Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce

Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce Recipe - Family Fresh Meals Recipe

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.

    I want to make the sauce BUT……. what flavor BBQ sauce do I use ? Hickory ? Brown sugar? Sweet? Spucy?

    1. I usually use a sweet or brown sugar type.

  3. How long is the sauce good for if I make a big batch?

    1. Refrigerated, I would use with in 3-5 days. You could try freezing it. I haven’t tried freezing it yet though, so if you do, could you let us know how it works out?

    2. You should NOT freeze mayo or (obviously) any mayo-based sauce.

    It was fun to have a generous amount of this sauce. It was more than I really needed so I started using it as a salad dressing. It was great to have a homemade dressing.
    ? BTW, can you tell me how long this will last in the fridge?

    1. SO happy you like the sauce! I would use the sauce within 3-5 days.

  5. 5 stars
    How long can this Remain refrigerated before it’s no good?

    1. I would use the sauce within 3-4 days
