This copycat Chick-fil-A sauce is right up there with yum yum sauce in our home, as an addictive sauce for dipping anything and everything. It’s sweet, it’s tangy, a little citrusy, and it’s perfectly creamy. There’s no better accompaniment to waffle fries or chicken nuggets!
What is Chick-fil-A Sauce?
Chick-fil-A sauce is, quite honestly, the main reason most people go to Chick-fil-A. It’s their signature sauce that’s a bit of a cross between a smoky barbecue sauce and honey-mustard, with a light citrus undertone. It’s perfect for dipping chicken fingers, fries, and more.
Helpful Tips & Variations
- Mayonnaise. This makes the sauce rich and creamy. You could sub with sour cream or Greek yogurt, but it would give it a completely different flavor and not a true copycat recipe.
- Barbecue sauce. You can use whatever barbecue sauce is your favorite. Note that this dipping sauce does typically have a bit of a smoky flavor so I don’t recommend grabbing any honey or sweet barbecue sauce. If your sauce doesn’t have that hint of smoke (in case your bbq sauce is sweeter rather than smoky) include a splash of liquid smoke.
- Honey. This adds a hint of sweetness. Agave could also be used, if necessary.
- Mustard. Both dijon and yellow mustard are used in this recipe.
- Lemon juice. This can be substituted with apple cider vinegar, if that’s what you have on hand.

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
