Mike’s Hot Honey has been a popular condiment for over a decade. The sweet and spicy sauce has been found in just about every corner of the food world, collaborating with the likes of KFC, Red Robin, Dunkin’, and DiGiorno. Oh, that’s not enough for you? How about Utz, Blue Diamond, Keebler Club Crackers, and Boulder Canyon? <\/p>\n

Now you can add Taco Bell to the list with the limited-time Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce, which rolled out with the rerelease of the Crispy Chicken Nuggets. It can also be added to the Nacho Fries or purchased \u00e0 la carte.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Taking a sniff, the sweet honey was the first note, followed by the signature smoky essence from the Diablo. Trying the sauce on its own, the lime flavor was a punch to the mouth. It was overwhelming at first, but once the honey and chipotle showed up, it became more pleasant.<\/p>\n
Dipping a chicken nugget into the sauce, the texture and appearance were reminiscent of sweet and sour sauce. The initial bite was a little overwhelming at first as there were a lot of flavors hitting me at once. The honey and lime came on strong, but an underlying smokey heat quickly became the primary flavor. The combination of chilies from Mike’s Hot Honey with the chipotle and red chilies from the Diablo sauce made for a mouth-numbing kick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The sweetness of the honey, however, comes in clutch to dull the spice just enough to keep me coming back to dip my chicken. There was a consistent heat in my mouth, but it never went into uncomfortable territory while eating my five nuggets. Their crunchy tortilla coating was a perfect delivery service for the sauce. The chicken\u2019s flavor didn’t detract from the dip but added a savory component to help stay balanced. I wouldn’t be surprised if a social media “hack” of shaking the nuggets with the sauce in the box pops up sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The dip also works well with the “bold Mexican spices” of Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries. Also, for science, I tried it with a plain chip and found it less enjoyable than it was with the nuggets or fries.<\/p>\n
The collaboration between Mike’s Hot Honey and Taco Bell’s Diablo sauce creates a unique and surprisingly balanced taste profile. That initial lime kick might surprise you, but the balance of sweet honey and smoky, numbing heat keeps you dipping. The crispy nuggets are the perfect match, adding savory crunch without getting lost. This limited-time offering is a bold, flavorful item that’s definitely worth trying for those who enjoy a “swicy” meal.<\/p>\n
