Sweet Baby Ray’s is well known for its dipping sauces and spreads. The latest addition to the brand's lineup is Ray’s Chicken Sauce, which is a condiment that was specifically developed to bring out the best flavors of chicken. The sauce itself combines the traditional flavors of honey mustard and barbecue sauce for a subtly-sweet, smoky flavor profile. The result is a perfect dipping sauce for everything from oven-baked chicken tenders to a crispy fried chicken sandwich.

Ray’s Chicken Sauce can now be found at grocery stores and other retailers nationwide in handy 14-ounce bottles.
