If you do a survey or check online reviews regarding the chicken nuggets from Burger King, you won’t really find too many people saying it’s the absolute best. It’s not that bad, but plenty of other brands offer better chicken nuggets.

What it is, however, is affordable. On average, the Burger King 10 pc. chicken nuggets cost $1.54 only, and that’s an extremely low price. When you consider that a 4-piece order of chicken nuggets here cost a reasonable $1.26, then the math doesn’t make sense. That means 8 pieces cost $2.52, but order 2 more pieces and you reduce the price. When you compare various dipping sauces, the first thing for your choice should be their macros content. If you are a little obese, the fats content should be at the minimum level, it should be reversed if you are a little underweight. The macro calculator for weight loss may be the best tool to know the fat and protein content in your dipping sauce.

Some pundits say that Burger King actually takes a short-term loss for each order of the 10-piece nuggets, simply to attract more patrons to their restaurants. Once they’re there, then they would have to order more from the menu, and those items are more profitable. And if these visitors happen to order the addictive Whooper, then Burger King has another loyal fan for life.

But the Burger King Nuggets are a lot better when you combine them with the right dipping sauce. There are only 6 Burger King dipping sauces available, so you won’t be overwhelmed with too many choices. It won’t take you too long to find out which dipping sauce matches your taste.

Which ones should you try first? Here is the list of Burger King dipping sauces, listed according to good they are (at least, on our opinion).

BBQ

This dipping sauce is a classic for a reason, and just about every fast-food joint has its own version of it. It’s hard to beat when you get the formula right, and Burger King clearly knew what it was doing when they came up with their deep brown version of the BBQ sauce.

At first taste, it’s sweet. Then you get that strong, aftertaste of smoke that seems to urge you to get another nugget and dip some more into this sauce. It’s like eating a single potato chip—you just want more after each bite.

Obviously, it’s not exactly a unique flavor, but the Burger King version of the BBQ dipping sauce is just about perfect. Try this one first, and then compare the others to it as you go through all the dipping sauces. You just may find that this first dipping sauce is the right one for you.

Buffalo

This ranking may seem surprising for some people, who have tried the Buffalo dipping sauces from other fast-food restaurants. The problem is that in those places, their Buffalo dipping sauce seems like it’s the worst option among their dipping sauce line up. They’re not that good.

But they’re good if you get the dipping sauce from Burger King. In fact, many say that this bright orange sauce is their favorite.

That color is the result of mixing several hot spices together, using a creamy base. The end result is a Goldilocks-blend of vinegar and spiciness. It’s just right.

Sure, the heat of the spices is there. You’ll notice it, though it’s not really that strong. But it’s not too weak that the tangy vinegar taste can just overcome it. it’s a perfect balance. Try it, and the Buffalo may just end up as your favorite as well.

Honey Mustard

This is a reliable sauce that rarely offends anyone—most people will say it’s good. Kids love it because of the sweetness, and admittedly some adults may find it a bit too sweet. But that level of sweetness actually makes a good match with the somewhat sour taste of the mustard. It’s another example of a good “sweet and sour” pairing.

It’s perfectly fine, though not many will regard this as their favorite. It would have been a bit better if it had some spiciness to bring to the party. In any case, it’s still good.

Zesty

It’s a creamy sauce with a somewhat orange-y hue, and it’s very creamy. The taste is somewhat hard to describe, admittedly. Even after several dips into the sauce, and it’s still not easy to find the right words for it. The closest we can come close to describing this is to say that it’s somewhat like Thousand Island dressing, but with a small spicy kick in the end that tastes like horseradish.

Yep, the Zesty dipping sauce is great for those who are feeling brave. Who know, maybe you can describe it better than we can.

Sweet and Sour

Not all that many people are impressed by this, even though is certainly looks great. It has the sweetness, but not enough of the “sour” factor. It tastes dull after all the other options, but maybe you’ll have a different opinion.

Ranch

Somehow, this tastes just like all the other Ranch dipping sauces that the other fast-food joints offer. It’s not bad, with the tang of the creamy buttermilk pairing nicely with the garlicky taste. But it’s just your regular Ranch dipping sauce.

Final Words

Yours is the only opinion that matters here, so start trying out all these dipping sauces!
