This Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce recipe will knock your socks off! Seriously, you won’t even know you’re not actually eating at Chick-Fil-A!

I don’t eat at Chick-Fil-A much anymore but I love making copycat recipes for some of my favorites on the menu. Their chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and spicy chicken sandwich are some of my favorites.

So if you’ve been wondering how to make Chick-Fil-A Sauce, you’re going to love this recipe!

I could eat this stuff by the spoonful, it’s addicting! I’ve always wondered what ingredients made up this magical sauce, so I finally read the label on my sauce packet last time I was there to get an idea.

After a couple test rounds, I think I finally nailed it. This copycat recipe tastes just like the real thing!

Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce Recipe

Everyone has their go-to sauce, and this is mine! I’d put it on just about anything.

I’m that girl at the drive-thru (after waiting 30+ minutes) who’s begging for extra, extra sauce. Yes, you read that correctly—I need double extra sauce!

Well, I’m excited to let you know that you won’t have to wait in the long lines at the drive-thru anymore because you can make your favorite sauce at home!

It’s probably healthier to make it at home, too…but don’t quote me on that!

Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce Ingredients

The best Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sauce is made up of only SIX ingredients. You might find that surprising, but it’s true!

  • BBQ sauce
  • Honey mustard
  • Ranch dressing
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion Powder

How To Make Chick-Fil-A Sauce

This delicious dipping sauce for chicken (or fries!) is so easy to make. Just combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and serve!

So simple, right? It takes me less than 5 minutes to put together. I

When it comes to dipping sauces, I love having options. So I’ll often put the BBQ sauce, honey mustard, and ranch dressing on the table with the Chick-Fil-A Copycat Sauce so I can have four sauces to choose from!

It reminds me of my middle school days when kids would put ketchup and mayo on their lunch trays and then combine them in the middle.

Recipe Tips

You can enjoy this sauce according to the recipe, or you can change things up to make it your own.

  • Give it some heat: Add a little hot sauce (this is my fav) to kick it up a notch. Or try a honey barbecue sauce to make it a little sweeter.
  • Double the recipe: This is a great recipe for a crowd.  Simply increase the ingredients proportionately and store in an airtight container.
  • Make it smokey: If you like that Smokey flavor try adding some liquid smoke to the sauce or using a smokey BBQ sauce.

What To Dip In Chick-Fil-A Sauce

Besides the best Chick-Fil-A Copycat Chicken Tenders, there are so many things you can dip in this delicious sauce. I’ve even seen people put it on salads. Here’s a few other options:

  • Crispy Air Fryer Wings
  • Homemade French Fries
  • Sweet Potato Fries
  • Old Bay Wings

Questions You Might Have About This Recipe

Can You Buy Chick-Fil-A Sauce?

I prefer to make my own at home, but you can purchase it online. They’re a little pricy and take a bit to ship but would be a good solution if you really didn’t feel like making it yourself.

How Long Can I Keep It In The Fridge?

You can store your homemade sauce in the fridge for up to one week. I keep mine in mason jars or weck jars because they have tight fitting lids.

What 3 sauces are in chick-fil-a sauce?

It’s just a mixture of honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can whip up a quick batch any time you’re craving it!

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, I recommend making it about a day in advance to help the flavors to marry and blend so it tastes more cohesive.

Can I Freeze Chick Fil A Sauce?

I do not suggest freezing this sauce. It’s best when made fresh, or a day in advance!

What is the most popular Chick-Fil-A sauce?

Polynesian Sauce and Chick-Fil-A Sauce are the most popular, and also my favorites!

More condiments you might like

I’m a total believer of “everything tastes better with sauce”. I always bring some sort of dipping sauce or dressing to the table when I sit down to eat. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Cilantro Lime Crema
  • 5 Minute Garlic Butter Sauce
  • Cilantro Lime Tahini Sauce
  • Ranchero Sauce

    This sauce is so good with so many things! Love your suggestion to add a little liquid smoke to add some smokiness to the sauce.
