    Chick-fil-A is one of the largest fast food chains in the United States, and their recipes all are highly coveted. My favorite item at Chick-fil-A is their Chick-fil-A sauce and waffle fries; it's the perfect combination. Use this sauce to dip Copycat Chick-fil-A nuggets, french fries, asparagus fries, air fryer fried pickles, Air Fryer Sweet Potato fries, Air Fryer French Fries, or curly fries; or spread it on top of an air fryer hamburger! You just can't go wrong with this delicious sauce!

    Chick-fil-A sauce is the BEST dipping sauce! This copycat recipe is spot on and perfect for dipping nuggets, fries, or topping burgers and sandwiches!

    There are tons of copycat recipes out there for this sauce, but I found putting the basic ingredients together, and then tweaking them a bit to produce the most authentic copycat Chick-fil-A sauce. The best part is, it's likely you already have all the ingredients in your fridge or pantry! It really goes perfectly with thee Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets (Chick-fil-A Copycat). I have already shared some amazing copycat sauces with y'all such as ZAX SAUCE and OUTBACK BLOOM SAUCE AND ONION PETALS!

    How to make Chick-fil-A Sauce:

    **scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

    • Get all the ingredients together - Mayo, honey, mustard, BBQ sauce, and lemon juice - that's it (scroll down for exact measurements)
    sauce contents
    • Whisk everything in a bowl until completely combined and there are no clumps. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides to incorporate all the honey.
    • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (even better over night) to thicken the Chick-fil-A Sauce, and let all the ingredients meld together.
    • Serve with your favorite dippers such as french fries, air fryer green bean fries, Zesty Chicken Tenders, or Walnut Honey Mustard Chicken Strips.

    How to store Chick-fil-A Sauce:

    • Pour sauce into a mason jar or salad dressing dressing bottle where the top can be sealed. Keep in refrigerator.
    • For the freshest tasting sauce, use within 14 days of making.

    How to lighten up Chick-fil-A Sauce:

    While this sauce is delicious, it is not diet friendly. To decrease calories and fat, replace whole fat mayonnaise for low fat mayonnaise and you won't be able to taste a difference. This will cut the calories in half (37 calories instead of 76 calories) and reduce the fat content drastically (2g fat compared to 7g fat).

      This CFA sauce came out SPOT ON! I couldn't believe it! I always ask for 10 sides of CFA sauce when I go through the drive-through for my fries and chicken nuggets, but now I can use this at home! Have you seen the new nuggets that costco sells that are a perfect dupe for CFA nuggets? I am going to buy those again and then mix with this sauce! SOOOOOOO GOOD! THANK YOU!

      This is a wonderful tasting sauce. It's hard for me to believe I never tried it until a couple of years ago. Now I'm hooked. Walmart sells a chicken dipping sauce which is just like the original sauce. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

        I have tried that one and it is tasty! It is SO CHEAP to make it yourself at home though, especially without all the added preservatives!
