The closest dupe to the Chick-fil-A Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce! This recipe is the copycat honey roasted BBQ sauce that comes in the packets when you buy the Grilled Chicken Sandwich from Chick-fil-A. It has a sweet and smoky barbeque flavor that pairs perfectly with these Homemade Multi-Grain Buns!
I copycat a lot of Restaurant Sauces! Some of my favorites are the original Chick-fil-A Sauce, Zaxby’s Honey Mustard Sauce, and the Subway Chipotle Southwest Sauce!
The best part about making homemade sauces is that you can use Homemade Mayonnaise or Canned BBQ Sauce as the base, free from preservatives! My mayonnaise and BBQ sauce recipe are perfect dupes for the Hellman’s and store-bought BBQ Sauce! Avoid using specialty flavored mayos or BBQ sauce from the store, instead use the Classic versions so that the flavor doesn’t change.
What is Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce?
You might be wondering what is the difference between Chick-fil-A sauce and Honey Roasted BBQ. After all, they’re both very similar at the Chick-fil-A Restaurant! The main difference between the two is that honey-roasted BBQ is darker and smoky in flavor than the original dipping sauce. Whereas Chick-fil-A sauce is sweet, has more notes of mustard, and doesn’t contain honey.
Now that we know the difference it’s time to make Honey Roasted BBQ sauce for dipping your French fries, sandwiches, and chicken nuggets. Either sauce can be interchangeable but I do prefer the less sweet honey-roasted BBQ sauce. This honey mustard sauce goes perfectly with crispy chicken or over anything grilled! Its creamy tangy and sweet notes of honey make it incredibly delicious!
Ingredients:
- Mayonnaise
- Yellow Mustard
- Honey
- BBQ sauce
- Sugar to balance out the bold flavors

Q&A
Is Chick-fil-A Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce Gluten-Free?
Yes, homemade honey-roasted BBQ sauce is gluten-free, just be sure to check the bottle of your BBQ sauce to ensure it doesn’t have flour.
Tips:
- Don’t use Miracle Whip or salad dressing, those tend to be sweeter than regular mayonnaise.
- If you will be using store-bought sauces as the base then use Hellman’s mayo and sweet Baby Rays or Aldi Texas-style BBQ sauce.
- Store the sauce in a squeeze bottle for optimal freshness.
- I either use the French’s prepared yellow mustard or the Aldi brand.
- You can use organic cane sugar as a healthier option.
- Lightly grease the measuring spoon when measuring the honey so that it comes off easier.
