10 Chains With The Biggest Selection Of Sauces - Tasting Table

"Across the United States and beyond, most-if not all-chain restaurants have at least one menu item they're known for, like the Big Mac at McDonald's. An accompaniment to these items, among others, is an extra burst of spicy, sweet, smokey, or tangy flavor that makes the dish even tastier. A good sauce, whether it's made into the menu item or served on the side, can easily transform a classic, fan-favorite dish into something you crave every time you drive by a familiar restaurant."

"With the word "wings" in the name, you'd expect a place like Buffalo Wild Wings to deliver on an expansive list of sauce choices. It arguably does it better than any other chain with 23 options to choose from, whether the sauces are tossed with wings or served on the side for dipping. For starters, you have your choice of classic spicy sauces ranging in heat level from mild to medium to hot."

"Its spicy options aren't limited to the classic trio, though, with others like spicy garlic, buffalo, and mango habanero in the mix. There are several specialty sauces to choose from, including Blazin' Knockout Sauce (made with nine different peppers), Wild Sauce (an even hotter version of classic buffalo), and Jammin' Jalapeño, Caribbean Jerk, and Asian Zing for more global spicy flavors."

Chain restaurants often pair iconic menu items with distinctive sauces that add spicy, sweet, smoky, or tangy flavor and increase craving. A good sauce can be incorporated into the dish or served on the side to transform a classic fan-favorite into a repeat purchase. Many chains offer only a small handful of sauce options, limiting variety. Some chains, however, provide extensive sauce menus with both familiar favorites and brand-specific specialties. Raising Cane's exemplifies a chain with a famous signature sauce but limited additional choices. Buffalo Wild Wings supplies 23 sauce options spanning mild to extreme heat and global flavors.
