Buffalo sauce features buttery undertones with a hint of vinegar, while Honey BBQ sauce combines a smoky flavour with honey.  

The classic Garlic Parm flavour delivers a savoury balance of garlic and parmesan.  

Spicy Ghost Pepper has an “intensely spicy” flavour. 

Spicy Honey BBQ and Spicy Buffalo sauces offer a blend of sweet and spicy and a vinegar tang respectively, and Spicy Garlic Parm sauce is a take on a classic, packed with four types of roasted garlic. 

Wendy’s Company Culinary Innovation global vice-president John Li said: “We crafted four unique sauces to complement the Wendy’s nugget experience and to provide fans with a variety of chicken options that meet their lifestyles and palettes.”
