The Real Reason Chick-fil-A Sauce Is So Addicting

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FSU chapter.

Have you ever wondered why Chick-fil-A sauce is soooo good? Or why you can never just get one packet of Chick-fil-A sauce?  Or why it somehow tastes like BBQ and honey mustard sauce all in one? I have answers for you. Chick-fil-A came out with their namesake sauce in 2014, and it’s been a hit ever since. Chick-fil-A’s very own blog describes it has the sauce with the most class. To all my classy Chick-fil-A saucers, here’s what makes your sauce great. 

First, The Not-So-Secret Ingredients 

After doing some research I found out what’s in Chick-fil-A’s famous sauce. It actually wasn’t that hard to find. Chick-fil-A has all of their nutritional information on their website. The sauce is basically a mixture of BBQ sauce and mustard, but the game changer is egg yolk. The sauce gets its sweetness from sugar and its kick from vinegar and lemon juice. 

Second, The Nutritional Information 

Sorry to do it to you guys, but all good things come at a cost. Chick-fil-A sauce is probably so good because it has 170mg of sodium and 13 grams of fat. But you know you’re already eating Chick-fil-A, so what do you have to lose? What’s an extra 140 calories?

Actually, Chick-fil-A has been trying to make their food healthier on the DL, but keeps it under wraps for fear customers will taste a difference. Never fear, though, I can still taste all of Chick-fil-A’s fatty goodness.

Finally, The Chick-fil-A sauce Song 

You know Chick-fil-A sauce has to be good if it inspired this parody to the Florida Georgia Line song Cruise. Chick-fil-A sauce has inspired so many, from copycat recipes to the creation of its very own song. If you’ve had Chick-fil-A sauce, now you know what makes it great. If you haven’t, be adventurous and try the legendary sauce.
