The name sets out the whole idea: the sweetness of maple syrup with smoke behind it. Maple and smoke turn up together in North American cooking on bacon, ham and barbecue glazes, and on fried chicken the pairing echoes chicken and waffles with syrup. KFC Australia made it one of eleven permanent sauces in 2026, alongside bigger Original Tenders and the Dip'd range. In the line-up it sits between the barbecue sauces and the sweet ones, sweeter than Texas BBQ but darker in character than Sweet & Sour or Honey Mustard. Sold in a 25 mL pot with a burgundy lid.
Bigger tenders, a Dip'd range and eleven permanent sauces, from Chimichurri Ranch to Liquid Gold. Which are new, which Britain had first, and which two are filler.
