Zaxbys Sauce

If you’re a Zaxby’s fan, you will probably agree that one of the best chicken wing flavors off the Zaxby’s menu is the Honey Mustard Sauce! In fact, it’s such an awesome sauce for Fingerz & Wings that they have the Hot Honey Mustard Sauce available too!

Needless to say, Zaxby’s Chicken is really good! My favorite is the Zaxby’s Club Sandwich or boneless wings tossed in their famous Honey mustard sauce.

And if you think Zaxby’s chicken fingers and buffalo wings are like any fried chicken restaurant, it’s the wing flavors that stand out from regular chicken fingers. You can pack these homemade boneless wings into sandwiches or serve plain with a slice of texas toast for a family meal the whole family will love!

Honey Mustard Sauce

This Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe was created after my brother-in-law left a box of Zaxby’s boneless wings in the fridge. So, I tried the sauce and the first thing that struck me was the ranch flavor and the yellow mustard. I decided it was only appropriate to add honey then go from there.

As a result, it’s been claimed a spot-on copycat from my taste-testers, and believe me one of them is a Zaxby’s connoisseur! A Honey mustard sauce recipe can be used as a dipping sauce, chicken wing sauce, or salad dressing.

It’s best with fried foods like French Fries and crispy chicken sandwiches!

Honey Mustard Sauce vs Hot Honey Mustard Sauce

The main difference between both honey mustard sauces is that the hot honey mustard sauce has cayenne pepper for additional spice. Whereas, regular honey mustard sauce is more of a yellow hue due to the lack of ground cayenne.

I do not find the Hot Honey Mustard Sauce to be too spicy. In fact, it is rated on the wimpy side of its signature sauces. Both honey mustard sauces are available at Zaxby’s near me.

Zaxby’s sells their signature sauces for $.25 apiece.

FAQ

This easy homemade honey mustard sauce only needs 4 ingredients! My homemade honey mustard sauce recipe is made from simple pantry ingredients!

Ingredients: 

  • Ranch Dressing- I used Hidden Valley bottled ranch dressing.
  • Prepared Yellow Mustard- it is important to use the original yellow mustard, not dijon!
