From those classic mild, hot, or even diablo sauces to the newer dipping sauces for its chicken nuggets, Taco Bell appreciates that its guests love to drizzle, dip, or dunk food into a flavorful sauce. With its newest sauce innovation, an uber popular food brand joins the conversation and people are getting fired up about it.
Sauce often sparks a heated discussion. Whether it is ketchup on a hot dog or ranch on pizza, the reality is that sauce says a lot about a person’s flavor preferences. Although professional chefs might use a rich crèma to tame a spice or a bright vinaigrette to cut through a rich flavor, the reality is that sauces are just as important as the main protein on the plate.
Taco Bell appreciates that sauces are essential to the overall guest experience. People proudly know all the sayings on those particular packets or have created the perfect combination of flavors to make their favorite menu order pop with deliciousness.
The newest Taco Bell sauce innovation is the inclusion of Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce. The food item combines the smoky Diablo Sauce with the swicy Mike’s Hot Honey. The combination has a bold kick yet is totally craveable.
Speaking to the new sauce addition, Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer said, “We didn’t just drop a new sauce, we unlocked a totally new way to experience nuggets with an entirely new take on hot honey. Our sauces spark obsession – fans collect them, remix them and make them part of who they are. Teaming up with Mike’s Hot Honey, which has a passionate following of its own, felt like the ultimate way to build on our legacies of sauce innovation. Now we’ve got this delicious sweet-heat experience that transforms every dip, dunk, or drizzle into something fans have never tasted from us before.”
While this new sauce is meant to be paired with the Taco Bell Chicken Nuggets, it can also be purchased separately (25 cents a container). Personally, adding this sauce to a chicken chalupa is a must try. That kick of heat with the classic chalupa bread is absolutely delicious. Having an extra container to even dip that shell is a great choice.
Although the sauce might not be quite as successful with beef, the Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce is a great pairing with almost any chicken dish. The combination of swicy and chicken just works.
The newest Taco Bell sauce is available now. It can be ordered with Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Nuggets or a la carte. Check with restaurants for availability and pricing.
