Using Honey to dip Nuggets (specifically McNuggets)

[New Donker]

I did this all the time as a kid

 

[Nimby]

My boyfriend dipped his chicken nugget in some honey the other day.

To put it simply I was shocked, appalled even.

Then I tasted it, and I thought it was okay, it just needed some mustard to go with it.

 

[Futureman]

I don't know if this was some early 90s thing that McDs pushed but when I was little I always got honey with my chicken nugs.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Honey goes great with chicken. But if you're getting McNuggets specifically, MickeyD's Sweet and Sour is basically the best thing in the universe (and ask for extra so you can dip your fries too).

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Honey and chicken is really good.

This was my jam as a kid. It's still good, but I prefer their hot mustard and honey mustard nowadays.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Hell yeah! It's great!

 

[Aaron]

Delicious. Brings me right back to childhood.

 

[Astro Cat]

It's my favorite sauce. Hot Mustard I enjoy for a couple bites then I'm done. A huge part of my love for honey is definitely from my childhood.

 

[Deraldin]

It's simple. I like honey, but don't like mustard.

 

[Tom Penny]

Nope but I'm addicted to honey mixed with Huy Fong chili sauce on ribs chicken pork chops.. Anything. Sweet and heat 🙂

 

[Vern]

I used to do this when I was a kid. I haven't had chicken mcnuggets since I was probably 12 though and developed a sense of taste.

 

[Valkyr]

It's mind blowing that McD used to offer just straight honey as a dipping sauce. Absolutely delishious on McNuggets though. Wish they still had it.

 

[Quzar]

Pretty sure they used to do this at McDonalds till it became a health risk for kids, shit ripped.

 

[Lost Lemurian]

I exclusively dipped in honey as a kid. Gradually, I transitioned to honey mustard, and now finally hot mustard, the king of McDonald's sauces.

 

[16bitnova]

That's what I'm saying. You need something to cut the sweet.

Yeah... That.. that's the chicken.

 

[TaterTots]

This forum continues to impress me with its weird preferences.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Used honey as a kid but I use different things that strike me now. But not McDonald's, ew.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Been using Honey exclusively on McNuggets since the mid-80's.

People can do what they want but just no. People that dip chicken nuggets in honey are probably the same foul bastards that like pineapple pizza.

Guilty as charged.

Honey works well with heat or sour notes. On its own it would be too sweet for me use as a dipping sauce.

 

[Uncivilized Elk]

someone said they do this and I don't understand. Why not use Honey Mustard

Click to shrink...

Never done this (now want to try), but isn't the reason simply because honey mustard and honey taste very different?
Its just simple taste preference.

 

[Garth2000]

Is it my go to? No. I prefer honey mustard or hot sauce

Is it tasty? Yes. I did it when I was a kid and still go back from time to time.

 

[True Underdog]

I used to do it when I was a kid, not anymore.

Not opposed to it, just don't prefer it.

 

[SpankyDoodle]

"I don't understand"

maybe try it?

"why not use honey mustard?""

because honey and honey mustard are nothing alike? That's like "Why do people drink Coke with food when they can drink milk"

"You need something to cut the sweet"

That is *literally* what the salty ass fried chicken is for

Like am I about to blow your mind out your butt by telling you eating fried chicken with waffles and maple syrup is a thing? and that it's fucking heavenly?

 

[Aeana]

It's not my favorite way, but I did it all the time growing up. Honey was always included with McNuggets when we went to McDonald's.

 

[maruchan]

I'm going to show my age but comercials in the 80"s showed them using honey on them. I use to only eat them with the honey packs they had for dipping and still do. You have to ask p

 

[Dullahan]

It's barely acceptable. Definitely not recommended.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Sorry but I only use Sweet N Sour and occasionally BBQ when in the mood.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Why eat McNuggets in the first place? they are truly disgusting.

I agree 0%.

They do... just ask for it. I had it last week.

 

[Wubby]

I'd rather Mayo but Honey/Syrup is acceptable if I want a sweeter taste. As long as it's not ketchup.

 

[inner-G]

It's not bad but I'd rather just use ketchup

 

[AlphaCookie]

I normally shoot for Buffalo sauce ever since they murdered the Habenero Ranch in cold blood however long ago. My sister gets Honey all the time. I've tried it, it's pretty good because like, honey is good. But the honey cup is like 1/4 the size of a standard sauce cup so hopefully you only want honey on about a nugg and a half.

 

[cheeseholidays]

dude yes

 

[RestEerie]

what's up with americans' fixation with mustard? That shit is only suitable for hotdogs and nothing else!

 

[TheCthultist]

someone said they do this and I don't understand. Why not use Honey Mustard

Because honey is good on just about anything. That doesn't mean honey mustard isn't also good on many things. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[Deleted member 31873]

I don't want anything sweet in my meal.

 

[NekoNeko]

Because they enjoy the taste of their chicken dipped in honey, not mustard.

thread solved.

 

[acheron_xl]

You only dip McNuggets in BBQ or Hot Mustard. That's it.

 

[Borgus]

If its well seasoned chicken its awesome, but McNuggets? I honestly don't get the love at all.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Its fantastic!

Seems to be location specific. All the McDonald's around me got rid of it years ago because honey was too expensive.

 

[EraldoCoil]

Had some Mcnuggets tonight and used one of my sauces on a Honey Packet.

I tried it, I can see why people like it, but not for me. I ended up adding some of the honey to my hot mustard and made a Hot Honey Mustard which was amazing lol
