After the warm “Welcome to Chili’s” greets guests at the door, some people are ready to place their food order before the waiter presents the menu. For people who know, love, or just recently discovered the iconic Chili’s appetizer, the Triple Dipper, there is hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Have you uncovered the Chili’s Triple Dipper menu hack?

Food social media continually reveals new trends, secret menu items, and other hacks. Even though some people might long to keep that knowledge to themselves, there is a bigger reason that compels them to share. After all, everyone wants to be “in the know” on a food trend, concept, or other craveable bite.

Chili’s has found itself thrust into the social media spotlight. Long before the value wars took over the QSR space, the casual dining restaurant brand put its 3 for Me meal front and center. It showcased how a sit-down restaurant can bring together flavor, value, and a hearty meal that beats the drive-thru.

Building on that conversation, Chili’s embraced its pop culture side. Although the “Baby Back Ribs” jingle and other melodic commercial moments might not necessarily elicit a Pavlov’s dog response, they are lasting ear worms which will always be associated with the restaurant brand.

Adding to those moments the connection to famous Chili Heads and sports events makes the casual dining restaurant resonate with a wide audience. Needless to say, any and all people are always welcome at Chili’s.

Currently, the classic Triple Dipper appetizer is having a moment with many people on social media. Appealing to a broad guest segment, people cannot get enough of sharing what their perfect combination, favorite bites, and other insight on that food order.

Have you tried Chili’s Triple Dipper menu hack, the Saucy Triple Dipper?

For those unfamiliar, the Chili’s Triple Dipper is an appetizer. Guests can choose from three of the following items: Fried Mozzarella, Southwestern Eggrolls, Bone-In Wings, Boneless Wings, Big Mouth Bites, Crispy Chicken Crispers, Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers, and Nashville Hot Chicken Crispers.

Across the food world, saucy chicken is having a moment. Many people cannot get enough of the saucy chicken Crispers. From the bold heat of the Nashville Hot flavor to the swicy Honey-Chipotle, both options are equally as delicious.

Did you know that you can get that Fried Mozzarella dipped in that Nashville Hot sauce? The new menu hack is the Saucy Triple Dipper. Covering the breading, the fiery sauce changes the classic food item. Without losing its crispness, the tangy, bold, spicy flavor ignites a whole new food conversation.

Since cheese can temper spicy notes, this sauce/mozzarella combination is approachable. The first taste is spicy, but the cheese helps to mellow the flavor. No one will be gulping down that Presidente Margarita to tame the flames. And, there is a side of ranch, if someone needs some extra dairy relief.

For those people who prefer the swicy option, the Fried Mozzarella can be tossed in Honey Chipotle, too. That tangy version is equally as tasty.

Although these sauced Fried Mozzarella options are not on the menu, the friendly Chili’s staff will know about the special order. Just ask for the saucy swap.

In some ways, this idea is a game changer not only for Chili’s but for Fried Mozzarella in general. Why dip that fried cheese when you can have it sauced. It might not work with marinara, but there are plenty of options that could be used in the future. A Chil’s House BBQ Fried Mozzarella sounds quite tasty.

While that Fried Mozzarella is a popular appetizer, the uniqueness of the Chili’s version could lead to some other menu innovation. Although not approved or suggested by Chili’s, the Nashville Hot tossed Fried Mozzarella served on a grilled chicken sandwich or the Honey Chipotle sauced on a burger would be an ultimate food menu options (or maybe hacks).

Chili’s might have started a whole new food trend with this Fried Mozzarella Triple Dipper menu hack. Could saucy fried mozzarella be the next fried chicken wars?

For now, go order the Saucy Triple Dipper and enjoy the menu hack that brings the bold flavor to the table. Barbecue isn’t the only Chili’s sauce that will have people singing its praises.
