We just moved back to Japan from the states and I’ve been cravinggggg this sauce so bad! I had gotten used to buying the big bottles from Krogers and globbing it on everything! lol. The huge markup on Amazon to ship it here just didn’t sit well, so I tried a few different versions of this recipe online. This one’s definitely the best! Tastes just like it! Thank you so much!
Ah, I’m so glad that you found this! Chick-fil-A sauce is a MUST!
So yummy 😋 thank you! I think I put to much lemon though, so added a little Xanthan gum and fixed it right up!
Can you use Dijon mustard or does it have to be yellow mustard?
