Ingredients

Mayonnaise: To make this sauce, you will need mayonnaise. You can use light or regular mayo for this dip.

Honey: If you don’t have honey in the cabinet, pick up a bottle for this recipe.

Barbeque Sauce: For this copycat sauce, you can use your favorite BBQ sauce, but a smoky BBQ sauce will give it a more authentic flavor.

Seasoning: Smoked paprika is a great addition to this sauce if your BBQ sauce isn’t smoky. Add a few drops of liquid smoke if you don’t have smoked paprika and need that smoky flavor. Be careful, though; a little goes a long way!

Mustard: Grab either Dijon or regular yellow mustard in this recipe.

Lemon Juice: This dipping sauce also needs bottled or freshly squeezed lemon juice.

How to Make Copycat Chick fil A Sauce

STEP ONE: Add the mayo, honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika (or liquid smoke), mustard, and lemon juice to a bowl.

STEP TWO: Whisk the condiments and seasoning well to mix. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. You can use the sauce right away if you like, I think the flavor gets better if you let it rest for a bit though.

STEP THREE: Remove the sauce from the fridge and serve with all of your favorite foods!

Tips for Success

• Using a whisk to mix the ingredients is much easier than using a spoon and is recommended.
• Mix the sauce in a bowl that has a lid to make chilling and storing the sauce easier.
• If your BBQ sauce is pretty smoky or has the perfect level of smoke for you, feel free to leave out the smoked paprika or liquid smoke.
• Store leftover sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
