Key Ingredients
For exact amounts needed see the recipe card below
Mayonnaise – The mayonnaise makes this creamy and smooth.
Honey – Honey adds sweetness.
Yellow mustard – Prepared mustard adds a tangy flavor. Don’t use spicy mustard or honey mustard, since they will not provide the same taste.
BBQ sauce – The BBQ sauce gives Chick-fil-A sauce its smoky barbecue flavor. It is best to use a basic, original-style barbecue sauce, not a specialty sauce. Don’t use one that is very sweet or spicy if you want an authentic copycat taste.
Lemon juice – A little bit of lemon juice brightens the sauce and makes all the rest of the flavors stand out more. You won’t taste the lemon in the finished sauce, since it is just a flavor enhancer.
