Let’s be real: I’m mostly here for the sauce.

Forget the Little Cups of Sauce, I Want A Whole Bowl.

Let’s be honest—dipping is half the fun of eating. And Chick-fil-A sauce? Yeah. Game changer.

Creamy, tangy, sweet, and smoky all at the same time. Like, what more could you want out of a simple recipe?

And, yes, I do know that you can now buy bottles of this sauce at the grocery store, but I already keep the 3 ingredients needed to make our copycat Chick-Fil-A sauce on hand, so why buy another condiment bottle to take up space in my fridge door??

Are we skipping the drive-thru these days? More often than not, thanks to our copycat Air Fryer Chick Fil A nuggets and frozen waffle fries that we pop in the air fryer. This one is also fab with our crispy buttermilk chicken tenders.

What’s in Chick Fil A Sauce:

ingredients for homemade Chick-Fil-A sauce.

We went through the ingredient list on the Chick-Fil-A sauce bottle and it was pretty easy to figure out what was going on…

The main ingredient is soybean oil and there also eggs listed…there’s your mayo!

After that we have sugar, BBQ sauce, and mustard, which brings us to our next 2 ingredients – smoky barbecue sauce and honey mustard!

They also add lemon juice to their sauce, but we didn’t find we needed it since honey mustard has a fair amount of vinegar in it to give the sauce some zip. Feel free to squeeze in a bit of lemon juice if you think it needs it, though!

Substitutions:

If you don’t have honey mustard on hand, feel free to use our honey mustard recipe or just swap in 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of prepared yellow mustard. You may want to squeeze in a bit of lemon juice or add a tiny splash of vinegar, but taste your sauce and see what you think.

Recommended Brands:

We like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, Kraft or Duke’s mayonnaise, and Ken’s Honey Mustard (or homemade) in this recipe.

A nice hickory smoked BBQ sauce also works well!

How to Make Chick-Fil-A Sauce:

Combine: Stir together the mayo, BBQ, and honey mustard.

Serve: No need to wait, just dig right in!

Store: This will last in a sealed jar or bowl for about a week.
