If you’ve never been to Raising Cane’s, you’re missing out big time. This fast food restaurant is known for its crispy fried chicken fingers, buttery garlic Texas Toast, crinkle-cut fries, and—best of all—its tangy, rich Cane’s sauce. Raising Cane’s sauce is arguably the main reason anyone is utterly obsessed with the establishment, so what if I told you you could make the exact same sauce at home? Lucky for you, a fired Raising Cane’s employee revealed the famous secret sauce recipe on Twitter/X, so you’ll never have to eat a plain old chicken tender again.

Fans and employees of the fast food joint on “Caniacs” Reddit have deduced that there’s nothing on the market quite like Raising Cane’s iconic sauce, which still hasn’t been manufactured for big box grocery stores (unlike their rival Chick-Fil-A sauce, which is now sold in bottles). Here’s how to make Raising Cane’s sauce at home.

What ingredients are in Raising Cane’s Sauce?

Believe it or not, you probably already have everything you need in your dorm or apartment to make this brilliant, zingy condiment. This sauce comes together with a few key pantry ingredients and for a significantly smaller price point than a Caniac Combo. Here’s everything you’ll need.

– Ketchup

– Mayonnaise

– Garlic Salt

– Worcestershire Sauce

– Black Pepper

Why should I make Raising Cane’s sauce at home?

This homemade recipe means you’re free from the sadness of still having two more chicken tenders and a handful of fries, but an empty container of Cane’s sauce. (We’ve all been there, right?) And don’t just use it for chicken fingers. Top your cheeseburgers with a spoonful of this mixture. Better yet, dip your whole sandwich into the bowl of the copycat Cane’s Sauce. Feel free to get creative!

If you make this super easy recipe for your friends or bring it to a party, I promise they’ll be begging you for the deets. Pro tip: You should make way more than you think people will want. There’s no such thing as having too much sauce, IMHO.

How long can I keep homemade Raising Cane’s sauce in the fridge?

This sauce stores in the fridge for up to one week. Make sure to keep it in a properly sealed food storage container. Luckily, it’s easy to make so you can enjoy fresh batches often. (But let’s be real with each other, you probably won’t have any leftovers of this!)

Are there any other Raising Cane’s recipes I can make at home?

Absolutely! If you can’t make it to a Raising Cane’s location, you can bring the restaurant to your own house. Spoon HQ has cracked the code on how to make copycat Cane’s chicken fingers and Texas Toast in your own kitchen. I mean, just check out how delicious this toast below looks.
