Chick-fil-A sauce

RRP

Weird to say this I suppose, but today was the first time we ever received any of their “sauce”

I can read the jumble of ingredients disclosed on the package but does anybody have a RELIABLE knockoff recipe?

That sauce is GREAT!

This recipe that I make as a chicken dipping sauce is somewhat similar to the type that is commonly served in chicken restaurants. It is a very loose interpretation.

1/2 Cup mayonnaise
1/4 Cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper

This is a good starting point- feel free to modify to your liking. If you do manage to make it into something awesome, please post how you modified the base recipe.

I think the Southern Living recipe is a little more interesting than the original recipe I posted, and will likely yield a better sauce.

A google search reveals many variations.

I need to try the Chick Fil A sauce again. I missed the BBQ sauce flavor that the copy cat versions contain.

The original contains special holy water and you will not duplicate the taste without having it.

Weird, I've been eating at Chick-Fil-A since I was a kid and didn't know they had a signature sauce. I always order the Polynesian or honey mustard though...

It's relatively new, Chick-Fil_A released the new sauce when Zaxby's became popular with their similar sauce.

Whatever is in it, it goes over really well in the South, sometimes referred to as the Bible Belt.

If it’s like Cane’s or anything similar. Equal parts mayo/ketchup. Whatever blend of season-all you prefer. We coonasses also use it for a dip for boiled crawfish 


Edit:
just saw the “hacked recipe”, nothing like dip from Raisin Canes

Apparently you can buy it by the pint if you live in Florida.

It's a great finishing sauce on pork ribs...

Same exact sauce, according to my nephew, who has managed a chic fil a for many years.

hmmm! Isn't THAT interesting?!!! Thanks!

Now my next step will probably be to buy an air fryer and then buy some of this "cheap" sauce! Strange how things work. huh? LOL

Found the Chik-Fil-A and Polynesian sauce at Publix in the spring, they go for $3.49. Been a staple in our fridge ever since.

Also, I believe you can buy it at Chik-Fil-A stores as well for $2 a pop.

Here's a good copycat recipe for Chick-Fil-A sandwich and sauce.  I've made them once and they're very good!

Somewhere off-topic, but I finally tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich last week. Blows Chik-Fil-A away imo.

Still haven't had it. With all I've seen from 2020 so far, I don't need God's wrath upon me too for turning my back on the Lord's chicken.

Don’t really have one around where we live, was paying a visit and drove by it so finally pulled the trigger. 

I will say, the customer service at this particular branch was polar opposite of Chik-fil-a lol

My experience as well. Didn't expect the same level of customer service, but bad enough to not go back, even for a slightly better product.

Agreed. I pulled up to the box to order and was reading the menu as it was my first time there. Got a raised voice verifying the drinks to where who I assumed was the manager had to take over. Not only did they get the drink order wrong but they missed an item I requested twice...

Damn good sandwich though!

The Popeye's was closed at the leper colony on Saturday, @JohnInCarolina

Chick-Fil-A could make a living just training other fast food restaurants how customer experience should look like, regardless of your opinion  on their products and social positions.

I went to a Chik-fil-A at a mall or something and bought a chicken sammich and my recollection of the event was basically GOD's Voice saying:  IT'S PRETTY GOOD, BUT PEOPLE WILL MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT BECAUSE I AM GOD.

I just ate my sammich and left.  All the power to the power.
