The new Savory Chili WcDonald\u2019s Sauce is a delicious, sticky sauce straight from the WcDonald\u2019s universe. It gets its unique characteristics from the unmistakable aroma and fiery warmth of ginger, lingering umami from garlic and soy sauce with a little punch of heat from chili flakes. It\u2019s the perfect dipping sauce for a 10 piece Chicken McNuggets and our World Famous Fries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-60882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While I didn\u2019t try it with McDonald\u2019s fries, I dunked six McNuggets into it and it is definitely not wiggity wiggity waku, I mean, wack.

All those flavors were nice, but by the fourth or fifth McNugget, it started to get too salty, which I imagine was caused by the soy sauce and miso. It\u2019s similar to when I dip my sushi into soy sauce for too long, creating a salty bite that takes away from the flavors that should stand out. Even the sauce\u2019s sweetness didn\u2019t help temper the saltiness enough. As for its heat, it didn\u2019t kick my taste buds as hard as last year\u2019s Sweet &#038; Spicy Jam or Mambo Sauce, but it was significantly hotter than my usual Hot Mustard. Although, it wasn\u2019t even spicy enough to make me forget about the saltiness.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-60884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce4.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce4.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wcdonaldssauce4.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Along with the sauce, McDonald\u2019s also created a manga surrounding this new sauce that you can read by scanning the QR code on specially marked bags or in the photo above.<\/p>\n<p>This Savory Chili WcDonald\u2019s Sauce is good enough that I see myself getting it again while it\u2019s still around.
