Some people are partial to the eponymous Chick-fil-A Sauce.
Others won’t budge on the Honey Roasted BBQ.
Still others can’t get enough of the Honey Mustard.

How does it look?
What’s the consistency like?
How much of it can you actually stomach in one sitting?

A delicious sauce that is too heavy to have a heaping of just won’t cut it.
I recently tasted all eight varieties.
However, it did appear pretty runny compared to other sauces.

I didn’t love the first taste, but it got better once the spiciness took over.
I wish this sauce played up the heat some more and used less vinegar and sugar.
The look:Blindingly bright orange.

It has a smooth consistency but seemed very runny, especially for a Buffalo-style sauce.
If it weren’t for its watery consistency, I think I’d rank this one higher.
I prefer a sauce with substance!

Barbeque Sauce
Chick-fil-A currently offers two barbecue-style sauces.
It has a medium viscosity: not too thin and not too thick.
It’s also not entirely smooth like the Buffalo sauce, but instead has some subtle texture to it.

The taste:Tangy and sweeta little too sweet, if you ask me.
Maybe a little more vinegar would help cut some of the sugar.
It’s a really light orangey-yellow color.

There are also some visible, very tiny specks of red.
The look:This sauce was off-white in color and thicker than the Barbeque flavor.
There were visible herbs mixed into the sauce and you could smell the garlic in it right away.

Overall, I think the garlic and ranch are balanced quite nicely.
I could do with maybe a little pepper or more herbs to make it a bit more complex.
It’s not the most appetizing color but it’s not a deterrence.

Plus, it has a similar consistency to the chain’s Barbeque flavor.
The taste:Not unlike your typical honey mustard, honestly.
But, given the choice, there are a two other dips that I prefer even more.
The sauce itself was an orange color with some speckles of spices.
Its consistency is somewhere between the regular barbecue sauce and ranch sauce.
The taste:This was a little unexpected for me.
At first, it’s kind of basic but then it grows on you.
It’s pretty viscous, and just slightly thicker than the Buffalo sauce.
The taste:Sweet and a bit fruity, this sauce was another happy surprise.
It has a bit of tanginess that really balances it out and makes for a really fun bite.
I kept coming back for more.
Off all the flavorful sauces at Chick-fil-A, Polynesian is the winner in my book.
