Tossed vs. Dipped: The Sauced Basket Experience

While the traditional 4-Piece Chicken Strip Basket lets you dip plain fried chicken into dipping cups, Dairy Queen's Sauced Basket takes a cue from classic wing house traditions. Straight from the fryer, the piping-hot strips are transferred into a stainless mixing bowl and hand-tossed with thick, honey-sweetened barbecue sauce. The heat of the fresh breading carmelizes the sauce into every crispy cranny while preserving the interior crunch. For just a modest $0.50 upcharge over the plain basket ($10.49 vs. $9.99), it delivers complete flavor saturation from first bite to last. Compare every strip and basket style across The Queen Dairy Menu.
