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 chicken tenders and enjoy them with a tasty sauce whenever we want.

- yellow mustard - I used the regular old Heinz Yellow mustard
- lemon juice
- garlic powder

🥫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.
📝 Tips
- Make your sauce a little while before you plan on serving it - the longer it sits, the better the flavor is.
