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.

wow! tastes very similar! it is really tangy and strong though, so i would recommend adding more mayo to bring down the flavor intensity.
This sauce is delicious! We are making everything homemade because of COVID-19 quarantine. My husband is very high risk so we don’t even get take out. This sauce really made our frozen chicken nuggets shine!
I loved this recipe. It tastes just like the original sauce and it’s so simple to make. I live in Brazil but there isn’t Chick Fil A here. So, I could only eat this in the US. Now I can make it at home. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I got sent home from college due to the coronavirus and was seriously missing chick-fil-a runs with my friends after classes so i tried to remake the sauce, and this recipe is so on point! thank you!
Absolutely PERFECT–tastes EXACTLY like the ‘real thing’–thank you for reverse engineering the original recipe 🙂
