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 making some chicken and craving this sauce to go with it and decided to use this recipe, I only wanted a small portion and didnt have lemon juice so I kind of just put a small amount of every other ingredient into a small sauce dish, mixed it, and I was honestly SHOCKED at how similar it was. So happy to be able to make the sauce at home now! I’ll be sharing this with my family too!
So happy you loved the recipe Laura!
I used Sweet Baby Ray’s and followed to a T and this is an exact replica!
Fantastic! I use this recipe all the time, excellent for dipping and on burgers as well.
What kind of yellow mustard do you use?
In Sweden we have sweet yellow m, spicy yellow m dijon yellow m, and one more which is a little dark but still yellow and it is simply called mustard.
I will try to figure it out by experiment , but anyway I’d love to know which one you are using!

I wouldn’t use a spicy or a dijon mustard. Here is a link to the type I used. https://www.heinz.com/products/00013000002189-100-natural-yellow-mustard
