How to Store Leftover Chick-Fil-A Sauce

Do not attempt to freeze Chick-Fil-A sauce, this will result in separation when thawed and may change the texture of the sauce, making it less than appetizing.

About the Ingredients for Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce

Mayonnaise – Use real full fat mayonnaise for the best flavour. Light mayo works too but it won’t be quite as good. Avoid replacing with dressing, it won’t taste right.

Honey – Adds a touch of sweetness. You can substitute with any 1:1 liquid sweetener of your choice.

Mustard – Just plain yellow mustard. You can substitute with Dijon mustard for a slight kick but this will not taste quite the same as Chick-Fil-a sauce.

BBQ sauce – The kind of kind of barbecue sauce that you use makes all the difference. A sweeter barbecue sauce works best for this recipe – I used Sweet Baby Ray’s original sauce. You can also use ketchup in a pinch, but for the best, most authentic flavour, use Sweet Baby Ray. If you find the sauce is a little too sweet and lacks that tangy flavour, you can fix it with a teaspoon or two of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. If you use a more smoky barbecue sauce then you may want to cut down on the additional spices.

Liquid smoke – You can substitute with an equal amount of chipotle powder or smoked paprika if you don’t have liquid smoke on hand. It will change the flavour slightly.

Paprika – Use smoked paprika. Sweet paprika is OK if that is what you have but for the best flavour use smoked paprika.

Other seasonings – Onion powder, garlic powder, and salt finish off the added seasonings.
