As you might have guessed, the Spicy Chicken Strips are a hotter version of the brand's regular Crispy Chicken Strips. The spicy version is available a la carte in three- and five-piece orders, or as part of a two-piece snack box, three-piece combo meal, or a five-piece combo meal. But what's most exciting about the return of the Spicy Chicken Strips is the release of two tasty new dipping sauces. The new Honey Sriracha dip is a [sweet-and-spicy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-sauce) take on the signature Asian condiment, while the [Bacon Ranch dip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-valley-ranch-fire-sauce) pairs smokey bacon with creamy ranch.
