<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMcDonald’s didn’t put much effort into creating their “new” Chicken McNugget sauces, because they’re mostly the same dipping sauces from their Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips line. Since they’re not putting much effort into their sauces, I’m not going to put much effort into this review of their sauces.<\/p>\n
How much work am I going to put into reviewing these sauces? Significantly less than what I put into playing this McNuggets dipping sauce memory game<\/a> that McDonald’s is using to promote the sauces on their website. <\/p>\n By the way, my high score was 712 points.<\/p>\n For starters, to show how little effort I’m going to put into this review, I’m just going to list all the “new” flavors, but not take the time to put them in alphabetical order: Spicy Buffalo, Honey Mustard, Sweet Chili, and Creamy Ranch. Then, I’m just going to link to my Sweet Chili sauce review from last year<\/a> and then not mention Sweet Chili anymore. <\/p>\n I’m also going to link to my my Chicken Selects review from 2004<\/a> which included my thoughts on the Spicy Buffalo sauce. Although, the sauce might’ve changed over the years, so I will say the “new” Spicy Buffalo sauce was tasty, spicy, and orange. It tasted like other buffalo sauces I’ve had, but it had a bit more kick than my beloved Hot Mustard Sauce and it was definitely my favorite of the four “new” flavors.<\/p>\n Geez, that was more effort than I wanted to exert for the Spicy Buffalo Sauce. I’ll do better with the last two sauces.<\/p>\n Honey Mustard tasted like a sweet weak dijon mustard and Creamy Ranch tasted like the salad dressing you’d find in the middle of a barely-touched vegetable platter at a barbeque. <\/p>\n How’s that for little effort?<\/p>\n Overall, McDonald’s “new” Chicken McNuggets Sauces range from decent to good, but none of them can compete with my beloved Hot Mustard Sauce. Besides that, it’s hard to get excited about sauces that we could’ve dipped our McNuggets into for years if we either asked nicely, paid 10 to 20 cents, or flirted with the right cashier for the McDonald’s Chicken Selects sauces.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – Not available at McDonald’s website or I didn’t want to put any effort into finding out what they are.)<\/small><\/p>\n Item:<\/b> McDonald’s “New” Chicken McNuggets Sauces (Creamy Ranch, Honey Mustard, Spicy Buffalo, and Sweet Chili) McDonald’s didn’t put much effort into creating their “new” Chicken McNugget sauces, because they’re mostly the same dipping sauces from their Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips line.

\nSize:<\/b> 1 ounce
\nPurchased at:<\/b> McDonald’s
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10 (Creamy Ranch)

\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Spicy Buffalo)
\nRating:<\/b> 4 out of 10 (Sweet Chili)
\nPros:<\/b> More sauces for you to choose from. Spicy Buffalo had good flavor and a decent kick. Hot Mustard Sauce. Flirting with McDonald’s employees to get Chicken Selects sauces.
\nCons:<\/b> McDonald’s didn’t put much effort into the “new” sauces. Sweet Chili sauce is still mediocre. Honey Mustard tasted like a sweet weak dijon mustard. McDonald’s calling these sauces “new.” Not putting much effort into this review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
