Chick-fil-A sauce is commonly made with a combination of mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, and barbecue sauce. There are slightly different variations, but the core ingredients typically include these for a sweet, tangy, and smoky flavor. Here is a simple recipe to make Chick-fil-A sauce at home:
Basic Chick-fil-A Sauce Recipe
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise (full-fat preferred for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup honey BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s is commonly recommended)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for brightness
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Adjust honey or mustard quantities to taste if desired.
- Chill the sauce in the refrigerator or use immediately.
- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
This sauce has a nice balance of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors similar to the original Chick-fil-A sauce served at the restaurant.
