- Which fast food chicken sauce will cross the road to victory? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (flames crackling) Good Mythical Morning. - What's the biggest moment
in the history of chicken? - Probably well, it's either
the chicken or the egg. (nervous laugh) I don't know - I think it was-- No I think it was when it was fried. - Oh. - When chicken was first fried. But second to that I think it's gotta be when chicken was tenderized. I mean when chicken became tenders? - Means multiple things but, yes. - Then you can freaking start to dip it and that becomes an experience that I crave on a weekly basis. So today we're trying to figure out what is that best dip to go with the chicken tends. - That's right. 8 fast food chicken sauces
will enter the fight but only 1 will be the
best in this behemoth of a bawk bawk brawl. It's a saucy, sassy,
single day showdown of chicken sauce superiority. It's time for Fast Food Saucedown! Chicken Sauces! - Woo, hold it together. - Woo! - Of course yesterday, we figured out the best sauce on a burger. And you can go back and watch that. Tomorrow we're gonna dig into some fries. But I am very excited about this. - Yes, okay. And again when we say
signature fast food sauce, we're not talking about the barbecue little thing that you can get. We're talking about the signature sauces. Original recipes.
- That's right. - The restaurants say hey we got this. Come and get it. - Only we got this particular particular. - And the Mythical Beasts, that's you, voted on what your favorite
chicken sauces were and that helped us narrow it down to what is going to be in today's bracket. That's why you may not
see some of the ones that are your favorites because
you didn't vote for them. - Zaxby's! - 33 thousand of you did vote. And the ones that we
narrowed it down to are, - [Link] Chick-Fil-A's Chick-Fil-A Sauce. - [Rhett] BoJangle's Bo's Special Sauce. - [Link] Popeye's Blackened Ranch. - [Rhett] Dairy Queen's Country Gravy. - [Link] Really? KFC's Finger Lickin' Good Sauce. - [Rhett] Church's Chicken Honey Mustard. - [Link] Raising Cane's Cane's Sauce. - [Rhett] And Wendy's
Side of S'Awesome Sauce. - At the end of this episode, we will name the undisputed best signature fast food
chicken dipping sauce. Let's go! (sports theme) First up we got Chick-Fil-A's
Chick-Fil-A Sauce in the number one seat versus BoJangle's Bo's Special
Sauce in the number 8 seat. And in the spirit of an even playing field and not to be distracted by the chicken, we just got some generic
control chicken strips here. - From iHop. (laughs) - Really because they would deliver. - Not a sponsor. But they had the least
distracting chicken. - Chick-Fil=A tweeted that
their sauce is a blend of honey mustard, barbecue, and ranch. (chewing) It's thick, it's saucy. - It has a smokiness to it. - It's smokey, it's tangy. (chewing) The BoJangle's Special Sauce
on their website it says, Bo's Special Sauce is our signature creamy roasted red pepper sauce. That'll have you yelling it's Bo Time! From the time you dip that
first chicken supreme. - Now you know how we
feel about BoJangle's. We are partial to it. We love it. - We love some Bo. - I gotta say though if I had to rank all the things that BoJangle's
offers on their menu, this sauce would be towards the bottom if not the worst thing
at BoJangle's for me. - It's the horseradish
is just distracting and it's a dividing taste. You know everyone's not going to like it. - It doesn't let the chicken sing. You want your chicken to sing. - (singing) Bo Time! Nope. - Nope, you don't want that. You want it to sing eat me. Because it's about the chicken. It's about the non distracting
chicken so I hate it. I hate it, BoJangle's but we are gonna-- - Give you the cluck chuck. - Give it to it. - Oh there it is. All right see I'm gonna really try it. - You can do it. Really really focus. Really focus. (sauce hits the floor) - Nope. (crew laughs) Didn't work. - It didn't open though. - Chick-Fil-A Chick-Fil-A
Sauce is moving on. (sports theme) - All right now we got
Popeye's Blackened Ranch versus Dairy Queen's Country Gravy? - Dairy Queen got country gravy? - We'll get to that in a second. Let's start over here with the Pop. - Did not know that. - Their Blackened Ranch is Popeye's traditional buttermilk
ranch dressing and then mixes in onion, garlic and a blend of peppers
and blackened seasoning. - It's weird. It's good. I mean it's very peppery. I'm tasting something familiar. I've never had this but I've
had something just like it. - They almost go a little bit
too far with the blackening. I kinda feel like. But let's just talk about
the fact that while I wasn't paying attention, while I
was sleeping on Dairy Queen, they went out and
developed gravy. (laughs) Did you know about this? - No, I did not and I mean
I'll have some white gravy on a biscuit with some
sausage in the gravy and I'll have it like on a
country fried steak but, I've never had it on
country fried chicken. - Well, tell me whatcha
think about it right now. (nervous laugh) Because I think it should be a thing. It's a bold choice to just
serve gravy for dipping. - It's a little bland though. I think with Popeye's ranch
sauce, it's starting to make me think of Zaxby's Zax sauce. Which didn't make our tournament. I'm really missing it. Zaxby's that's a good sauce. I'm voting for this, I love it. - Oh I'm not voting for it. I'm voting for the gravy. We're gonna have to
have a tender tug-o-war. That's the only way to
break a tie around here. - We slapped the patties yesterday. Today, is this a good one? - Yep. So you can't grab more than the other man. You like got your thumb all the way. - Okay. - But let's just-- - Pull. - Grab, everybody go,
just me and you. (laughs) - Everybody just-- - Just go a little bit further away. - Okay. - Okay. Three, two, one. - Pull. Well okay see, I won. - Yeah because you picked the tender and you grabbed it first. - Well here pick another tender. Best two out of three. (beep) Three, two, one, go. All right. - See I won that one. - So now we're tied. Now we're even-- - Now we both pick it.
- I'll go in blindfolded. (beep) All right, pull it. - And you pull it. - All right. - And mine's a little bit bigger. (laughs) - Hey it comes down to that guys. - That was fair. - Gravy moves on and I'm
not really complaining. - And that means that
the Blackened Ranch sauce gets the sauce toss. (sauce hits the floor) What in the world? Why am I so bad? - You threw in the wrong direction. (sports theme) - We got a new series over
on the Mythical Kitchen channel from Josh where he brings food from the past to life. We call it Past Food. Go check out the new episode on the Mythical Kitchen channel. - All right in our third
preliminary battle, we've got KFC's Finger
Lickin' Good Sauce versus Church's Chicken Honey Mustard. It's just honey mustard right? It must be special. - Don't speak too soon. - This KFC, I'm warning you, it's got some Worcestershire,
ketchup and mayo based sauce with pickle juice, mustard
extra sugar and white wine. - Really? You had to do that KFC? - White wine. - You didn't have to do that. - It tastes a lot better
than what I thought after reading those ingredients. It's pretty pickle-y. - Pickle-y and sweet. - Extra sugar. It's the wine. It's got that pickle sourness to it. - But can I just say how
undistracting this chicken is? Congratulations to you, iHop. (crew laughs) Your chicken is not notable. (nervous laugh) I mean it's good. But it's not bad. - Yeah it's fine. The Church's honey mustard
is a secret recipe. Is it special though? (chewing) A lot of honey. - As a child, I didn't like honey mustard. And then I saw so many
opportunities for honey mustard. Honey mustard would be on things I didn't even ask for it on. And I was like I need to make
myself like honey mustard. And I did. It's one of my greatest
accomplishments in life. - I'm continually proud of you for it. As far as honey mustard sauces go, this is some of the best. I mean it's a honey punch
and a mustard punch. It's like both were dialed up and they didn't cancel each other out. It was just like more pungent. - But it is still honey mustard. - And this is very unique. - Hey did you hear this
has white wine in it? I like this better. - It reminds me of the Zaxby's sauce. Which would've been my winner I think so. Yeah I'm voting for that too. Let's give this a cluck chuck. Can I do this? - Yeah you can. You can do it. One of us is gonna make
it before this is over. (sauce hits the floor) (groans with disappointment) That wasn't bad. That was close. - [Link] KFC Finger Lickin' Good! Finger looking good. (crew laughs) Sauce moves on. Now we got Raising Cane's
Cane's Sauce versus Wendy's Side of S'Awesome Sauce. Yes the official name is
Side of S'Awesome Sauce. Not just S'Awesome sauce. - It's not the main dish. - Number 7. - Now Raising Cane's was
brought to our attention. We actually didn't know
about it until Post Malone came here and said it
was his favorite chicken. He didn't ask us to get it. We got Popeye's instead
because it's so far away. But this is the first time
I've ever had anything from Raising Cane's. Including their sauce. (chewing) - We're still in that
Zaxby's sauce territory. That's the only thing I
have to compare it to. A little bit of the Popeye's but, mostly what we experienced
in the last round. - You know an employee
that was recently fired from Raising Cane's
tweeted out the recipe of this after they were fired. - Really? - They said it was very
simply a half cup mayo, a fourth cup ketchup, a half teaspoon garlic salt, a quarter teaspoon Worcestershire, a half teaspoon black pepper, to taste. - It's really good. This S'Awesome Sauce we
had it on the burger. We were critical. I said at the time it seems
like more of a fry sauce. Now it's coming home to roost. (chewing) What is that? That I don't like? - It's almost like ketchup. It's just like straight up
something is too sweet in here. It doesn't have enough bite to it. - It's like the barbecue
sauce at Wendy's is weird and I think that's what
they're putting in this. Because it's ranch dressing,
barbecue, hot sauce, honey mustard, and Worcestershire. - That's that familiar
taste and I don't like that barbecue sauce either. - Yep, that's the problem. - Chuck it, man. Well how come you get
to do it twice in a row? - Because you told me to. (sauce hits the floor) (groans with disappointment) (sports theme) - First semi finals we've
got the Chick-Fil-A sauce verses the Dairy Queen gravy. - Yeah, I mean-- - It's not much of a competition here. As impressed as I am by you, Dairy Queen, taking the risk on some gravy. Hoppin' on that gravy train
while nobody was looking. - Yeah and no one else is
doing it before or after. That should tell you something. We need to chuck this cluck, man. - I still like it. - Get the gravy out of here! - I still like it but it's
not Chick-Fil-A's sauce. I'm gonna make this one. - Make it count, Rhett. Yes! Finally! Woo! - Yeah! - [Link] Chick-Fil-A sauce moving on! (sports theme) This is gonna be a tough match up because these are trying to do the same thing. KFC finger's lookin' good
(nervous laugh) sauce versus Raising Cane's. I'm gonna have to go for
a total face off here. They're the same color. - I usually don't pay
attention to the color when I'm eating. - The KFC one has like a bit of an oily kinda thing happening. - Tasting them side by side, which one is this? Raising Cane's? - It's thicker. - Better. I think significantly better. - You know what it is-- - This has white wine. - And I think that's one of the problems. It's a little more runny. And it's just-- It has a salad dressing
kinda thing happening. - This has got a kick. It tastes like something
you could just make at home. If you follow that recipe
that person tweeted. - KFC you got to get
the cluck out of here. - You're gonna make it, Link. (sauce hits the floor) (sports theme) - It all comes down to this. Chick-Fil=A versus Raising Cane's. Who's gonna come out the champ? - You know what I'm in the mood for? - What? - Chicken tenders. (laughs) - Yeah, I'm growing a
little weary of the tender. (chewing) It's very syrup-y. - It's good. It's super simple though. Like you can't, it looks totally uniform. You can't see anything in it. This one, this looks like your grandma may have mixed it up. You know what I'm saying? - I wonder if they make it in the store? Because of the type of container it's in. Or if they just (blows raspberry) it out. - How would the employee know the recipe if they didn't make it at the store? - Good point. Man. - Man, this is not easy. - They both really prop
up the chicken well. I mean (gibberish). (crew laughs) - Did you just-- Was that English? (laughs) - It wasn't my brain. - Chicka woo woo woo? - Yeah. - That's what it sounded like to me. Chicka woo woo woo. (laughs) - That's what I actually said. I mean it can make this
chicken taste good, is what I was trying to say. - It can make this chicken woo woo woo. (crew laughs) - I think we're gonna have to do a 3,2,1. One of these has got
to get the cluck chuck. - Yeah okay. This is not easy. All right. - Ready? Three. - (together) Two. - (together) One. - Oh no. Really? - Something about that
last bite did it for me. Again. I just started realizing
how much I liked it. - All right. Close your eyes and grab that. It all comes down to an
unsatisfying chicken finger pull. Did you get one? All right flip it, and 3, 2, 1, pull. All right hold it up. - Mine's longer. You're is (together) wider. What's more important? (crew laughs) - I think we're--
- Stevie? - I think we're going
- Stevie you don't know. - [Stevie] I don't know. (Rhett laughs) - I think we're going with
longer and you know what, it was so close I feel okay with it. I just feel bad about cluck
chucking the Cane's sauce. But maybe I'll feel better--
- It's really good. - If I hit the basket. - Yeah you can do it, Link. (sauce hits the floor) You always miss exactly
in that same place. - Chick-Fil-A, congratulations. You are the best chicken
tender dipping sauce. Nicole this is for you. I'll call it chicken tendies. - There we go, just do that. - Thanks for, oh. Thanks for subscribing
and dipping that tendie. - You know what time it is. - [Woman] The ultimate
chicken sandwich showdown. - (together) It's time to
spin the Wheel of Mythicality! - That family knows what's up! - Yeah they're like just
get to the chicken, please. - Click the top link to
watch us try to guess the punch line to terrible chicken jokes in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. - All the best tasting
sauces on Earth are just some sort of pink or orange mayonnaise. Everyone's like I'm from Utah
and fry sauce is my favorite. No, wake up sheeple! It's just, you're eating
orange and pink mayonnaise.
Two of my favorite comments from Rhett:
"It's good, but it's not bad"
" You wouldn't know" Directed at Stevie.
Love these episodes
"They both really prop up the chicken well, imenamayashchikatigenduwa." Link just had a small mid-sentence stroke. Lol
The longer vs wider dilemma at the end was absolute gold haha, but Link wanted none of that on his Christian Minecraft server
Chick-fil-a: tastes like homophobia.
Not a knock on the show, just...that restaurant does not get my money ever.
Really disappointing that they chose to feature a restaurant that donates millions to organizations that don't want people like me to have any rights.
As a non-american, the frustrating thing is I will never be able to experience the sauces and get an idea of where they're coming from.
Disappointed to see Chick-Fil-A included in the running given their continued support of anti-lqbt+ groups.
Man, Rhett was in some kind of mood. He was really wanting and making some dirty jokes. XD
FYI Rhett and Link: Dairy Queen has had gravy forever. It is not a new thing. It comes with their country baskets.
