Tips!

  • If you keep this sauce in a jar, make sure to use a clean utensil whenever you’re getting some out! Any new bacteria that’s introduced to the sauce will make it spoil quickly.
  • Speaking of jars, make sure whatever container you keep this sauce in is truly airtight to keep it nice and fresh.
  • Measure your ingredients with care. If you have too much or too little of something, it could compromise the overall taste of the sauce.

While this sauce lasts for a good 5 days, it never seems to stay put for over a day or two in my kitchen. It’s just too addictive!

What kind of barbecue sauce should I use?

What is the best kind of mustard for this sauce?

Classic yellow mustard is best! Avoid using Dijon or any kind of spicy mustard for this sauce.

Can I make a vegan version of Chick Fil A sauce?

For a vegan version, use vegan mayo and honey-free barbecue sauce.
