What to Serve With This Easy Dipping Sauce!

Ever wonder about all the different ways you can put chicken dipping sauces to good use? Well, here are a few suggestions I think you might like for your Chicken Finger Dipping Sauce!

Finger Foods

It is no secret that sauces are the best companions for your favorite finger foods like crispy chicken tenders, crispy chicken strips, popcorn chicken, homemade chicken nuggets, or even French fries!

Vegetables

I have discovered long ago that the best kinds of snacks are always the ones that can be dipped.

No need to limit your favorite sauces to chicken and meat; give veggies a try! Baby cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, celery, Asparagus, green beans, cherry tomatoes, or even broccoli are yummy options for your dip!

Homemade Chicken Strips

You can also make chicken breast strips by coating skinless chicken breasts in bread crumbs, or Panko breadcrumbs, then baking them in the oven like I do, or dumping them in hot oil!

Homemade strips hit different! Keep in mind, you can also buy them all ready made then bake, air fry or pan fry your chicken strips like I do.

P.s. After deep frying, place your chicken strips as a single layer on some paper towels to remove excess oil.

Use it as a Spread

There’s more! Our favorite recipe is not limited to only dipping! Consider using it as a spreading for your burgers, sandwiches, or anything that requires ketchup or a cup of mayonnaise.

Oh! Make sure you check out my collection of recipes of chicken dishes, or even meat. You will find plenty of delicious option for your next meal!


How to Store Your Dipping Sauce!

If your family is nothing like mine, and don’t gobble down delicious dipping sauce with a side of crispy chicken fingers, then knowing these storing instructions is important!

To store: Keep your dipping sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.

To Freeze: Freezing sauces isn’t preferred. Making this sauce requires minimal prep work, so you can easily whip it out in seconds! No need to freeze!

Make-ahead: You can definitely prepare this dipping sauce recipe in advance and keep it in the fridge. Make sure you cover the container with a lid, aluminum foil, or a piece of plastic wrap to avoid dealing with crusty skin.
