Most people do not know that Burger King offers many other types of sauces besides Ketchup, Mayonnaise and BBQ. I have bought every sauce listed on their website and tasted them so you don’t have to! I also provided pairing recommendations as well as Nutrition values. Let’s go!
The Ultimate List of Burger King Sauces
Burger King has numerous dipping sauces that can enhance the taste of your meals. From a smoky barbecue sauce to a sweet honey mustard, there is something for every taste bud. Let us get into it and talk about these flavorsome Burger King Sauces, all ranked in order of taste! (In my opinion anyway!)
1. BBQ Dipping Sauce
Ranked at the top is the Barbecue sauce (BBQ), which I love as I prefer a smoky sweet flavor on my fast food. It is noted particularly for its rich flavor with hints of tanginess that brings out taste in grilled meat. With its thick consistency and an immense flavor, it takes the leading place in rankings because I think it goes with everything. Onion rings are always a good choice when using this sauce!!
2. Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Coming second on the list is Burger king’s Honey Mustard Sauce due to its perfect combination between sweetness and sharpness. I think you can’t go wrong and I love it with the chicken items on the menu such as nuggets or a crispy chicken sandwich, yum! Creamy texture combined with unique savoring make this mild dip a favorite among customers.
3. Ranch Dipping Sauce
Ranch sauce takes third place mainly because it has a creamy herb taste. It’s a versatile sauce that can be eaten with fries, burgers and other foods. Its appeal lies in the fact that it adds an extra flavor to salads and sandwiches, thus preferred by all those who love savory and smooth sauces.
4. Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
At number four, the Sweet & Sour Sauce is famous for its unusual mixture of sweet and sour tastes. People who like fried food at Burger king usually go for this tangy dip because of its acidity which gives their meal some contrast. Its bright color together with heavy texture makes it visually appealing while its flavor just adds a twist to any dish.
5. Buffalo Dipping Sauce
The buffalo sauce is near the bottom; it is mostly loved by people who enjoy a spicy seasoning on their meals. It has a a hotter taste than other sauces (although not hot enough in my opinion) that works pretty well with chicken nuggets or French fries. Even though not everyone may choose it as their favorite sauce in terms of spice, there are many followers of hot foods therefore this factor provides for its place in rankings. It should be noted in researching other opinions many complain it isn’t quite hot enough, and it was recently reformulated. There is quite a bit of hate on this reddit thread :
“Not only did bk rebrand the buffalo sauce(which i could care less), they frickin reformulated it too. ITS SO FRICKING DISGUSTING. I dont understand why they had to go and change it. It was fine the way it was. Idk how whoever the hell approved it went like “ok yeah this crap is edible”. BK, please bring the old formulated buffalo sauce back not this disguting sad of an excuse substance. If you guys can gladly smile after a bite with that disgusting sauce then im brining my loyalty over to Jack in the Box, and im sure your loyal buffalo sauce loving customers will bring their loyalty elsewhere.”
6. Zesty Dipping Sauce
Burger King’s zesty dipping sauce is a choice for those who enjoy a hint of smokiness and spices. It is meant to appeal to individuals looking for spicier and stronger sauces compared to others on the menu by having a distinct flavor profile from other sauces available at fast food chains. I find it a bit pungent and sharp hence the low placing in the rankings…
7. Ketchup
No list of Burger King sauces would be complete without mentioning ketchup. This classic condiment is a staple for many Burger King fans. It pairs well with burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries, adding a familiar flavor. Whether you prefer it mild or spicy, ketchup is a go-to sauce at Burger King. I put it last as it’s Heinz Ketchup, probably the most well known sauce out there! But doesn’t add much excitment hence bottom of the list.
Here is a table of our sauce rankings and pairing suggestions:
| Sauce | Taste Profile | Recommended Pairings |
|---|---|---|
