We're not talking about real rules like "No double dipping." No, I'm talking about everything else, like what dipping sauces go with what kinds of finger foods, if it's okay to "embellish" a dipping sauce with salt, pepper, or Tabasco, or whether you can dip in one sauce and re-dip in another to make a "combo" dip. Obviously, if you're eating your own plate of chicken fingers, you can do whatever the hell you want. If you're sharing an appetizer platter, what do you do?
I do everything. First of all, when the restaurant offers honey mustard with the chicken tenders because that's normal and accepted, I still like to ask for Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce. If I recall from my old Chicken Nuggets days, breaded, deep-fried chicken goes with: BBQ sauce, Sweet & Sour, and Honey Mustard. So the Ranch dressing is a little off.
