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 was hungry and looking for something to eat and I made some chicken. I sat down and thought to myself “Man….I REALLY wnat some Chick-fal-A sauce right now” so I looked up a recipe, clicked on the five star one, made the sauce and MAN was my craving forfilled!! Thank you so much for this recipe. Tastes JUST like Chick-fil-A sauce, will be making again!!
Easy and delicious! we live very far from the nearest chick fil la.. so this works out great! Thank you!
I made this recipe twice – nailed it the first time, second time, disappointing results, why? it’s all about the BBQ sauce! The first time I made it with a dark, smokey sauce, bull brand maybe? Second time the brand with the name of the former princess of wales… not nearly as close to chickfila the second time… so make sure you use a robust, dark, smokey BBQ sauce and you’re good to go!
I saw some asked about type of bbq sauce or honey substitute…I use the Kraft hickory smoke bbq sauce (gives it a slightly Smokey flavor but tastes awesome in this recipe) as for the honey, you can substitute with brown sugar melted in hot water, I’ve also done half yellow mustard half honey mustard but always turns out amazing. VERY lightly slathered some buns with mayo and “fried” them in a pan, we use grilled chicken instead of fried, with some homemade fries….amazing!!!
What can I sub for BBQ sauce? I’m out and I do y want to go out just for that. I may as well just go to Chick-fil-a 😂
That is one of the key ingredients, so I don’t think there is a substitute to get the same flavor.
