Polynesian Sauce

Polynesian Sauce is a must when you visit Chick-Fil-A. It’s easy to make your own version of this delicious copycat recipe at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Chick-Fil-A has a wide variety of dipping sauces, like their famous Chick-Fil-A Sauce, to use for their delicious chicken. I would have to say that their Polynesian sauce is one of the most popular among all of their choices. It was actually one of their first sauces they introduced in 1984 and has been a big hit ever since.

Chick-Fil-A is one of the only restaurants our whole family agrees on so being able to make our own version at home is wonderful. We love dipping our chicken and even fries in this tangy sweet and sour sauce. We can’t get enough!

What makes this so good

Convenient – No need to go to the restaurant to enjoy this popular sauce.

Fast – Can be made in about 5 minutes with 4 ingredients. Just dump and stir.

Taste – This recipe tastes very close to the original without using corn syrup and preservatives. You can view all of the ingredients Chick-Fil-A uses for their sauces on their website.

Ingredients needed

This is a simple recipe with just a few key ingredients.

Catalina salad dressing – This makes a great base for the sauce giving it a sweet taste and red color. Use your favorite brand of Catalina or California French dressing.

Honey – Adds a hint of sweetness.

Apple cider vinegar – Balances the sweetness with some tang.

Ground mustard – Adds an extra layer of flavor. You could leave this out if you don’t have it in your spice cabinet.

Recipe tips

• I recommend letting this sit in the refrigerate for about an hour to let the flavors blend together.
• One advantage to making this at home is that you can easily adjust the ingredients. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of honey.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
