KFC adds world-first ‘liquid gold’ sauce to Australian menu – but you can only get it if you have a certain name
A highly select group of Aussies will be the first in the world to have exclusive access to a brand-new flavour of KFC dipping sauce – and it will cost them nothing.
The catch? They must be named ‘Duncan’.
On March 23, KFC Australia is launching a brand-new dipping sauce flavour named Liquid Gold Sauce.
And to celebrate the world-first launch in Australia, KFC is offering a special promotion exclusively to people named ‘Duncan’ – the idea being that the new sauce is made for “dunk’n”.
So, on 23 March, anyone in Australia called Duncan – whether it’s their first, middle or last name – is invited to turn up at any KFC store in any Australian state (excluding WA).
After showing valid ID to confirm they are indeed a Duncan, they will receive a free first taste of KFC’s new Liquid Gold Sauce – perfect for dunking fried chicken into.
The flavour profile of the highly anticipated new sauce has been kept tightly under wraps, but Daily Mail can exclusively reveal the sauce is rich and creamy, with a subtle peppery kick.
The new sauce has been specially designed to enhance the flavour of the fast-food giant’s signature Fried Gold Chicken.

KFC Australia’s CMO Vanessa Rowed said: ‘Our fans are passionate about their Fried Gold Chicken, and we’ve heard their calls for more epic dunking experiences louder than ever.
‘At KFC, innovation is at the heart of what we do, and we’re incredibly excited to deliver on that demand with Liquid Gold Sauce,’ Vanessa added.
‘This is our most dunkable sauce yet, so we’re putting it straight into the hands of the people best qualified to try it first – the Duncans of Australia.’
Liquid Gold Sauce is not only a new dipping sauce flavour, but quite literally the food giant’s biggest yet.
The package size of the new dipping sauce is the same as a container of KFC’s legendary Potato and Gravy.
Vanessa says: ‘This isn’t just our newest sauce, it’s the biggest sauce KFC Australia has ever released, reflecting our commitment to giving our customers the bold, flavour-packed experiences they crave.’
Additionally, KFC Australia will be hosting what they hope will be Australia’s biggest-ever ‘Duncan meet-up’ at their flagship George Street restaurant.
On March 23, they are inviting anyone with the first, middle or surname of Duncan to come into the Sydney city store at midday.

Not only will the Duncans be among the first in the world to try Liquid Gold Sauce, served with crispy Original Tenders or Wicked Boneless, but they’ll also have a chance to set an Aussie record for the most Duncans gathered in one place.
‘We’re expecting a few new friendships to be formed over a shared name, sauce and fried chicken,’ noted Vanessa.
Meanwhile, anyone who is not named Duncan will have to wait until Tuesday, March 24 to get their hands on the new dipping sauce.
Liquid Gold Sauce will be available in KFC restaurants nationwide for a limited time from 23 March until 13 April.
The sauce can be purchased on its own for $3 and will also be available with 3 or 5-piece Tenders, 3 or 6-piece Wicked Boneless, and as part of the Zinger, Original Crispy, Tender, and Wicked Boxes.
The ultimate goal of the new supersized containers of dipping sauce? To ensure no fried chicken piece goes undunk’d.
