The Sweet And Saucy McDonald's Chicken Nugget Hack You Need To Try

Any purchase of chicken McNuggets from McDonald's seems incomplete without a sauce (or multiple sauces) for dipping. Everyone can pick their favorite with 10 sauce options on the menu — or creative minds can concoct easy sauce hacks with many choices at their fingertips.

TikTokers are fawning over the latest sauce hack: sweet and sour sauce with mayo. The combination of the two may raise a few eyebrows, but it's a hack that's definitely worth trying. Many TikTokers recommend dousing the two sauces on an order of nuggets and then shaking them inside the box for maximum coverage.

The resulting creation is one of perfect harmony that touches every corner of the tastebuds. The sweet, tangy, and sour sauce balances the richness of the mayonnaise. Conversely, the tang of the mayonnaise cuts through the sweetness of the sweet and sour, creating a dippable, dunkable duo that balances well against the salty crunch of the nuggets.

A hack like McDonald's sweet and sour/mayonnaise combo offers a savory and rich balance. A spicy buffalo/ranch may offer a mix of heat and cool, not to mention a mixture of both bite and tang on the tongue. Likewise, a honey mustard/mayo combo may offer hungry customers another flavorful combo with the tang of the mustard balancing the richness of the mayonnaise.

After trying the McNuggets sauce combo described above, McDonald's visitors can also try a sweet menu hack to balance out the savory favors: The McBassett, a soft-serve ice cream cone swirled inside an iced coffee.

But the sauce hacks aren't just exclusive to McDonald's. Chick-fil-A is famous for its sauces and hungry and creative customers recommend getting creative to make delightfully saucy nuggets. While Chick-fil-A's signature sauce is a mixture of sauces itself, fans of the eatery recommend plenty of menu hacks, including a buffalo/ranch combo, a Polynesian/ranch, or perhaps a totally new, self-made creation.
