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)
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Woo Hoo! LOVE!
Rhonda wright
We love this CFA Comcast sauce! Tastes just the same!
Greg
What brand of BBQ sauce did you use?
Thanks
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Sweet Baby Ray's - anything smokey is best 🙂
Andrea
Which Sweet Baby Rays do you use or do you just use the original sauce?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Original.
Jen
I made this sauce, along with a copycat recipe for Chick-fil-a nuggets I found online, and my whole family thought it was really from Chick-fil-a! Tastes exactly the same! Thanks for the great recipe, will definitely be making this again!

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 🙂
Jen
Do you know what brand of BBQ sauce you used? I bet it makes a big difference and i want to get it right!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Anything "smokey" we use Sweet Baby Rays because it is often free or Kraft.
Becca
I cannot wait to try this recipe out this weekend. I'm looking forward to this.
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Enjoy! Here is the nugget recipe too - https://www.stockpilingmoms.com/2013/05/copycat-chick-fil-a-nuggets/
Allison
Perfect clone of Chick-fil-A Sauce! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Monica
I just made this and I LOVE IT!! Heaven in my mouth! Can't wait to try the nuggets recipe next!
Jared
What kind of mustard is “prepared mustard”
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Mustard in a bottle (not the dry spice)
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
I am a Chick-fil-A Sauce fan and this recipe is as close to the real thing as there is!
Allyson
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).
Katie
I made this and it tasted too honey for me. It worked really well except for the honey. I'll probably just cut down on the honey next time.
Stephanie
Love this recipe! It is perfect!
kathy
the Polynesian sauce is the best and with much research Marzetti Honey French is the what they use I got mine at Krogers...
not many stores carry it but its in the cold salad dressing area
love it infact I need to get more lol
this is a good recipe only thing I do is soak in pickle juice

I must not have used a smokey bbq sauce because I was quite disappointed with the way it turned out. I used cowtown bbq sauce, I'll have to try another kind next time.
Crystal
Very Good! Tastes just like the real deal...My family loves it and my husband ate about 30 nuggets! Thank you find this recipe!
Andrea (Quest for Delish)
I made this tonight. It was darker than your but maybe I used more bbq sauce and not enough mayo. However it was very tasty and my family just loved it.
Linda Smith
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!!
Ashley
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! 🙂
Katie
Thanks it was really good!!! 🙂
Candace
I just discovered Chick-fil-a sauce. We just got the restaurant last year. Thank you for this recipe! I love that sauce
Lexi
How long do you think this would last in the fridge or freezer?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
A week in the fridge.
Joni
What kind of mustard? Yellow, brown...? P.S. I love your sight! I've pinned half of it 🙂
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yellow 🙂 Thanks!
Etnia Veloz
What kind of mustard did you use? I've never heard of prepared mustard so I don't know which one to buy! D;TIA
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
French's - Regular Mustard.
MJ Logan
Amazing! I recently had my first taste of Chick-Fil-A this summer and currently live where it's not available for me to eat. The sauce is amazing with fries and nuggets. I made this recipe and its delicious!!! 10/10 will make again and again.
Amy
I found your recipe and it was close to the Chick-fil-A sauce I remember. Thank you!!!
April
Does it have to be mayo, or is miracle whip okay to use?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It needs to be mayo for the exact flavor.
Jennifer Riley
Any certain brand of Mayo?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
We use Hellman's mayo.
Amber
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful recipe!! My whole family loves it. It is perfect and tastes just like it!! It never ceases to amaze us!! You are awesome!!!
Joe
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.
Johnathan Jacobo
I've made it multiple times and love it!
KP
This was spot on. We used it for homemade soft pretzel bites (we're not big cheese sauce fans) and it tasted like the real stuff!
Lizardk75
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!!!
Callan
Stubbs BBQ sauce
Rebecca Martin
Has anyone tried freezing this sauce?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
We have not.
Deidra
Whatever kind of Mayo did you use real mayo or miracle whip?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Mayonnaise (Helmanns)
Tracy Lark
Is prepared mustard just regular mustard, like French's?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
Yes!
Rook
Is it possible this tastes better than the original sauce from Chick-fil-a? I didn't have smokey BBQ sauce, so I used regular BBQ sauce and added about 2 tsp of smoked paprika...I cannot believe how amazing this sauce is...thank you to the author!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
It is possible 🙂
Hannah Daltorio
Wow, great sauce!! I looked it up because there are no Chick-fil-a's where I live (Alaska) and I was really craving this. It is awesome and I will definitely be making again!
Kadi
I tried this recipe and it came out not as bright and it didn’t quite taste right either. What could I have done wrong. What brands of ingredients should I be using? Thanks.
Lynn
Hi ... Just making sure ... it says 2 TEAspoons of Mustard? Not TABLEspoons? Just checking, because it just sounds way out of proportion with the the rest of the ingredients.
Judi S.
Me and my family love CFA sauce and I just want to thank you for sharing this recipe!
God bless!
Daniel
Made this today and YES it does taste like the chick fil a sauce only fresher and better. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Melissa Jennings
Yay! This Copy Cat Chick-fil-A Sauce is our favorite too!
Hannah R
We love this sauce!
