Chick-fil-A Sauce
Chick-fil-a sauce is as easy to make as mixing 3 ingredients together! It’s the fry sauce almost eveyone falls in love with once they dip their waffle fries into it! Making Chick-fil-a sauce at home is super easy but it surprises me many copycat recipes either call for honey, lemon juice, or dijon mustard when neither of those ingredients are found on the packet of a Chick-fil-a packet!
Furthermore, after observing the ingredient list, I realized most of the ingredients were found in 3 major sauces, which were mayo, bbq sauce, and yellow mustard. The three simple ingredients create a dipping sauce just like the Chick-fil-a packet you’d ask for! And you probably have all the ingredients sitting right in your fridge to make this chicken dipping sauce.
I’m a strong believer that Chain Restaurants got to have it easy to run a large business and to have a long list of ingredients like liquid smoke, honey, dijon mustard, and lemons is just overwhelming, not to mention that they are nowhere to be found on the ingredient list of the packets. Besides, why would you want to go to the extra way if you get all the authentic flavors from 3 simple ingredients?
Ever since I introduced this recipe to the family it has become a staple sauce including my mother-in-law’s home! She loves this dipping sauce too and it couldn’t be any easier! She even makes her own homemade fries just to dip them into this delicious sauce!

What kind of chicken can I use for Homemade Chick-fil-A Sandwiches?
The original Chicken Sandwich from Chick-fil-A uses breaded Chicken breasts. However, thighs or tenders are cuts that can be used for making breaded chicken patties. On the other hand, grocery-store breaded chicken can be a huge shortcut in making sandwiches, but it can be a costly option. Furthermore, If I buy breaded chicken there are usually two kinds I buy in replicating the Chick-fil-A sandwiches. The ones pictured were from a bulk box of chicken fritters and a freezer bag of breaded chicken breasts from Aldi is also another good find.
