Homemade Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce

One of the many reasons I love Chick-fil-A is all of their tasty sauces. The Polynesian sauce is at the top of our favorites list because of it’s sweet and tangy flavor.

I decided to try making a copycat version when we had a Chick-fil-A night at home with chicken strips and waffle fries.

The key to making this sauce fast and easy is the Catalina dressing. It really makes a great base and helps to give it that authentic Chick-fil-A flavor.
