- Use identical chicken nuggets for both comparisons so texture and seasoning don't influence sauce evaluation
- Cleanse your palate between tastings with plain water or a neutral cracker to avoid flavor carryover
- Have a neutral third party serve the sauces unlabeled to ensure true blind conditions and honest reactions
