      I mix 1/2 c. Ken's Honey Mustard dressing, 1 T Smokey BBQ sauce, and just a little prepared horseradish- delish! (And 'dead-on' according to my CFA sauce addicted son)

      I have tried a couple of the chick fil a sauce recipes from pinterest, and this one tastes the most like the real thing. It really is just like it. I also used one of the chic fil a chicken tender recipes from interest and it was great! I think my boyfriend really liked it too 🙂

      I love this recipe!! It tastes just like the sauce at chic fil a!! I didn't know about the sauce at the restaurant until and employee told me about it and it is definitely my favorite. When I make this I use Kraft BBQ sauce. I make nuggets at least once a week now just so I can use this sauce. I have even put it on tacos and it was great (gives tacos a taste similar to Pancho's sauce).

      I just made this and it is seriously close the real thing. I played with a bit by adding another teaspoon of mustard and a small splash of Liquid Smoke seasoning. I'm currently marinating some chicken in it.... gonna be awesome. Thanks for the great recipe!!

      I just made this, and without saying what it was, gave it to my 5 year old with his lunch. He said, "Chic-fila sauce!! My favorite!!" Score one for Mom! Hahaha! Thank you so much for sharing! I used Garland Jack's Secret Six barbeque sauce because it doesn't have high-fructose corn syrup. We love Chic-fila sauce but try to avoid high-fructose corn syrup whenever we can, so this sauce is a definite win! 🙂

      I just had a 64 count chicken bites from Chic fil-a. We don't have one around here so we have to buy a catering size to bring home to our family when we go to one. Haha. Yes we love it that much. I can't wait to try this recipe. My favorite though is the roasted honey barbecue. If anyone can come up with a recipe for that I would greatly appreciate it.

      I tried this recipe with exact measurements and it came out perfect! My family could not tell the difference at all. Since then I've gotten lazy with the measurements and just wing it without ,measuring spoons. I'm not a gourmet chef so I know my measurements are probably way off and it still tastes delish every time! So glad to find this recipe. Thank you!!!
