CHICK-FIL-A-SAUCE (COPYCAT RECIPE) — If you love Chick-fil-A Sauce, you’ve got to try making it at home. It’s so easy, and is great for dipping, as a sandwich spread, and more.
I love Chick-fil-A sauce! I’d buy it by the gallon if I could. But instead I’ve started making Copycat Chick-fil-A Sauce at home.
I always ask for extra sauce when I eat at Chick-fil-A. My family laughs at me because I always have a bunch of those little sauce packets in the refrigerator. And sometimes I even have a few in my purse.
A girl’s got to be prepared, right?
As much as I like Chick-fil-A–and their signature sauce–my youngest loves them even more. I’m pretty sure he’d eat there every day if I’d let him.
But since that’s not really an option, he was more than happy to help me come up with a copycat recipe for their famous sauce that we could whip up at home.
The best part is, this simple sauce takes just a few minutes to make, and uses common pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand. So there’s no reason not to give this recipe a try!
We love this sauce for dipping chicken (of course) and French fries. But it also makes a great spread for sandwiches (especially ham and cheese) and hamburgers.
It’s even good on pork chops, and with potato chips. Honestly, I’d be happy dipping almost anything in Chick-fil-A sauce. So until they start selling it in bulk, I’m going to keep making it at home.
Just keep this in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it should stay good for a week or more.
My family is pretty happy I’ve figured out how to make Chick-Fil-A sauce at home. Now I’m not the weird mom who carries around a bunch little sauce packets. Although I think it’s a perfectly normal thing to do!
Be sure to save this recipe for Chick-fil-A Sauce to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

What brand and flavor of bbq sauce was used – there are a million out there and if it is not the right one, it won’t be the same. TIA
