Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce
You guys know that I try to avoid fast food most of the time. Home cooking is much healthier, and cheaper too. But every so often, I must confess, I get a craving for Chick-Fil-A.
It’s not about the chicken – I can cook perfectly good chicken at home, thank you very much. It’s the sauce. That special sauce you get only from Chick-Fil-A – like a cross between smoky barbecue sauce and a creamy honey-mustard, with just a hint of lemon.
Well, it’s just plain silly to go out for chicken when all you really want is the sauce. And ordering a tub of the sauce by itself would be even sillier. So I realized I’d just have to make my own.

And once I got to work, it turned out to be pretty easy. All the components – mustard, mayo, barbecue sauce, lemon, and honey – were right in my fridge and pantry. It was just a question of adjusting the amounts until I achieved that perfect blend of creamy and spicy, tangy and sweet.
So now, with my new recipe, you can have the craveable taste of Chick-Fil-A sauce in your own kitchen whenever you want. You’re welcome.

I made this for our homemade fried chicken sandwiches. I followed the recipe to a T and then refrigerated it for a couple of hours. I used Kewpie mayo and fresh squeezed lemon juice. This was so spot on for Chic fil A sauce!! TIP: Use hickory smoked BBQ sauce. It is the best for this recipe. I saw it posted on another website. It won’t disappoint. =)
Great base recipe! Mine came out a little too mustardy, so I just added an additional bit of honey, BBQ sauce, and mayo. Perfect!
is sweet baby rays ok to use?
thank you
Yep! I hope you love the recipe Leroy
Thank you for creating and sharing this recipe. My husband and I fell in love with Chick Fil-A while on vacation and were sad to discover this chain is not available where we live in Canada. This sauce is spot-on and helps satisfy those Chick Fil-A cravings. 🙂
My family would drink this sauce if I let them! We use it on everything, chicken, burgers, country sausage, dipping veggies, all good! The color may not be exact, but there’s no telling the difference. Thank you!
