Zaxby's sauce is extremely popular in the South, as Zaxby's is everywhere. I had never heard of Zaxby's until I moved to Georgia, because they didn't have any locations in any of the other places I've lived. Once you try it, you will never go back to other sauces - it's delicious on EVERYTHING!

I originally posted this recipe in 2013 (wow 5 years ago!), but am updating it now (Oct. 2018) with some more valuable information. With nearly 1 million pins on Pinterest, this Copycat Zaby's Sauce is a sure-fire hit recipe!

Serve Zax Sauce with Air Fryer Frozen French Fries, Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries, Air Fryer Homemade French Fries, Air Fryer Fish or Air Fryer Tater Tots!

How to make Copycat Zaxby's Sauce:

**Scroll down for full ingredient list and directions**

  • Mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce and continue to mix. Add a layer of black pepper to the top of the sauce (about 1 tsp) and mix again. Repeat the black pepper and mix again.
  • Place the Zaxby's sauce into the fridge and allow to meld for at least 2 hours. 

What is Zaxby's Sauce?

  • Zaxby's sauce is a creamy blend of zesty spices whose tangy taste was custom-made for Zaxby's delicious Chicken Fingerz. Come to find out the sauce is great with fries as well.
  • Also know as Fry Sauce in Utah, sometimes called Pink Sauce, and also resembling Raising Canes Sauce from a Baton Rouge chain called Raising Canes, these versions are practically the same, just a different name.

How to store Zaxby's sauce, and how long it lasts:

  • Store Zaxby's sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator. 
  • The sauce should last at least 2 weeks, but up to a month in the fridge- doubtful it ill last that long though!
