My boys were blowing through bottles of this stuff weekly. Between the price and the junk in it, I said nope and made my own Chick-fil-A Sauce. It’s smoky, sweet, tangy, creamy magic … and honestly? Way better than the bottle.

How to Make Chick-fil-A Sauce at Home
When I was pregnant, I craved Chick-fil-A sauce and waffle fries daily ! I knew I had to figure out a copycat recipe. So, I started tweaking and testing until I finally landed this sauce recipe that (in my opinion) is better than the original!
- Add: Add mayonnaise, honey, bbq sauce, mustard, and lemon juice to a small bowl.
- Combine: Whisk together and serve as desired, or store in an airtight container and refrigerate until needed.
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Let it chill: Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld. Even better if you make it a day ahead, it gets thicker and even more delicious!
Make Ahead & Storage Instructions
- Make Ahead: Make the Chick-fil-A sauce a day or two in advance if you would like the flavors to fully meld together.
- Refrigerator: Keep the sauce in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: You can freeze Chick-fil-A sauce in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge run the frozen sauce in its container under warm water until it is thawed.
