I was skeptical at first. I look up quite a few knock off recipes and there’s almost always something “off” about them that makes them not quite right. But, this sauce is BANGING! It is almost PERFECT. it tastes just like chick-fil-a sauce, the only thing wrong is the color but who cares? They probably add dyes to theirs. This is lovely to have during lockdown. Thank you!Reply

SO excited to see this recipe!! I love chick-fil-a sauce so much, but I rarely want to leave my house and face the long lines (or fork out the cash for a whole meal, penny pinching in my household means rarely eating out) so I’m glad I can make this at home. It’s almost dangerous because I plan to put this on literally everything haha. Thank you!!Reply

I was wondering if you have a suggestion on what bbq sauce to use? I have like 5 different one in my fridge at any given moment. Hickory, sweet and spicy, texas style?
Thanks!

Hi Bethany, any type will do, but personally, I prefer sweet and spicy. Texas Style would also be good!
