Equipment

Whisk

Ingredients

1/2 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons BBQ Sauce
2 tablespoons Yellow Mustard
2 tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

Add your ingredients to a small bowl. Place the mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard, BBQ sauce, lemon juice, and cider vinegar into a small bowl.
Whisk until smooth. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and adjust to taste to your liking. If it's not sweet enough add more honey, etc.

Notes

Use Yellow Mustard. For this recipe, it's essential to use classic yellow mustard. Avoid using Dijon or any other spicy mustard, as they will alter the intended flavor. Stick to plain, regular yellow mustard for the best results.

Choose a basic BBQ Sauce. Select your preferred brand of regular barbecue sauce. I advise against using honey BBQ or any other overly sweet varieties, as they can make the Chick-fil-A sauce excessively sugary. Carolina BBQ Sauce is a good option because it's vinegar-based and not too sweet.

Get the right consistency. To achieve the right consistency, start with the recommended measurements for each ingredient, and then make small adjustments as needed. If it's too thick, you can thin it with a bit of water.

Storage. Store your homemade Chick-fil-A sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to a week or more, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.

Serve with favorites. Chick-fil-A sauce is incredibly versatile and goes well with a wide range of dishes, from Pretzel Crusted Chicken Tenders and sandwiches to fries and grilled meats. Experiment with different pairings to discover your favorites.
