SONIC Adds Jalapeño Ranch and Asian-Style Sweet Chili to Expansive Dipping Sauce Lineup

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starting March 31, SONIC® Drive-In is adding even more options to its expansive collection of dipping sauces with two brand-new flavors: Jalapeño Ranch and Asian-Style Sweet Chili. Whether fans crave something creamy with a spicy twist or a sweet-meets-heat experience, these sauces will take any meal to the next level.

  • Jalapeño Ranch: A fiery remix of a fan-favorite classic, this sauce blends Ranch with a zesty hint of green jalapeños to form a spicy, herby and creamy dipping experience.
  • Asian-Style Sweet Chili: Sweet, spicy and irresistibly delicious, this sauce brings a bold balance of heat and sweetness with notes of soy sauce, sesame, garlic and ginger.

SONIC also revamped several of its existing dipping sauces with bolder Ranch, Honey Mustard and BBQ Sauce flavors – no matter which sauce guests prefer, they’ll experience a burst of flavor that elevates every bite.

“Our guests love customization, and the new Jalapeño Ranch and Asian-Style Sweet Chili dipping sauces let them try different flavor combinations to suit their style,” shared Mackenzie Gibson, Vice President of Culinary & Menu Innovation at SONIC. “Whether adding a kick to our beloved Tots by dipping them in Jalapeño Ranch or pairing our Premium Chicken Bites with Asian-Style Sweet Chili sauce for a sweet finish, fans now have even more ways to personalize and enjoy their favorite SONIC meals with our extended sauce lineup.”

To continue serving up unbeatable value and fun, SONIC is refreshing its $1.99* Menu – also known as the “FUN.99 Menu” – to now include two NEW Jr. Chicken Sandwiches! Both featuring juicy chicken, lightly breaded and seasoned on a toasted bakery bun, the Original Jr. Chicken Sandwich is topped with shredded lettuce and mayo while the Honey Chipotle Jr. Chicken Sandwich comes topped with a Sweet Honey Chipotle Aioli, shredded lettuce and ripe tomatoes.

In addition to the new Jr. Chicken Sandwiches, the refreshed $1.99 Menu includes:

  • Queso Wraps, available in Bacon Ranch and Southwest Crunch
  • French Toast Sticks
  • Small Groovy Fries
  • Small Floats, including Coca-Cola®, Dr PEPPER®, Barq’s Root Beer® and Fanta®
