Chick Fil A Sauce to me, is almost as good as the Chick Fil A sandwich. Now it may be only my opinion, but I believe this recipe, while not the real recipe, tastes like the Chick Fil A sauce.
What makes the Chick Fil A Sauce so good? The sauce was made by an operator of a Chick Fil A restaurant when he accidentally put honey mustard dipping sauce into a barbecue sauce dispenser. This combination was magical. Ever since Mr. Hugh Flemming made this happy accident.
Unfortunately, not everyone is near a Chick Fil A nearby. Some of us still live in areas where there aren't any Chick Fil A's around. Now you can recreate this famous sauce at home.

Is there a BBQ sauce that is best for the real flavor of the yellow Chick Fil A sauce? What I use most is a BBQ sauce that is dark brown. It seems to me the overall color might be ruined using my BBQ sauce. Thanks.
I would use the plain Heinz BBQ sauce, as that is likely what Chick Fil A used initially when this happy accident happened.
I’ve been one to try to pick apart the ingredients in their CFA sauce. It’s pretty unique! I would have never thought there was BBQ sauce in it.
One plus of making it yourself is that you can remove all the preservatives and opt for healthier options, like lite mayo or olive oil based mayo. Thank you, Stephanie!
Have you considered creating their frosted lemonade? I would love that.
I am working on it 😉
I had a craven for this chick fil a sauce but didnt know how to make it but now i make it atleast once a week…THANK YOU
I have always wanted to copy this sauce. THANK YOU!!!
Just had Chick Fil A sandwiches for dinner last night ….love the sauce so was so happy to see
recipe today. Going to make up some sauce tonight. Hope it’s ok to mix in a small bowl instead of a small box…..lol
Really enjoy and appreciate your recipes. Thanks so much!
I personally love this sauce!
Chuckling at Barbara’s comment about bowl vs. “box!” I had the same thought….Stephanie is just too busy!!! ;o)
Thank you for correcting my text. I have made the change.
It was a small bowl, not a small box. Thank you for noting this for me. I am obviously not using an editor as I should be 😉
HI Stephanie! This is a sauce that I’ve been making at home for years, basically the same ingredients as you. Then a couple of weeks ago, I stopped and got a piece of KFC golden bbq sauce on a chicken thigh and BAM its pretty darn close, also. Then stopped and got a chicken sandwich at Chick Fillet and DOUBLE BAM, there it was again. Great minds think alike. Thanks for all of your posts on your blog, love it!!!………….e
I don’t know why more restaurants do not serve a similar sauce. It’s so tasty. Thank you for sharing about the KFC sauce. I will have to check it out.
