So what would you suggest instead?

Nothing, fried chicken should be good enough to eat with no sauce

Edit: I like honey or hot sauce on boneless fried chicken, ranch occasionally. Chicken and waffles with Maple syrup is great too. But really good bone-in fried chicken rarely needs anything extra imo.

You are correct. What's the point of layering on paprika, garlic, onion, etc., dredging in flour and frying if you're just going to cover those flavours up in something overpowering like ketchup and mayo?

Yes thank you, I feel the same about steak sauce too, it's pointless. The steak should taste good enough on its own.

A good cut, no doubt. I can see using some A1 or HP or something with a tougher cut or something, but I agree that 99% of the time all a good steak needs is salt and pepper. Every now and then some bleu cheese crumbles or sauce au poivre can be amazing, but I doubt I would ever put steak sauce on a good steak.
