Burger King calls this teriyaki-style, though the pot tells a slightly different story: sugar, distilled vinegar and soybean oil emulsified with egg yolk, then pushed savory with garlic, spices and yeast extract. There's no soy sauce in it at all. What that produces is closer to a thick sweet-tangy dressing than to a glaze, which is why it clings to a nugget instead of sliding off one. Sugar lands first, the vinegar cuts in behind it, and the garlic and yeast extract fill the middle. Paprika, turmeric and annatto account for the deep orange color. Against the rest of the sauce rack it sits between the sweeter barbecue and the sharper honey mustard rather than replacing either. New dipping sauces are rare at Burger King, and this one arrived attached to an anime license rather than to a new piece of chicken. It went nationwide on 1 September 2026 with the Dragon Ball Burst Lemonade, sold with 10-piece nuggets in a Power Up Pack and alongside a themed King Jr. Meal carrying one of six figurines.
Seven US chains launched between 28 August and 1 September. Only two changed anything permanently, and the biggest of those happened because thousands of customers said the old version was rubbery.
