Ingredients
Homemade Chick-fil-A Sauce
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayo, honey, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, barbecue sauce, and lemon juice.
- Add seasonings. Sprinkle in the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk until smooth. Mix thoroughly until everything is creamy and well combined.
- Taste and adjust. Add a little more honey for sweetness, mustard, and tanginess.
- Serve or refrigerate. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Barbecue sauce matters. We originally substituted ketchup when we were out of barbecue sauce, but my family preferred the authentic flavor of the smoky BBQ version.
- Naturally gluten-free ingredients: Check the labels on your barbecue sauce, mustard, and mayo to ensure their gluten-free if needed.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days, provided the ingredients are fresh.
