Copycat Chick Fil A Sauce

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.

Be sure to use this sauce with Chick Fil A chicken nuggets.

Home of the famous Chick Fil A Chicken Sandwiches

Chick Fil A is famous for its chicken sandwiches. Its well-known slogan “EAT MOR CHIKIN” is very apt and makes cows happy. Serving a boneless, breaded chicken breast was a novelty for its time – it’s hard to believe, but no other fast food restaurant had a chicken sandwich on its menu.

Truett Cathy, Chick Fil A’s founder, experimented for years to finally arrive at the perfect chicken sandwich in 1964. That capital “A” means “grade A top quality.” Truett’s happy customers told him, “We like it, don’t change it again,” and it never has been. You are going to love this copycat Chick Fil A sauce when you make it at home.

More Yummy with Sauce

A Chick Fil A chicken sandwich is even more delicious when spread with Chick Fil A Sauce. I don’t have access to Chick Fil A’s recipe, but I believe my version tastes just like their sauce and is just as good.

Unfortunately, some people live in a Chick Fil A “desert”. If you don’t have a Chick Fil A around, you can make this famous sauce in your own kitchen and even enjoy it on a Sunday when all Chick Fil A restaurants are closed.

What Makes Chick Fil A Sauce so Good?

The sauce began as a happy accident when an employee who wasn’t paying attention put honey mustard dipping sauce into a dispenser containing barbecue sauce. This combination created something magical and led to the famous Chick Fil A Sauce. Now you can recreate their original sauce at home.

Somehow, this sauce’s blend of honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and mayonnaise is much better than any of those sauces alone. The taste is honey mustard with piquant undertones of barbecue – and the mayonnaise adds a smooth creaminess.

Chick-fil-A Sauce Ingredients – What Chick-fil-A Sauce is made of

Here’s a list of what you need:

• Honey – make sure you use one that is real honey, you want the natural flavor of the honey for this recipe
• Yellow mustard – Use Heinz brand
• Dijon mustard – this will give your sauce some zip to it, the distilled vinegar in this helps the flavor come through.
• Mayonnaise – I personally like Duke’s or Hellman’s, you can use the mayo that you have on hand.
• Barbecue Sauce – I recommend Heinz BBQ Sauce, if you can’t find this, choose a BBQ sauce with hickory flavoring. If you can not find Heinz use something that has a natural hickory smoke flavor.
• Lemon juice – if you don’t have fresh, you could use 1/2 of the recommended amount if you want to substitute lemon juice concentrate
