Chowhound's Alex Springer ranked McDonald's standard nugget dipping sauces from worst to best according to their flavor, consistency, and texture. Honey mustard came out on top.
The honey mustard nailed the balance of sweet and savory, embracing the salty flavor of the McNugget while providing notes of acidity, creaminess, and sweet honey.
The inclusion of white wine in the sauce might surprise some, but it’s commonly in French Dijon mustard, which McDonald's honey mustard sauce clearly takes inspiration from.
Most honey mustards are simply a blend of dijon mustard with honey and additional spices. Despite the inclusion of white wine, the alcohol content of the sauce is negligible.
