What are the 8 Chick

Chick-fil-A's released some seriously sweet and spicy sauces over the years. While the OG Chick-fil-A Sauce was the first to hit the market back in the '80s, the chicken chain has since released and retooled numerous flavors. Some are delicious, some are spicy, and some, like the Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette, were quickly discontinued and never seen again. The menu might not be as diverse as, say, Sonic, but CFA definitely knows how to stick with the classics.

Everyone who loves Chick-fil-A has a favorite dipping sauce (or two). What's yours? Vote up all your favorite flavors, and vote down all the duds.

The classic of classics, the Chick-fil-A sauce was first introduced back in the early 1980s when, according to Chick-fil-A, an employee "accidentally mixed barbeque sauce with a honey mustard recipe." Proof that sometimes unexpected miracles really can happen.
Made from a blend of barbecue, ranch, and honey mustard, it definitely has a tangy tinge. The taste is broad enough that it works as a perfect sauce to basically any meal on the menu—from nuggets to fries to Chick-n-Minis and more.
People even use it as a salad dressing. But the real question is, do you?

Polynesian Sauce

An argument can be made that Chick-fil-A's Polynesian Sauce is one of the first sauces that really became a hit, what with its tangy-yet-sweet aftertaste. In fact, this sweet(ish) sauce first debuted in 1984 (along with Barbeque and Honey Mustard) and has remained virtually unchanged ever since.
According to Chick-fil-A, it's "A delicious sweet and sour sauce with a strong, tangy flavor." More than anything, though, it's a unique take on the traditional classic sweet and sour sauce, and most foodies either love it or hate it.

Honey Mustard Sauce

Practically every major food chain has its own patented honey mustard sauce (even Walmart's getting in on the action these days), but there's something special about Chick-fil-A's Honey Mustard Sauce. It's so good you could almost eat it by itself. Almost...
Maybe it's the mix of garlic and honey, or maybe it's the sweet and sour finish. Either way, it's no surprise it's been one of the most popular dipping sauces for decades.

Barbeque Sauce

Chick-fil-A's Barbeque Sauce is so popular that a single Google search yields oodles and oodles of copycat recipes. As one of the first dipping sauces Chick-fil-A introduced, it's since become a dunking staple for chicken lovers everywhere.
Packed with onion, garlic, and various spices for a richer, bolder flavor, CFA's Barbeque Sauce has remained roughly unchanged since it was first unveiled in the 80s. After all, why mess with a winning formula?

Our favorite might surprise you.

In the last month alone, we’ve thrown ourselves three separate Chick-fil-A nugget parties: First, we compared them to Shake Shack’s new Chick’n Bites. Then we made a nugget bouquet. Now, we’re ranking every single dipping sauce the chain offers—all in the name of journalism.

Sadly, we weren’t able to procure the elusive cheese that broke the internet this week because local restaurants only carry the seven standard sauces: Chick-fil-A, Polynesian, Honey Mustard, Garden Herb Ranch, Zesty Buffalo, Barbecue, and Sweet & Spicy Sriracha.

We rated them based on dip-ability, flavor, and how well they pair with Chick-fil-A’s signature nuggets. Here’s what we thought.

1. Honey Mustard

4.5/5

Our No. 1 choice shocked us for a few reasons, but mostly because it looked so darn gross when we opened the packet. It was the absolute worst shade of yellow and looked like a weird, miniature Jello mold—but it was without a doubt our winner. Slightly more savory than most of its kind, this was a nice contrast to the nuggets’ delicate sweetness. We’re used to sweet, creamy honey mustards and were pleasantly surprised by this one’s tanginess. Terrible looks aside, this sauce was definitely a win.

2. Garden Herb Ranch

4/5

There’s not much to explain here, because this just tastes like ranch. Chicken nuggets taste good dipped in ranch. ‘Nuff said.

3. Zesty Buffalo

3.5/5

I wanted to rank this lower, but for extremely petty reasons: When I was in college, I worked next to the Chick-fil-A on campus. My favorite thing to eat in the entire world was the original sandwich drenched in Chick-fil-A’s original Buffalo sauce. I ate that meal far more often than could be considered healthy. One terrible day, I opened my paper sack expecting to find my beloved Buffalo. I didn’t. Instead, I found this and I hated it. It’s not bad—in fact, it’s actually quite good—it’s just not the same.

Cayenne pepper and vinegar are the overwhelming flavors here, and we’re all about it. But it did overpower the chicken and that’s why it’s not ranked higher.

4. It’s a tie between Barbecue and Sriracha

3/5

Barbecue is pretty much exactly what we expected: Sweet and pleasant, but nothing to write home about.

The sriracha, on the other hand, was actually really delicious—just not as a nugget sauce. We’d definitely use this as a marinade for our chicken or to spice up our stir-fry, but probably wouldn’t order it for dipping purposes again.

OK, let’s pause here for a quick disclaimer: A lot of you have probably realized by now that we’ve covered five out of seven sauces so far and Chick-fil-A’s two most popular condiments have not yet been ranked.

Listen, you guys, we’re as surprised as you are.

We didn’t expect things to turn out this way, but they did. We understand that you’re going to be upset and you’ll likely leave angry comments. That is fine.

Anyway, back to the list:

5. Chick-fil-A

2.5/5

Chick-fil-A’s signature sauce is underwhelming. It tastes... like their barbecue sauce, but way diluted. Which is essetially what it is. And that's a little meh for a namesake sauce in our opinion. We’re sorry, we know this isn’t what you wanted to hear. Sometimes the truth hurts.

6. Polynesian

2/5

Is this a dipping sauce or simple syrup? One tester liked it, but admitted that nostalgia played a large part in her opinion. Weirdly, it seems like everyone we talked to loved this in high school or knew someone who loved it in high school. Is this a statement on the average teenager's palate development? Who knows. The only thing we’re certain of is that this tastes like concentrated sugar water. Pass.

What is the signature Chick

According to a tweet posted by Chick-fil-A in 2012, the chain's signature sauce is made by combining honey mustard, barbecue sauce and ranch dressing. Chick-fil-A, Inc. Did you know? Chick-fil-A Sauce is a magical blend of Honey Mustard, Barbecue and Ranch Sauces.
