Church's Chicken Sauces Menu Prices, Calories & Best Dips (2026)
By Church's Editorial Team | Published Aug 3, 2026 | Updated Aug 3, 2026
Church's Chicken sauces include Churchie Sauce, Zesty Ranch, Creamy Jalapeño, Honey BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Brown Gravy on the official sauces menu. Extra sauce cups commonly appear around $0.49-$0.69 in current sample menus, but final prices vary by restaurant.
Sauces are small items, but they change how tenders, boneless wings, fries, sandwiches, biscuits, and family meals eat. A 3PC tenders meal feels different with Honey BBQ than it does with Zesty Ranch or Brown Gravy.
The best way to read the sauces menu is to separate three things: official sauce availability, nutrition facts, and selected-restaurant price. The sauce names and nutrition values below come from Church's official sources; price rows are sample or average signals only.

Church's Chicken Sauces Menu: What Dipping Sauces Are Available?
The official Church's sauces category lists Churchie Sauce, Zesty Ranch, Creamy Jalapeño, Honey BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Brown Gravy. Some location menus may also show ketchup, honey sauce, white gravy, dry rubs, or local add-ons.
The core dipping sauces are built around tenders, boneless wings, fries, and chicken pieces. Brown Gravy works differently because it behaves more like a side topping: it fits mashed potatoes, fries, tenders, and comfort-style chicken plates.
Local ordering screens can change the sauce count by item. A 3PC or 5PC tender meal may include a limited number of sauce selections, while larger tender packs can allow more sauce cups. Extra cups may carry an added charge.
| Sauce | Official Menu Role | Average Price Signal | Calories | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Churchie Sauce | Signature dipping sauce | $0.49-$0.69 sample | 120 | Tenders, fries, sandwiches |
| Zesty Ranch | Creamy ranch-style sauce | $0.49-$0.69 sample | 108 | Original tenders, fries, spicy chicken |
| Creamy Jalapeño | Creamy pepper sauce | $0.49-$0.69 sample | 120 | Tenders, wraps, boneless wings |
| Honey BBQ | Sweet barbecue sauce | $0.49-$0.69 sample | 45 | Spicy tenders, wings, chicken pieces |
| Honey Mustard | Sweet mustard sauce | $0.49-$0.69 sample | 140 | Original tenders and fries |
| Brown Gravy | Savory gravy add-on | $1.29-$2.49 sample | 36 regular | Mashed potatoes, fries, tenders |
Use those prices as planning signals, not fixed national prices. A pickup cart, delivery marketplace, catering cart, and in-store register can price extra sauces differently.
Churchie Sauce: Calories, Flavor Profile & Best Pairings
Churchie Sauce is Church's signature-style dip. The reviewed nutrition row lists 120 calories, 12g total fat, 420mg sodium, 3g carbs, 2g sugar, egg, and soy per sauce cup.
Churchie Sauce is the safest first pick when someone wants one all-purpose dip. It works with tenders, fries, chicken pieces, boneless wings, and sandwiches because it sits between creamy, tangy, sweet, and savory.
The tradeoff is calories and sodium. One cup is not huge, but two or three cups can add the same calorie load as a side. That matters most with large tender packs, delivery carts, and party meals where sauce cups multiply quickly.
| Churchie Sauce Fact | Value | Order Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 120 | Budget like a small add-on |
| Total Fat | 12g | Creamy sauce profile |
| Sodium | 420mg | Watch with spicy chicken or fries |
| Total Carbs | 3g | Lower-carb than sweet sauces |
| Sugar | 2g | Not a high-sugar dip |
| Allergens Listed | Egg, soy | Avoid if those allergens matter |
Church's Sauce Calories Compared
Honey BBQ is the lowest-calorie core dipping sauce at 45 calories. Zesty Ranch has 108 calories, Churchie Sauce and Creamy Jalapeño have 120 calories each, and Honey Mustard has 140 calories.
Sauce calories are easy to miss because they sit outside the main meal. A 5PC tenders meal already includes chicken, side, drink, biscuit, and sauce; adding extra cups can push the meal much higher than the visible entree calories.
Honey BBQ is the lightest main dip, but it brings 10g sugar. Honey Mustard is the highest-calorie core sauce here at 140 calories. Brown Gravy is only 36 calories for a regular serving, but its sodium is the main issue.
| Sauce | Calories | Total Fat | Sodium | Carbs | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honey BBQ | 45 | 0g | 200mg | 11g | 10g |
| Zesty Ranch | 108 | 11g | 191mg | 2g | 1g |
| Churchie Sauce | 120 | 12g | 420mg | 3g | 2g |
| Creamy Jalapeño | 120 | 13g | 210mg | 2g | <1g |
| Honey Mustard | 140 | 13g | 160mg | 4g | 4g |
| Brown Gravy, Regular | 36 | 1g | 860mg | 12g | 1g |
| Ketchup | 10 | 0g | 65mg | 2g | 2g |
| Honey Sauce | 80 | 0g | 0mg | 20g | 17g |
Best Church's Sauces For Tenders, Wings, Fries & Sandwiches
Choose Churchie Sauce for an all-purpose dip, Honey BBQ for spicy tenders or wings, Zesty Ranch for fries and original tenders, Creamy Jalapeño for mild heat, and Brown Gravy for comfort-style sides.
A good sauce pairing adds contrast. Spicy chicken benefits from sweet or creamy sauces. Original tenders can handle richer dips. Fries work with creamy sauces or gravy. Sandwiches work better when the sauce does not overpower pickles, mayo, or the bun.
For boneless wings, start with the sauce that matches the seasoning. Honey BBQ fits spicy or smoky orders. Zesty Ranch and Creamy Jalapeño work when the chicken is already salty and crisp. Churchie Sauce is the safest one-cup default.
| Menu Item | Best Sauce | Second Choice | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Tenders | Honey Mustard | Churchie Sauce | Classic sweet-creamy tender dip |
| Spicy Tenders | Honey BBQ | Zesty Ranch | Sweet or creamy balance |
| Boneless Wings | Churchie Sauce | Creamy Jalapeño | Good with breaded white meat |
| Fries | Zesty Ranch | Brown Gravy | Creamy dip or comfort topping |
| Chicken Sandwich | Churchie Sauce | Creamy Jalapeño | Adds flavor without needing a custom build |
| Mashed Potatoes | Brown Gravy | None | Classic gravy pairing |
| Honey-Butter Biscuit | Honey Sauce | Honey Mustard | Sweet add-on only if available |
Church's Sauce Allergens: Egg, Dairy, Soy, Sesame & Wheat Notes
The reviewed PDF lists egg and soy for Churchie Sauce, egg for Creamy Jalapeño, dairy, egg, and sesame for Zesty Ranch, and egg for Honey Mustard. Honey BBQ, ketchup, and honey sauce show no major allergen marks in the reviewed rows.
Allergen rows are ingredient signals, not preparation guarantees. A sealed sauce cup is easier to verify than an open prep-line item, but the selected restaurant still controls handling, storage, and cross-contact risk.
Brown Gravy needs extra caution because gravy rows and mashed-potato-with-gravy rows can be interpreted differently by menu context. If wheat, dairy, soy, egg, MSG, or gluten matters, ask the restaurant and use the official allergen page before ordering.
| Sauce | Dairy | Egg | Soy | Wheat | Sesame |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Churchie Sauce | Not listed | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Creamy Jalapeño | Not listed | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |

Brown Gravy, White Gravy & Sauce Add-Ons
Brown Gravy appears in the official sauces category and lists 36 calories with 860mg sodium for a regular serving. White Gravy is more of a limited/local or breakfast-style gravy signal and should not be treated as a universal sauce.
Brown Gravy is useful when you want a comfort-style order: mashed potatoes, fries, tenders, or chicken pieces. It is lower in calories than creamy dips, but its sodium is high for a small add-on.
White Gravy appears in the reviewed nutrition content as a limited availability item. It lists 80 calories and 580mg sodium, and previous allergen rows used across this site flag dairy, egg, soy, wheat, and MSG. Check the selected restaurant before relying on it.
| Gravy / Add-On | Status | Calories | Sodium | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brown Gravy, Regular | Official sauces category | 36 | 860mg | Mashed potatoes, fries, tenders |
| Brown Gravy, Large | Nutrition row available | 109 | 2,579mg | Group side topping |
| White Gravy | Limited/local signal | 80 | 580mg | Tenders where available |
| Ketchup | Condiment signal | 10 | 65mg | Fries |
| Honey Sauce | Condiment signal | 80 | 0mg | Biscuits |
How Many Sauces Come With Church's Tenders?
Sauce count depends on the item and restaurant checkout. Local Church's tender pages commonly show sauce selectors for tenders, with larger tender packs allowing more sauce selections than small individual meals.
The safest sauce planning rule is simple: check the sauce selector before payment. If the cart includes only one sauce and you are ordering several tenders or wings, add extra cups if the selected restaurant allows it.
For family meals, count sauce by people, not only by tenders. A 15PC or 20PC tender meal needs enough sauce for different tastes, especially if the group includes kids, spicy-food avoiders, and people who want gravy.
| Order Size | Sauce Strategy | Best Mix | Checkout Watch-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3PC Tenders | One main sauce | Honey Mustard or Churchie Sauce | Extra cup may cost more |
| 5PC Tenders | One or two flavors | Churchie Sauce plus Honey BBQ | Check included count |
| 10PC Tenders | Multiple sauce cups | Ranch, BBQ, Churchie | Match sauce count to people |
| 15PC Tenders | Group sauce mix | Sweet, creamy, and gravy | Do not rely on one flavor |
| 20PC Tenders | Large group mix | At least three flavor types | Confirm paid extras before checkout |
Best Low-Calorie, Low-Sugar & Lower-Sodium Sauce Choices
For fewer calories, choose Honey BBQ or Brown Gravy in a regular serving. For lower sugar, choose Creamy Jalapeño, Zesty Ranch, or Churchie Sauce. For lower sodium among core sauces, Honey Mustard is the gentler choice at 160mg.
There is no single best sauce for every nutrition goal. Honey BBQ is light in calories but has 10g sugar. Brown Gravy is low in calories but high in sodium. Honey Mustard has the highest calories among the core dips but lower sodium than Churchie Sauce.
The most practical move is portion control. One sauce cup gives enough flavor for a small meal. Two or three cups make sense for a larger tender order, but they should be counted as part of the meal.
| Goal | Best Sauce Pick | Use Caution With | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest calories | Honey BBQ | Honey Mustard | 45 Cal vs 140 Cal |
| Lowest sugar | Creamy Jalapeño | Honey Sauce | <1g sugar vs 17g sugar |
| Lower sodium | Honey Mustard | Brown Gravy | 160mg vs 860mg regular gravy |
| Creamy dip | Zesty Ranch | Multiple ranch cups | 108 Cal per cup |
| All-purpose flavor | Churchie Sauce | Large sauce count | 120 Cal and 420mg sodium per cup |
