Chick-fil-A sauce is a happy marriage of honey mustard and barbecue sauce. It is sweet, tangy, and is a perfect dipping sauce for french fries and chicken.
If you are anything like us, you always crave Chick-fil-A on a Sunday when they are closed. With this recipe, we can make homemade crispy chicken tenders and enjoy them with a tasty sauce whenever we want.

🥘 Ingredient Notes
- Barbecue Sauce - I have made this using Sweet Baby Rays Original barbecue sauce and using Homemade Barbecue Sauce.
- Honey - I used wildflower honey as it is a more mild-tasting honey
- Mayonnaise - I used Hellmann's original, but have also made this with Duke's and Blue Plate
- Yellow Mustard - I used the regular old Heinz Yellow mustard
- Lemon Juice
- Garlic Powder
🥣 How to Make It
Making Chick-fil-A sauce at home is so easy to do. Simply put all of your ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let the flavors meld together for about 30 minutes, then serve!
🍳 Serving Suggestions & Uses

🥫 Storage/Shelf Life/Reheating
Copycat Chick-fil-A sauce has the same shelf life as most homemade sauces. It needs to be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container - I like to use a wide-mouth mason jar - and it should be used within 5 - 7 days.
✏️ Helpful Tips
- Make your sauce a little while before you plan on serving it - the longer it sits, the better the flavor is.
