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.

This tastes like honey mustard. If you read the ingredient on a chick-fil-a sauce you’ll see they don’t add honey. They add sugar. They also add distilled vinegar as cider vinegar. The BBQ sauce needs to be a bit more prominent.
Well of course they don’t use honey, it’s too expensive. Who wants sugar when you can make it healthier. That’s the whole point of home cooking, to make it healthier for you! Distilled vinegar=cheap as well. You only use distilled vinegar for pickling and cleaning. Use rice vinegar instead, but I like lemon juice in this. The recipe is very good!
This was great! I’m never hoarding Chick Fil A sauce again!
I made this many times, awesome! I just made it again with a popular hot honey and it’s even better.
I will have to give the hot honey a try!
So good!!!! Thank you! My daughter is over the moon happy as we’ve not been out since the pandemic and things have gotten VERY experimental over here! Thank you for a hit!
Great recipe – tastes just like the real sauce!
