Chicken Dipping Sauce Blind Taste Test

Pro tips

• Keep sauce temperatures consistent — serve both sauces at room temperature to prevent temperature bias from affecting flavor perception
• 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
