I had to choose between the two I'd still go with Nashville.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

It's ok you guys can keep your Gold Chicken, us Brits get the Zinger Mini in 2 weeks.

Good lord it will be beautiful.

 

[Kayhan]

GG chicken

 

[LocknessMobster]

Sure willing to give it a shot

 

[New002]

Gonna look for this on my way home tonight. Will report back.

 

[Rootbeer]

I really want to try it. I love mustardy stuff though, so I just have to.

Pretty much echo this. It's definitely tasty, but if I had to pick between the two I'd stick with Hot. Worth trying for sure.

 

[juliushandle]

Not a fan. A little too much on the sweet side for me. I love the Nashville though, is that permanently on the menu?

the last time I went to KFC (to get nashville chicken) it was off the menu. I left immediately.

I've lived in Georgia damn near my entire life and I've never heard of Georgia Gold Chicken.

This times 1000...

why are there pickles in that image.

Why do they always put pickles on the chicken now. That shit is nasty.

Chicken novices.

 

[tearsofash]

Anyone saying their hot chicken was good needs to go to a real hot chicken restaurant.

Pickles are pretty commonly associated with fried chicken even if you don't see them. The brine used at Chic-Fil-A contains pickles, for instance.

I have and it's comparing fast food to Howling Rays here in LA where you pay more and need to wait in an hour line.

KFC Georgia Gold Chicken - Food Review

 

[The Faceless Master]

had it.

it's not terrible.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Popeye's dicked me by dropping those Chicken & Waffle Tenders.
KFC just dicked me by dropping Nashville Hot.

When will the pain end?

 

[Dalek]

Just dropping in to say that Pickles Suck.

[nckillthegrimace]

I ordered both the Nashville Hot Chicken and the Georgia Gold Chicken today. They're fine, but I ate both so I might die after I post this.

Here's a tip before I perish: mix the leftover sauce/grease with the coleslaw. It's good.

 

[newdayrocks]

Finally had this today, and was supremely underwhelmed. Nashville Hot Chicken was much better, and I'm glad my KFC is still selling that, too.

 

[Shadynasty]

Yeah their Nashville Hot was a decent representation for sure, just wish it were a little less greasy

I had such regrets during bowel movements.

 

[Kusagari]

I liked it but the same problem as with the Nashville hot.

It's just way too greasy. I kind of feel like shit after eating it.

Another pro tip: use honey on the nashville for a sweet and smoky taste. It really compliments it.

I haven't tried the Georgia Gold but I will probably tomorrow.


EDIT: so basically they just put the oil/sauce over the regular chicken like with the Nashville?

 

[tearsofash]

I have and it's comparing fast food to Howling Rays here in LA where you pay more and need to wait in an hour line.

Also if you ever get the chance, I would go to the Nashville Hot Chicken festival in East Nashville. So much chicken :'(

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

As a Georgian, if this type of sauce is associated with our state it's news to me.

It's like Hawaiian pizza with people actually from Hawaii.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Just wanted to say that I tried this (strips style) and really liked it. More than the Nashville hot variant. Yes it's super greasy so go gently but I like the crisp and sauce.

 

[akira28]

can this chicken roll back out again, like out to sea, never to return?

georgia gold is trash. just give me that lemon pepper wet.

 

[J-Roderton]

Thread just makes me hungry for the Nashville hot. I liked that one.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Had some the other day. Was better than I expected since Im not big on sweet chicken. Honey flavor was distinct but not overpowering. Still vastly prefer the nashville hot.
