What Does Chick-Fil-A Sauce Taste Like?
Chick-Fil-A sauce is a tangy sauce that tastes like someone spilled barbecue sauce in a vat of creamy honey mustard. The sauce tastes a little sweet, a little tangy, & a little smoky.
🥘 What’s in Chick-Fil-A Sauce?
Homemade Chick-fil-A sauce is a simple sauce made with just a handful of basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.
- Barbecue Sauce – I have made this using Sweet Baby Rays Original barbecue sauce and using Homemade Barbecue Sauce (the homemade sauce has a smokier taste.) If you want to increase the smoky flavor of your sauce, you can add a splash of liquid smoke.
- Honey – You can use any kind of honey for this recipe.
- Mayonnaise – Make sure to use real mayonnaise. I usually use Blue Plate, Hellmann’s original, or Duke’s Mayonnaise.
- Yellow Mustard – I use the regular old Heinz Yellow mustard or store-brand yellow mustard for this recipe.
- Lemon Juice
- Garlic Powder

Making Chick-fil-A sauce at home is so easy to do. Simply add all of your ingredients to a small bowl.

This amazing sauce is the perfect blend of flavors. It’s so good that you might want to make a double batch.
How long does Chick-fil-A sauce have to sit before serving?
Chick-fil-A sauce can be used immediately, or you can let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer to intensify in flavor. It is a delicious sauce that gets even better with time.

Chick-fil-A Sauce is delicious with waffle fries, regular french fries, fried chicken tenders, chicken strips, or chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, onion rings, fried chicken, sweet potato fries, homemade chips, grilled potatoes – seriously, dip everything in it.
We also LOVE to slather it on fried chicken sandwiches. So GOOD.
