Because almost all food items are shipped in by boat or airplane, and because the island we live on is only about 48 square miles, our access to things I’d consider ‘comfort food’ (and even pantry staples) is limited at best!
Jord came up with a copycat Chick Fil A sauce recipe awhile back that has become one of our ‘taste of home’ go-to’s. Since it’s yummy paired with just about everything (including chicken, and also fish… and rice… even veggies), I thought I’d share the recipe here.
1 c mayonaise
1/4 c mustard
3 Tbs honey
1/3 c barbeque sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp salt
Whisk together and serve as dipping sauce with fondue, chicken, as a spread on sandwiches, etc. Our favorite pairing (for sure!) is with the lime and coconut crusted chicken– YUM!

July 22, 2015 at 9:19 amThis is absolutely amazing!! However chickfila sauce and honey roasted barbecue are two different sauces!

July 27, 2015 at 6:17 amMerrideth- you know your chick fil a sauces. You know how they’re similar? This one is probably closest to actual chick fil a sauce (the descriptors or just there for those not quite so acquainted with chick fil a). 😉

September 3, 2015 at 10:08 amWhat kind of BBQ sauce did you use?
Kirstin says
September 10, 2015 at 11:47 amHey Quincy- I honestly don’t remember. Nothing special, just bottled BBQ sauce. Sorry that’s not more specific. 😉

June 19, 2016 at 9:53 pmIf we had a chickfila close by, we’d make multiple trips. 😉 But this will do in a pinch… 😉

We left the USA two years ago and really miss Chick Fil A. I have made the chicken with another recipe and found the crinkle cut chips at Costco and your sauce is the finishing touch!

November 11, 2016 at 12:30 pmFiona, LOVE this. It’s funny how much being able to make the food you love helps with homesickness, right???

April 23, 2017 at 2:28 pmSpot on! As a Southern, raised on Chik fi la, I’m addicted to these sauces. I added a tablespoon of hot mustard to your mix for a bit more kick.
Kirstin says
May 2, 2017 at 2:24 pmI love this Elizabeth! I am back in the land of ChickFilA (so lucky) and don’t make my own nearly as often anymore, but I love your suggestion of adding hot mustard! 😉
