Sauces at McDonald‘s: A Complete 2023 Guide

ByCharles Scott Last Update on

McDonald‘s offers a variety of delicious dipping sauces that can take your meal from basic to spectacular. As a fast food connoisseur and consumer expert, I‘ve compiled everything you need to know about McDonald‘s sauces in 2024.

Current McDonald‘s Sauces

Here is the complete list of dipping sauces currently available at McDonald‘s:

1. Sweet & Sour Sauce

Remains a fan favorite for its tangy and sweet flavor. Pair it with chicken nuggets or fries for an appetizing compliment.

2. Tangy BBQ Sauce

Its slightly spicy yet sweet taste makes it a popular choice for dipping chicken items.

3. Honey Mustard Sauce

This is a new and improved version of the sauce with more tang and character than previous versions.

4. Creamy Ranch Sauce

A rich ranch flavor that goes well with most foods, it‘s especially tasty with chicken or fries.

5. Hot Mustard Sauce

Not quite spicy enough for some people but has a distinctive mustardy zing. Pairs great with nuggets.

6. Spicy Buffalo Sauce

With its buttery and hot flavor, spice lovers go for this one. Especially nice with the new Chicken McBites.

7. Signature Sauce

Essentially Big Mac sauce, with a Thousand Island dressing like flavor. Ask for it on the side with fries or chicken sandwiches.

8. Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise

McDonald‘s still offers these standard condiment packets as dipping sauces as well.

Discontinued & International Sauces

While the above are staples in the US, McDonald‘s does retire some sauces and offer unique ones in other countries. These include:

  • Szechuan Sauce
  • Green Chili Salsa
  • Yuzu Seven Spice Mayo (Japan)
  • Prosperity Burger Sauce (Malaysia)

And plenty more around the world. Hopefully McDonald‘s considers bringing some of these to the US!

Hacks for More Sauce

While additional sauces used to cost 25 cents, McDonald‘s now provides them free of charge. To get extra:

  • Request added sauces when ordering in-store or via drive-thru
  • Add sauces through the McDonald‘s app under "Condiments"
  • Ask for a side of Big Mac or Filet-O-Fish tartar sauce

Maximize flavors by mixing and matching sauces too! For example, ranch combined with buffalo sauce is a game changer.

So next time you head to McDonald‘s, don‘t be shy about asking for extra sauces to make your meal perfectly saucy! Let me know your go-to McDonald‘s sauce combo in the comments.
