Best Sauces to Pair With Chicken
Chicken is the most consumed meat in the United States, according to the USDA. We can’t say we’re surprised, since chicken is so versatile. Fry it, grill it, boil it, bake it, or even spatchcock it for a variety of different meals. Then enters the real game changer, the sauce.
Sauce can take a dish from mediocre to exceptional. It can add flavor, moisture, and improve the overall texture of a dish. Plus, it’s a great way to make your meal prep easier. Grab a few of your favorite sauces and you can turn your chicken into multiple different meals with varying flavors.
You can’t really go wrong when it comes to sauce and chicken, but we’ve broken down some of our favorite sauces to always keep on hand.
Barbeque
Bake it and pull it for a pulled chicken sandwich or use your tenders as a vessel to dip up this delicious sauce. Either way, this classic is always a great choice. (Looking for a new brand to try? We bottled our Classic Secret Sauce and it’s the perfect balance between sweet and spicy.)
Teriyaki
A perfect blend of savory, sweet, and salty, it’s perfect to use on wings or in chicken stir fry.
Tzatziki
Turn your dish into a Mediterranean favorite with this sauce generally made with yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, and herbs like dill.
Sweet Thai Chili
Sweet with a little kick – add it to chicken gyoza for the perfect amount of flavor.
Carolina Mustard
The best way to enhance fried chicken. Our very own Carolina Mustard BBQ sauce has the perfect balance between sweet and tangy with a little heat.
Sriracha Ranch
Smother it on your tacos for a cool kick of spice.
Guacamole Salsa
Add to your grilled chicken wrap for a creamy smooth and tangy sauce with a little less kick.
Parmesan Cream Sauce
Butter, heavy cream, and cheese? Yes, please. Think chicken pasta or try it as a base for a grilled chicken pizza.
Hot Sauce
Turn it up a notch with hot sauce. Add it to your chicken wings or chicken sandwich for a Nashville hot style. You can even use it to spice up your chicken noodle soup.
