What I love About this Chick Fil A Sauce
- Quick: With simple pantry ingredients and 5 minutes of time this sauce is fast to whip together at the last minute.
- Budget Friendly: We can get the same taste without having to spend money on take out. Our kids are big fans of our homemade chick fil a nuggets also!
- Adaptable: Since we’re making a homemade sauce, this allows us to customize and make it more to our liking, or make a larger batch to ensure we don’t run out.
Ingredients:
Notes on some ingredients:
- Honey: this adds a hint of sweetness, the color of your honey will determine the coloring of your sauce.
- Dijon/Yellow Mustard: both are used in this recipe.
- Lemon: can be substituted with apple cider vinegar.
- BBQ Sauce: use your favorite, a great option is Sweet Baby Rays.
How to make (step-by-step):
- Step 1: combine the ingredients, add all ingredients to a bowl and stir or whisk together until well combined.
- Step 2: chill, let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
Expert Tips:
- Don’t grab a flavored, extra sweet BBQ sauce. Go with an Original flavor/style. This allows you to control the sweetness with the honey in the recipe.
- Make a double batch so that you can keep some leftovers in the fridge.
- If you want a smokier flavor try adding a drop of some liquid smoke in the recipe.
Storage Information
Keep in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 3-4 days. Whisk back together if needed before serving.

Need recipe for Polynesian Sauce!
I’ll have to start work on that one!
OHHHH MY GOODNESS! I almost at the entire batch of this! It tastes EXACTLY like Chick-fil-A Sauce and even though I tweaked a few things to my taste and diet (I’m vegan so i used vegan mayo and im not a fan of regular dijon so i used honey dijon and because of that i only used 1 tbs of honey). Thank you so much for this ??
That’s awesome Brittany! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing ๐
