"We crafted four unique sauces to complement the Wendy's nugget experience and to provide fans with a variety of chicken options that meet their lifestyles and palettes.

Can't Stop the Sauce

From approachable to adventurous, Wendy's has a Saucy Nugg flavor for everyone! Each layer of Saucy Nuggs flavor is crafted to perfection, designed to complement Wendy's Crispy and Spicy chicken nuggets.

As the Queen of Spice, Wendy's offers seven mouthwatering combinations of flavor – all available in a range of sizes including 4, 6, 10, or 20-piece:

• Honey BBQ: A flavor that's full of smokiness and sweetness, delivering exactly what you would expect from a delicious barbecue sauce. With a subtle hint of honey, it's an approachable sweet and tangy flavor that fans won't be able to get enough of!
• Garlic Parm: A classic flavor that packs a punch of layered, savory goodness from the very first bite. These Saucy Nuggs strike the perfect balance of garlic and parmesan without overwhelming your tastebuds.
• Buffalo: A beloved staple that always has your back! This sauce has buttery undertones with a subtle touch of vinegar that keeps you coming back for more.

• Spicy Ghost Pepper: Time to kick it up a notch (or two) with Wendy's unique Spicy Ghost Pepper sauce! An intensely spicy experience with a lingering depth that only the Queen of Spice can create. This sauce is perfect for the adventurous person who wants to dial it up on the spice-o-meter.  

"Wendy's chicken nugget fandom is truly unrivaled, so it was only natural for us to level up our iconic Nuggs with even more flavor for our fans," said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company.
