KFC's chicken nuggets are about to get a whole lot saucier.

The company announced Thursday it is introducing Saucy Nuggets to its menu April 1. The nuggets will be available in five flavors at KFC restaurants nationwide.

The flavors include three brand-new sauces and the return of two fan favorites that, according to KFC, have inspired petitions advocating for their return. The flavors include:

The Saucy Nuggets will be available in a 10-piece entrée for $5.99, or as part of a combo meal with a medium drink and Secret Recipe Fries for $9.99, according to KFC.

The company also said customers can get a free 10-piece Saucy Nuggets when they spend $10 or more on a KFC.com or KFC app purchase.

“We’ve entered the sauce chat," said Nick Chavez, CMO of KFC U.S., in a news release announcing the Saucy Nuggets. "Our KFC Nuggets – made from 100% white meat chicken and hand-breaded with KFC’s secret recipe of 11 herbs & spices – dripping with these sauces create an unmatched flavor experience, with something for every palate.”

KFC also introducing new dessert item

In addition to the Saucy Nuggets, KFC is also adding a new dessert item to its menu: Apple Pie Poppers.

Filled with warm apple pie filling and wrapped in a buttery and flaky crust, customers can get four Apple Pie Poppers for $2.49.

KFC introduced pizza-inspired item last month

The Saucy Nuggets arrive about a month after KFC introduced a pizza-inspired item called a Chizza to its menu.

The item, pronounced "cheet-za," features two white meat fried chicken filets topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni.

According to KFC, the Chizza first debuted on KFC menus in the Philippines in 2015 and has since made its way to KFC restaurants in Korea, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Germany, Spain and Mexico, among other countries. It was available in the U.S. for the first time beginning Feb. 26.

Customers can order the Chizza on its own or with a combo meal, which includes KFC's Secret Recipe fries and a medium drink. Customers can also order a half Chizza, which is one fried chicken filet with the same toppings rather than two.
