Storing and Tips for this Copycat Recipe:

Store your copycat Chick-Fil-A sauce in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If it separates a bit, give it a stir before serving.
I used lemon juice from pre-juiced lemons, but you can use fresh lemon juice for a stronger flavor.
If you are looking for a healthier alternative, you can also use Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise. It won’t taste the *quite* same, but again, it is a healthier alternative.
We used whatever barbecue sauce brand we had on hand for this easy recipe.

How do I keep this amazing sauce from being runny?

Be sure to shake your yellow mustard well before using so all of the water doesn’t come out before the mustard.

Do you need to use real mayo or will miracle whip work?

I’m sure miracle whip would work, but the taste would be totally different. Mayonnaise is the ingredient needed to make it taste more like the Chick-Fil-A sauce.

Can you buy Chick-Fil-A’s Famous Sauce at the store?

Yes, some grocery stores sell it. We’ve seen it available at Walmart.

Questions & Reviews

Tricia says:

Should it be real mayo or could Miracle Whip be used?

Dayna says:

Just made this because chick fil a forgot to give us our chick fil a sauce! Tasted just like it! Thanks!

Cyd says:

I'm sure miracle whip would work, but the taste would be totally different. Mayonnaise is the ingredient needed to make it taste more like the Chick-Fil-A sauce.

Robin says:

*if* there are leftovers of the sauce, how long should it be stored?

Cyd says:

You can easily store this in an airtight container for a week or so in the refrigerator.

Will says:

Any particular kind of mustard?

Cyd says:

Just regular prepared mustard. It can be French's or store brand. They all work great.

Christine says:

What bbq sauce did you use?

Jeff says:

Needs Worcestershire sause! About two Tablespoons did it for me. But maybe my bbq sauce was too sweet to begin with

Tonja says:

What kind of Bbq sauce

Cyd says:

We use all kinds of bbq sauce. Usually whatever is on sale. KC Masterpiece and Sweet Baby Rays is always a favorite.

Norah says:

Agree with Jeff. I only added 1 Tbsp, but after letting it sit while I prepped the rest of the meal, it mingled in to taste exactly like the packet I had in the fridge!

Adam says:

Attempted this but it came out super runny. Any ideas why? Or what I could change to make it thicker?

Cyd says:

I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. We used Best Foods mayonnaise. If you used a store brand and it was a little on the runny side that could alter the recipe. Also, be sure to shake your mustard well before using so all of the water doesn't come out before the mustard.

Marissa says:

Yellow, Spicy, Dijon mustard?

Cyd says:

Regular prepared mustard.

Dawn F. says:

My family is on its second batch of this sauce and I doubled it! It is great on chicken wraps, my own version of chicken sandwiches, broiled venison, and tonight's entree of bacon wrapped goose! We can not tell the difference. Now I can stop hoarding the little packets. Thanks for a great recipe that actually tastes like the original.
