RANKING: We tried all of Chick-fil-A’s sauces — and the winner is clear

At Chick-fil-A, it’s all about the sauce. 

Customers at the chicken chain are cultishly dedicated to condiments.

Some adore the signature Chick-fil-A sauce, which can’t be found anywhere but the chicken chain. Others — perhaps with a sweeter palette — are die-hard Polynesian Sauce fans. And, some people were so furious when Chick-fil-A tweaked the recipe for its BBQ Sauce that they forced the chain to reverse the change. 

In an effort to see which sauces live up to the hype and which fell flat, we tried all seven of Chick-fil-A’s legendary sauces. Here’s the ranking, from worst to best:

7. Garlic & Herb Ranch

Look. I understand the need for a fast-food chain to offer ranch dressing, especially if spicy chicken is on the menu. However, the Garlic & Herb Ranch fails to be anything but… meh. 

It’s more watery than I would like, and I certainly didn’t get the garlic, onion, and herb flavors that were promised. If you’re a ranch fanatic, my advice is to bring your own Hidden Valley. 

6. Sweet & Spicy Sriracha

Chick-fil-A added this new sauce last year, hoping to tap into a trending flavor. But people don’t go to Chick-fil-A for trendy food. 

The Sweet & Spicy Sriracha tastes like someone mixed Polynesian sauce with sriracha. This could be useful to add some zest to a blander fast-food chain’s offerings — but overwhelming Chick-fil-A’s chicken with sweet Sriracha doesn’t do it any favors. 

5. Polynesian

Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce is famous — but I don’t think it’s actually very good. 

I know this is controversial. According to my informal Twitter poll on the subject, 22% of people say that Polynesian is their favorite sauce — the second most popular after Chick-fil-A sauce. 

But, ultimately, the sweet and sour sauce is just too sweet for my taste. The goopy sauce’s super-sweet and syrupy flavor is instantly distinctive and beloved by many — but, in my opinion, the pink sauce is better left in your bag.
