The Best Zaxbys Dipping Sauce Flavor, Hands Down

Zaxbys is all about the chicken, whether you order tenders or a sandwich, but there's another menu item that completes your fast-food meal: dipping sauce. And whether you want something tangy, spicy, sweet, or in between, Zaxbys has a slew of sauces to appease your craving. To find out which one is the absolute best, we ranked the fast-food chain's dipping sauces so you can dunk your chicken into the right container. 

According to our writer, the best dipping sauce at Zaxbys (out of the 12 they tried) is its Spicy Zax Sauce. Why? It takes the original Zax Sauce and adds more "tang and spice," making it similar to a combination of Zax Sauce and buffalo sauce. But the spice is not overpowering and also has sweet and salty notes. To back up my fellow writer, I agree that this is hands-down the best sauce at Zaxbys. There's not a location near where I live in New York, but I always go when I visit family elsewhere, and I like the tangy and spicy flavor it adds to my tenders.

Taste is subjective, especially when it comes to foods that pack spice, but our writer isn't the only one who thinks it's one of the best. On one Reddit thread, a customer puts the Spicy Zax Sauce at the top of their list, too. Over on TikTok, another fan compares it to the original Zax Sauce but says it has a "nice little kick to it." These days, you can also buy bottles of Zaxbys condiments at the store, and some fans on Reddit say the bottled Spicy Zax Sauce is even better than what you can get at the drive-thru — so you have a chance to try it even if you don't live near a Zaxbys location.

Are you ready to try Spicy Zax Sauce? The most obvious choice might be to order it with the chain's Chicken Fingerz, which are one of my favorite menu items. There are also bone-in and boneless wings if you don't like chicken tenders. Personally, I enjoy the fast-food chain's fried pickles and crinkle-cut fries, both of which would complement the spicy and tangy flavors of Spicy Zax Sauce.
