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.

This was a great recipe! I was worried about the color, but after putting in the fridge it was awesome. My family loved this with our chicken grilled nuggets. I decided to use more mayo. Can’t complain. Thank you
WOW! You NAILED it on this one! We used French’s mustard, local honey, Kewpie Mayo, and Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ. We did a side-by-side comparison and would have been hard pressed to taste the difference.
Our bottle of Chic Fil A sauce is almost empty. It is not easy to find in our grocery stores, so I googled recipes and found this. It is excellent! I tried to make a smaller amount & think I goofed on proportions. But we do not feel the need to buy the CFA brand ever again. Thank you so much!
This made an adequate dipping sauce, but it was definitely NOT anything like CFA. Perhaps ingredient brands matter due to a variety of flavors? My search continues…
