This Homemade Chick-fil-A Sauce is the clean version of that cult favorite. It’s creamy, flavorful, and made with just 5 simple pantry ingredients. No weird oils, no additives, and no waiting in the drive-thru.

Perfect for dipping baked nuggets, sweet potato fries, burgers, wraps — basically anything you want to make taste amazing.

 

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayo for a classic version)

  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1 tbsp barbecue sauce (look for low-sugar or clean label)

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Pinch of paprika (optional, for color)

 

Instructions:

  1. Mix it up
    In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.

  2. Taste and adjust
    Add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang, depending on your taste.

  3. Serve or store
    Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Dairy-free version: Use avocado oil mayo or a plant-based yogurt.

  • Make it spicier: Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.

  • Meal prep tip: Double or triple the batch and keep it ready for the week — kids love it!

  • BBQ swap idea: Use smoked paprika and a drizzle of maple syrup if you’re out of BBQ sauce.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Chick-fil-A Sauce hits every craveable note — creamy, smoky, tangy, and just sweet enough. It’s the easiest way to elevate any meal and tastes even better when you know what’s in it.
