SECRET MENU: MCDONALD’S

Dipping Sauces 😋 

• Chipotle BBQ

• Creamy Ranch

• Honey Mustard

• Hot Mustard

• Spicy Buffalo

• Sweet Chili

• Sweet & Sour

• Tangy BBQ

The "McDonalds Dipping Sauces" aren't actually one of the McDonalds "secret menu" items but they aren't exactly out in the open either. If you order the Chicken McNuggets at McDonalds you are usually asked if you would like BBQ sauce with them. But, they seldom offer you the wide range of sauces that they have available, unless of course you know the McDonalds secret menu and can ask for your favorite variety of McDonalds Dipping Sauces.

In addition to the regular BBQ sauce, the McDonalds Dipping Sauces include: Sweet and Sour, Honey Mustard, Chipotle BBQ, Tangy BBQ, Spicy Buffalo, Sweet Chili, Hot Mustard, and Creamy Ranch. You won't find that whole list anywhere on the regular menu at McDonalds.

How to Order: Ask for an additional dipping sauce of your choice and make every burger extra delicious. This is definitely a game changer!

MENU HACK: KFC

Ultimate Zinger 😋 

The Ultimate Zinger is an Ultimate Burger but with a Zinger fillet instead of the two ordinary mini fillets. Though KFC doesn’t really have this on the menu, you can order the two items and build it. After ordering, you might notice a significant difference in size. The Zinger fillet was actually only a bit bigger than one of the mini fillets. You can simply stick the Zinger fillet inside the Ultimate and keep all the rest, ending up with three chunks of chicken 🔥 

Spicy, crispy-coated chicken, slaw, cheese and pulled chicken on top makes the Ultimate Zinger. First bite you might get a bit of the fillet. Second bite might finally get a Zing and third bite for the BBQ Zing. That made all the cravings and burger building worthwhile. Three distinct chicken flavors and two textures going on in there, ably complemented by the subtle crunchy slaw and the cheese and lettuce.

Loving the Zinger and sticking it in an Ultimate Burger is the very best thing you can think of a KFC secret menu 😋 

How to Order: Ask for a Zinger Burger and an Original Pulled Chicken Ultimate Burger and put the zinger fillet inside the ultimate burger, keeping all the ingredients inside 💯
